They are both more expensive than a lot of the trainers Adidas and Nike offer LOL.

...because they are far better, particularly Nike, to get worse quality than Nike you need to shop at Decathlon ;)

Anyone recommend some mid range priced running trainers. So many to choose from and dont really want to spend £100+. Do mainly road runs up to 10k and might push to doing half marathon distance in the summer when it warms up.

For the last 5 years I have only ever worn Asics. Cheshire Oaks store will do a simple gait test and advise.

Can't comment personally but Hoka One seem to be growing in popularity.

Re budget, with road running shoes you get what you pay for.

I'm in pain from a flat 5k last night.

I go to the gym quite a bit (well before lockdown) and I train all muscle groups including legs.

Now sometimes I do ache when I have done a heavy weights session but I have never ached like this before after doing sprints!

Even after a heavy leg day!

Hmmm strange opinion, all the top athletes run in nike nowadays, as do most folk at any local races. I started out with asics, then tried brooks, then new balance but am now on nike and finding my running more enjoyable than ever, never had any problems quality wise with them either, Ive a pair that have well over 1000 miles done and are still going strong, would never have got anywhere near that amount from any of the asics or brooks I used. As for adidas, they make united kit ffs

F***ing freezing at 6.30 this morning. 5k at a steady 8:51 pace & avg HR of 137.

I ran from Lymm to Grappenhall and back yesterday, starting at 3:30pm, and there were light flecks of snow from my half way point. Cold, but at least dry, so pretty enjoyable. In fact very enjoyable. 15k covered.

A fully expected London Marathon rejection for me this year! Did anyone on here get a place?
