Would different shoes work Mat?

I have a pair of size 10 Nikes hardly worn and you are welcome to them as they are a little too big for me.

I'm not sure about the shoes, I went for gait analysis and was told that me style was bad but the shoes are pronation control ones and a good make.

Need to go back to the shop and see them again to check if its worth changing them but general consensus was that I wasn't doing enough miles for the shoes to be the root of the problem though

I'm currently in a 12.5 extra wide shoe so the 10s would probably be a bit ickle for me

Thank you for the offer though

Been reading about your issues Matt. Wanted to say in your defence if you've followed the couch to 5k training program then you've done nothing wrong. Its what I did and I had no issues and I'm probably carrying more weight than you

I know people who have attempted it but had issues so it probably is something physical holding you back, and would definitely be worth getting sorted to prevent yourself doing harm. I'm sure you are doing the right thing getting it all checked out

So I start my marathon training next week. A mate has dumped his iPhone and got a Garmin GPS watch as apparently you can't use an iPhone for timing in a marathon due to UKA rules. No mp3 players. If that's true I guess I'll need to get one too. But I like the Runkeeper training programs as it integrates with the app. I like the robot woman telling me what to do. Not sure how I'd cope with a watch for interval training.

Got some feet issues, well foot. Ball of right foot been giving me issues since about 6 miles into Friday's 10 miles, kept off it over the weekend and got some gel inserts. Gave up walk into work today and it felt better so did a quick 2.28 miles this evening. Foot now hurts on top instead

Still doesn't really hurt any more with pressure though, just when I move my toes or do nothing. Did the miles in 16:01 though.

Nothing wrong with that, slow and steady to build it up. And running the whole way from only being able to run a minute is pretty good going
