| I've been last a few times, and it only bothered me once. I did a 5k in Alsager, and the marshalls started packing up before I passed them. They took down the signs warning cars of runners in the road, so I had to move onto the pavement to avoid being mown down by the traffic returning onto the route, and without the signage to direct me I didn't know the route, so ended up getting lost and doing an extra ½ mile or so!!! Really wasn't very happy. But otherwise, I tended to find there's a lot of camararderie at the back of the pack |

Hello, I just took up running again after a 5 year or so break. I'm heading down to the running shop tomorrow for my shoes, but could do with some decent, but cheap, clothing too. I remember a few years back that Aldi did some decent running gear - does anyone know if they're still selling it? Sorry to ask on here, but it's a few miles to my nearest Aldi, and I'd rather not make a wasted trip if they don't!! Cheers all | |

Watch Me Go, Did you open your shop in the end? Would be interested to visit if so. If not, other than New Ferry, does anyone know where else to buy running shoes in the North Wales / Chester area? Cheers | |

Hello again, long time no chat!!! I hung up my running shoes about 3 years ago due to foot problems and not being able to find the right shoe for the job, but I want to start running again. I have a severe supination (under-pronation) and just couldn't find a shoe with enough cushioning for me - kept getting pain in the balls of my feet, with eventual numbness spreading from my toes up - nothing to do with lace tightness, I even tried it with the laces undone to same result. I tried the Sucaonay Grid Trigons (2003 version) and the Nike Air Pegasus (2004), but always felt that the cushioing was still too hard. I'm hoping that in the 3 years I've not run, shoes will obviously have developed more, and that someone somewhere will have come up with a pair of pillows for my feet. I'm talking ultimate cushioing. So does anyone have any suggestions for me to go try on before I hit the streets again? Thanks in advance!! | |
