Hi sorry to high jack the thread. Please redirect me if I'm posting in the wrong place. I've decided to have a go at running, but I don't have any trainers. Can anyone tell me what sort of trainers I should be buying for a complete beginner? Price is a bit of an issue so please bear that in mind!

Thank you

Amanda

I would go into a proper sports shop (not JJB, but a proper one!) and get a pair recommended.

Make a note of the make, model and size, and make an excuse about waiting until payday and WALK OUT OF THE SHOP.

Then search online, find the same pair at a much lower price, and order them, safe in the knowledge that they will fit!

Happy Running

Thank you very much. That sounds like excellent advice, no price is good if they don't fit! And free advice from the shop to!

Catspaw - You truly are inspirational!!!

Sparkles - well done for keeping it up!

I am still not running but on the other hand a little rest is nice. I am just getting paranoid about everything I eat now that I am not exercising. After just having dropped a dress size don't want to go backwards. Perhaps I can motivate myself for a little yoga or gym ball session tonight...

I've got a pair of Nike Zooms and a pair of Adidas ones (no idea of branding but they're black with a black and blue inner - the blue is the Adidas signs) and they are much more comfy to run in than my Zooms. And they were only 20 quid
