The answer to this is always to go to a specialist running shop and try out loads of pairs with the help of the staff. Shoes that are fantastic for me could be awful for you, or vice-versa.

A few years ago (when I started running again seriously) I did exactly that and they put me on a treadmill in the shop and videoed it to analyse how I ran. from that they were able to recommend a particular type of trainer which I've been using ever since with no knee or foot problems at all. Now on my 5th pair as I replace them after about 500 miles.The answer to this is always to go to a specialist running shop and try out loads of pairs with the help of the staff.

Well worth doing to avoid problems.

Which one are you heading to? Aiming for Peel Park unless it rains too much tonight as I struggle in "muddy corner", in which case I'll head to Stretford.

I am doing Heaton Park. I will literally come last in the whole event but I don’t care.

Nice work. I noticed you mention this "arch nemesis" of yours pretty much every run, can you give us some more info? Do you both have costumes? Is there real hatred involved? Does he/she/it/they/them/those know about the rivalry?29:42 at Peel Parkrun this morning, which is my fastest time since I had man flu. Finished ahead of my arch nemesis too!

17 km today, but noticed my socks are not stopping blisters. Any recommendations?
I am wearing Gymshark/Under Armour socks that are supposed to be blister preventions
Are you sure it's not your actual footwear? I tried Brooks trainers once and they gave me horrible blisters regardless of what socks I was wearing. Literally wore them a few times and went straight back to Adidas and New Balance. Never had an issue with either of those brands. Won't be going near Brooks every again I wouldn't have thought.
