Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

Ran a few miles with my new shoes and my god, were they amazing. It felt like cheating. Like I was weightless and just flying. I will try to increase the distance this weekend, but it's the best I've felt about running in a long time. The shoes weren't cheap but they were worth it!

I'm about due for some new shoes. What did you go with?

[–] cccrontab@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Brooks Ghost Max 2s. They are not cheap though. I paid $160. They are my first pair of Brooks, and I really like them so far.

They are Brooks Ghost Max 2s. They are expensive. I paid $160. I've never spent this much on running shoes before. I was hesitant but when I put them on at the store and walked around, I was sold.

Just did 25k; the longest run of my life. Stoked!

Morning so. Injury free (so far) and waiting to start my Parkrun. I've been hesitant about these for a long time because I didn't think I liked running in a group. Turns out I like running in a group.

I’m not a morning runner by any stretch but I’ve always made time for Parkrun. Sometimes its sociable but often times its just me and a bunch of strangers going for a run.

Sometimes you just want to be around people but not have to interact.
