I'm still trying to do some exercise when I can though, it's just, I hate it. I'm lazy, I enjoy sitting down. I wouldn't class myself as a runner; I don't do it that often and I'm not that good at it, but I'm trying to rectify both of those things. I started off with a baggy tshirt and Converse but it was really uncomfortable and my knees and ankles pretty much hated me. At the same time I didn't want to invest in pricey sportswear when there's a high possibility of me giving up to continue my busy work of sitting down.
After a bit of searching, I found eBay store Peach Sports which sells branded sportswear at a lower cost. I got these Adidas trainers for £27 and they arrived really quickly and actually don't look too bad! They're also the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn in my life which actually makes running a lot less painful than usual (although, let's be honest, it still bloody hurts).
I haven't been able to run in such hot weather, but fully intend to start back up again when it's cooled down a bit. Any motivational tips would be greatly appreciated!
I still have a pair of New Balance for you. X
ReplyDeleteOoooo yes! Thanks x
DeleteOh I'm no help with running motivation, I hate running and usually get to the end of the road and then think "I'll just walk for a bit". Spinning classes, swimming 100 lengths a day and doing my usual gym workout are all fine, it's just that for some reason I'm useless at running.
ReplyDeleteGlimmer you sound super fit! Spinning makes me feel like I'm going to vomit and I don't have the lung capacity for swimming. I find running especially good if you're in a shit mood though, I can run for ages when I feel like that.
DeleteJust caught up on some of your blog. you're lucky to get them for £29, mine were £45 reduced from £90 on the adidas outlet store. very good running shoes :)
