Well fitting trainers are so important- I knew this, but did not really follow it and as a result, had a black toenail last year. Well, I have finally got around to a ‘fitting’ at the RunningHub, a specialist shop, run by keen TW Harriers runner, Allan Cheek. He took over an hour to video analyse my gait and suggest specific trainers that would support and cushion my feet (I am a diabetic). And I learnt something new: there should be a thumbnail width of space between the end of the toes and the trainer. No wonder I had problems with my old pair!
There are two charity runs that I do every year: the summer one is the Race for Life to raise money for Cancer Research UK and is at Dunorlan Park , Tunbridge Wells on 9 June, Sunday. And I have just enrolled! If you wish to help me raise money, please click on my JustGiving page. The second one is later on in the year and is the 10k for the Hospice in the Weald.
