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.

I recently got a pair of 22's having worn out a pair of 20's and fractured my ankle the first time I wore them (maybe more my fault, but good to blame other factors (bigger sole)), also get a repeated blister on the inside of my right foot where the cage seems to rub, and after getting back to some sort of routine now my injury has healed, I am getting a pain in my left calf/shin, so haven't been out in a week..... will attempt a run tomorrow though as half marathon in 7 weeks and need to get the miles in.

Started to look for another pair of 20's or DNA 4.0's, but none in my size online. I can get 44% off at Adidas, so ideally need to wait for them to come back in stock.

2 miles at lunchtime today as only 28 degrees in south London. I did 2.5 indoor miles in front of fan at home on Sunday

I am going to have a look at the Boston 11s, I think they seem to be more like the older Ultras, but I needed to replace my 20s and went for the Asics until the Boston 11s are on sale (£140 is just too much)

Solarglide 4 ST look like they could be an option as well, curretly reduced to less than £100

3 miles this morning before work. Looking after some cats about 1.5 miles away. Ran there this morning, fed cats and ran back home. 2nd half 1 min quicker than first and felt good

Did Stretford Parkrun this morning in 33:02. 4 seconds slower than my overall PB, but a PB for the location. Struggled a bit with the humidity this morning.

I ran my annual lap around Derwentwater before breakfast this morning. I met a guy about half way round and ran the second half with him. 15km. Loved it, despite slight drizzle in parts, and some muddy puddles.

Lunch with the family later to celebrate my 61st birthday.

signed up for Stratford 5k in a few weeks (around the Hammers ground) very flat

aiming for a PB and beat my 23:26 I did in 2020

10k this morning. Lost half a stone last week with the covo and it definitely helps being lighter
