On cloudI wear a pair of old Diadora AG boots, fairly flat inner really. Running shoes I have are On Cloudstratus which I think are fairly neutral.

I had no problems with them initially, after suffering really bad previously. They were recommended by a family friend that runs in a club and marathons etc…On cloud
i personally think they're a bit of a fad.I had no problems with them initially, after suffering really bad previously. They were recommended by a family friend that runs in a club and marathons etc…
So I ran my first 10k last night in 1hr 15m 40s. I put 1:15-1:20 on my Middlesbrough 10k application so not a bad guess. I felt a bit deflated as I found it a really hard slog where as my 8km last week felt really strong and fresh. Could be I'm due an easy week I think. I also had a bit of a twinge right in the middle of my calf which obviously won't have helped. A half marathon in Oct felt fully achievable last week but a million miles away last night. I shall keep going and see how I feel in a few weeks. Next run is parkrun sat. I'm in Lancashire so hopefully find a new course.
I'm in the middle of Blackpool, Fleetwood and Lancaster. Lancaster is very slightly the nearest but course page mentioned hilly so will probably go for Fleetwood .Very jealous that you’re trying a Parkrun in Lancashire! You will have to post which one you choose and mention how it goes

The 10k won't have made you "less fit" than the week before when you felt great. The 10k will have added fitness on top of how you felt in the 8km... it's just you can't have a great feel-good run every time.So I ran my first 10k last night in 1hr 15m 40s.

Good luck, the prize pot is 500 quid4 mile fell run at Powburn Show in North Northumberland in morning -only four quid to enter on the day ..( few quid in petrol to get there but loads other stuff on as well ) starts 11am
Just under 34 minutes (provisionally, using my own timing) for Herrington CP today. Sun came out at 8:59, disappeared back behind the clouds at 9:40 . Picked a pacemaker who finished a bit ahead of me last time and trailed him. Felt a bit guilty overtaking him in the last couple of hundred yards.
What is the distance? Might give it a go in a few weeks.
I did a 12.5m walk with the dog in 3.35hrs on my rest day. The little bugger got a big fuss and treat at the end for his 2nd bday.
Anyone doing the Riverside Parkrun in Chester Le Street tomorrow morning?
My first time in 3 years tomorrow after smashing out loads of 3km’s over the past few months and slowly building my fitness back up again. Aiming to do it in under 30 mins that’ll do me fine for my first attempt in such a long while!
Good stuff. Sounds like you are well back on track. I haven’t done cls yet but Spenny is off next week so might consider it. Do you pay to park?Found it easier than I thought kept a steady pace all the way and was pretty comfortable right through to the finish line.
Managed to do it in under 30 minutes as well I’m still waiting for my official time but the Fitbit says 29:58 and that was with forgetting to press finish on the timer about 30 seconds after I actually did so well happy with that!
So after being cheered up by positive comments on here after finding my first 10k long run tough on Tuesday (thanks to those who put it in perspective for me and gave me positive comments) I smashed my parkrun this morning. Did it in 31m36, beating my previous best ny 1m 11s. I was at fleetwood in lancs and the course was flat out and back along the promenade and, whilst my usual course at Spennymoor is on a bit of a hill, my previous best was at Redcar which is pretty flat so I’m deffs getting stronger
