The Mock Turtle

I'll update you all on them later today. I'll do a short 5 x 3 min 5km pace session.

Influenced by you, Duo, I have just purchased a pair of NB carbon running shoes. I’ve only got one pair currently (not carbon) and wanted a second pair in rotation. I got these ones as I’m confident in sizing etc (and they were on sale!)

Very nice.

Lovely!

I ran in mine last night. 5 x 3 mins efforts. They're fast and I was panicking a bit. Like riding a racing bike when you've been used to a kids trike

Ooh they sound scary but good.

This sounds amazing. I hope mine arrive before Friday when I have strides on the plan!

I really wish I'd got some now!!

MIne arrived today. I tried them on and jumped around the house a bit. The fit seems great.

I'd only buy them if you're going to be racing as they're not as cushioned as normal running shoes and only last a fraction of the time - I'll be lucky if I get 400km out of mine, my average distance per year is close to 2000km.

Good to hear. I did look at them before buying my ones and realised they're overkill for me.

I do have a bit of a plan, so these should fit in nicely. My Vongos will definitely be my daily run shoe though.

How is everyone getting on with their new footwear?

Thanks all for your advice and input. I am enjoying my new shoes.

Mine haven’t been delivered yet (they seem to have been stuck in Melbourne since Wednesday ) so I’ll not get to try them until next week now I expect. I have a speed and an intervals session on the plan next week though so will try them then.

I've only tried them once. I'll be wearing them again tomorrow for an easy 5km and then I have the first in a series of races on Sunday which is the reason I bought them.

I'll keep you updated.

My Hokas are as good as new, only worn them twice I think. I can see why people like them but mine aren't quite hitting the high point I was expecting just yet. I suspect they will need a little more wearing in before I am fully comfortable with them.

I have new shoes.

Not fancy carbon ones for speedsters, but stable wide ones for rubbish arches and dodgy ankles.

What did you get?

Yay for new shoes! What did you go for? Have you tried them out yet?
