Running thread

Pavements are a death trap at the moment with a sheet of ice underlying the snow.

Hopefully it might melt by the afternoon allowing me to go for a run.

No mate not at all.

I last posted just after new year asking about a question about decent compression tops keeping warm etc.

Went back on facebook this last week after CB passed and can no longer find the group.

How often do people wash their running shoes?

I do it once a week if it has been dry, and after every run if wet etc.
I give them a quick scrub in the kitchen sink. Rinse, then put them on a radiator.
I don't have smelly feet, but just like to keep them looking good etc.

Never washed a pair of running shoes. Or a car

Well I quit the cigs New Year’s Eve and have gone from 0 miles to 8 miles in 20 days. Feel loads better and I’m going to train for a marathon again. Running certainly changes my mental outlook that’s for sure

I absolutely love reading posts like this. From doing nothing to being in training for a marathon, all inside three weeks! Hat duly doffed to you mate. Keep us updated with how you're getting on. You've given me a bit of a boost ahead of this morning's long run that I'm currently trying to talk myself into doing.

I am way too lazy for this. My approach is to own about 4 pairs of running shoes, and, as they get older, 'relegate' them down the pecking order. So my newest ones are saved for dry days when I know they won't see any mud etc., whereas the oldest ones are used when it's rainy, muddy etc. (that's basically 99% of the time in rural Cumbria) or if I'll be party off-road, and I just have those as my dirty shoes that I don't really care about.

Never! What’s the point? On the next run they’ll just get covered in mud again..

I run round Dovestones, so it is mud and grit. If i don't completely submerge in the sink them after a wet run, there can be chunks of it inside.
So it's more to clean the inside than out etc.

When the weather's dry, i just give them a clean once a week to keep them fresh.
I was more asking if it does them any harm especially the insole etc.
