Battled through knee pain, long term heel pain and arch pain due to my trainer being done up too tight so not the best Half I've ever done but it's done!

Nice, that's the sort of jazz that gets you motivated

I ran yesterday, was a nice 5.7k, couldn't bring myself to do it today, first day off in a long while

I managed 6 km yesterday and 5 km today to maintain my 16 consecutive days of running at least 5 km. Quite enjoyable, despite the heat!

5k training run done. Still a bit warm for me & a tad steady after far too much Vimto & ice cream over the last couple of days, but glad I did it, and far more constructive than staying in bed all morning.

After a crap 18 mths due to 2 shoulder fractures, managed to get back up to 10 miles recently (over a min a mile slower than before injury) and have now got a calf strain, been 3 weeks resting and I am going stir crazy. So I did some research on new runners as I have used Ultraboost for years but hate the 21 and 22 versions and purchased a shiny new pair of Asics Novablast 2. Anyone had any experience in these? The research and early walks seem to fit what I want but not being able to run is a bind.

I was wondering what trainers everyone is wearing these days? And do you like them?

Ultraboost 20s - for me they are perfect lots of cushioning and great grip. However the UB21s and 22s are totally different and I don't like them (mainly the weight of the things they are 1/3 Kg each!). So just bought Asics Novablast 2 but not able to run as I am nursing an injury, will update you when I do.
Ps: Shoes should be a totally personal thing, some people like cushioning, others like light weight and others may need stability, I would always suggest getting your gait analysed before buying a new brand of runners.
