I've read books that say your 'gait' can change, and books that say it can't.
Well, after two years / three pairs of over-pronating shoes yesterday the shop that last year confirmed I was still overpronating found I wasn't and I'm now trying some neutral ghosts.

Somewhat concerningly the bloke seemed to think the adrenaline ones were for serious over-pronators, but the evidence on the monitor thing certainly showed much better results in these than any of the others with added support so will see how it goes.

On another note, I tried out this HRM thing but found it only worked when I wasn't wearing a t-shirt, at which point my resting rate was apparently 48-54. Has anyone else used one of these (with something over the top) with any success? The initial tests on a 5 miler report me as 'dead' (I did forget to wet it)

And despite it getting somewhat warmer I'm not going out without a t-shirt!

Yep, my gait has changed. My feet have straightened up quite a lot too, I used to stand and walk very turned out. I'll probably go for more neutral shoes next time.

My resting heart rate is about 62, but bear in mind I have high blood pressure and some kind of arrhythmia when my heart rate slows. Be interested to see what it goes up to when I'm pushing myself, but I'd have to invest in schtuff to find out

Went for a run today with a friend - first time NOT on my own...

She runs slower than me so had to pace with her, but we were catching up and chatting anyway

Lovely day... started from William's gym and went through Kidbrooke, to Blackheath, down through Greenwich Park, round Greenwich Park, through the foot tunnel to Isle of Dogs, along the river to Tower Bridge and back to the foot tunnel.

Then we ate noodles

Garmin said 14.1miles... but obviously didnt register the foot tunnel or the distance from that to the point that it re-joined the satellites... so times not accurate.

Plus my time was much slower as running at Joyce's pace.

14.11miles
2h 53secs

I think it was actually 15miles probably more. Good thing about it is that I now know another route home from work

Try mapmyrun to find out the missing distance if you are interested

Should be able to download the garmin stuff to see what part is missing (possibly).

15 miles in two hours is a bloody good time!

Time on your feet MLP, time on your feet. Bloody well done!

No way I could run 15 miles at the moment. Managed my second run tonight. A measly 4.8 miles at snail's pace before coughing up a lung on the doorstep. Oh well, onwards and upwards. My marathon training doesn't start for 3 weeks so I have that long to get up to 10 miles
