It’s fair to say that #operationyummymummy is seeing me run; a lot. I aim to run a minimum of 3 times per week and hope that by race day in July I’ll be able to complete the 10K in less than 70 minutes – which at the moment for me seems like a tall order.
One area of kit apart from a sports bra that makes a massive difference is trainers. Sportshoes.com very kindly offered to send me a pair of trainers of my choice to help with my training. But first I had to choose a pair; I’m no expert and was being seduced by colours and lace styles but there’s a brilliant video tutorial that helps you chose the perfect pair of trainers by identifying with a super simple test which one of three categories you fall into as a runner.
According to the wet test I’m a mild to moderate overpronator, which means my feet go inwards as I run, accounting for my reoccurring shin splints…OUCH!
Good for my feet and super hot!
There’s whole sections on the website of trainers that match the type of runner you are so I chose the Adidas Lady Adistar Salvation 3. Delivery was super fast and I was in love at first sight. Apart from being the sexiest running trainer I’d set me eyes on they performed when tested. I’ve only worn them for the past fortnight but can already feel a real difference – my run feels less heavy and my contact with the ground is much softer a fluid.
I spy some super funky tyre technology!
I’ll let you know how I get on with the trainers in the long term.
Thank you so much Sportshoes.com for your most generous gift – a brilliant website that not only offers unrivaled discount for top brands and models but great advice and support to help you progress in your chosen sport.
Disclosure: I was sent a pair of Adidas Lady Adistar Salvation 3 free of charge for review. No payment was received and all opinions are 100% honest we promise.
