Graham Stewart Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hi there, I'm 55 and live in Edinburgh and South Tyneside. I'm a total newbie to running a nd have just completed Week 1 using the C25K app. Totally loving running despite the aches and pains. No goals yet, apart from learning to run well. All tips and advice most welcome. Weddingdance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weddingdance Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 My advice also as a novice runner are to make sure you have good shoes. You don't want to injure yourself, have to take a break to heal, then never get started again (ask me how I know...). Congrats on completing Week 1!

Graham Stewart Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Thanks for the tip. Any advice on good shoes. I bought a pair of New Balance Zante 4 running shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisdog Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Have finished C25K and am ending week 1 of the 10k ap. I am running in Sketchers leisure shoes. I did not want to pay out a lot of money on shoes before I knew whether I would give up or not. Today I did 6k and had some pain in my right foot. I really think I need proper running shoes but have no idea what to buy. Some of them look very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
