    Rich, that's so cool - thanks for that post, I'm printing it out to stick up in the kitchen! So encouraging. I haven't even been looking at my heart rate, but yes, yesterdays average was 156bpm, compared to 146bpm the day before, so it definitely was harder (not just the mental challenge!), but I improved time anyway - so - all's good for Bevs progress!!!

    Ummmm dont shout but lunarglides - ooooo drools after reviews on RW forum

    Might go try some on Friday after work :p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    But why??????

    You hear this bumph every time any company releases a new shoe...isnt that what marketing is about?

    'Its a miracle, it makes running soooo much easier and stops me getting injured any more' etc - usually coming from an employee or associate of the manufacturing company who has popped out for all of a 3 mile run.:rolleyes:


    Oooo and they grip in the wet!!!:p Might be useful if you're used to falling over every time it rains!:rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl:

    Get some next year when they're £20 and they've moved on to the next new thing!;)

    (Oooo 8 wickets down - must win from here!:D)

    Ah well these are guys who have been for 13 mile runs in them I wasnt keen on them at all until I read about 20 good reviews - because I've been rolling my ankle over when tired in races I'd like to try them out anyway and maybe keep them for longer runs and races :D

    You go try them Becky - guys just don't like change, or spending money - ha ha! Shame you can't really try shoes before you spend so much on them.

    Not today though as I'm going for lunch with my boss :D

    Anyway they may be rubbish - might try them at Nike but buy them from Sweatshop as its a months return there (god they are good!)

    wow - that is a good deal. So, sweatshop are the way to buy? Hmm, maybe I'll try some new asics on in store and buy from sweatshop then!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Read the reviews - they're pretty much all men.

    But more tellingly, they seem to know the ins and outs of every running shoe on the market virtually - a slight suspicion that they are serial fallers for the marketing hype??????:p

    When you've heard the same old bumph hundreds of times it does become a little 'so whattish' and the best strategy remains to buy last year's hot new thing! It still does what it did last year!;)

    Hmm, probably a bit like the book reviews I do for Waterstones, they will not allow a negative review! If you refuse to rave, they just don't publish a review at all!
