^ They look very purposeful, but a couple of sizes too small for me. Actually I'm in the market for some trail shoes, but ones that can take a bit of tarmac for door-to-trail type runs, and a more rugged alternative to my normal road shoes, for the Beachy Head Marathon, especially if the weather's shit and the downs are slippery. Has anyone experienced Saucony Peregrine 7? Will probably try a pair on in RunnersNeed tomorrow, to use up some vouchers I won at the Pride 10k. Good old price-match. :)
In training news, I abandoned a planned session of 6 x mile (1 min recovery) after 4 reps this evening, due to feeling light-headed, possibly from dehydration (?) Felt really muggy. Pace was good till then, 5:19, 5:18, 5:18, 5:20 (aiming for 5:20, target 10k pace), hopefully won't have the same issues during the race or it'll be even more horrid.
I've arranged a trade for some Roclites - unless you're doing really muddy stuff, I'd sack off studded tread as it isn't comfortable on tarmac/hard and flat trail.
I bought the Peregrines. Thankfully half a size up was a good fit (10 rather than usual 9.5) meaning I could use startfitness.co.uk for price match (9.5 out of stock); add some vouchers and they cost me £29. Yay! Will get them out over Oxleas Wood shortly.
