  • Training is paying off and my pace is getting more regular and quick. Narrowly missed out on a 45 minute 10k today (I blame an ankle biting dog), and I reckon I will crack 20 minutes 5k soon.

    After a few attempts at patching up those shoes, I've realised they're not going to be comfortable for anything more than 10k and I need a pair of shoe for long runs mainly on road and towpaths. Any suggestions? What's a good shoe for running 30km plus that is kind to knees and gives good support?

    Also if anyone has something suitable for sale in 9.5, let me know.

  • Just a quick check, you know what to do if a dog chases you of snaps at you while running?

    Stop, stand perfectly still, fold your arms and stare into the distance. Don't acknowledge it.

    Sorry if you knew that already.

    And then rip into the owner for not having trained their dog properly.

  • I actually did stop a couple of times, but I was feeling impatient and didn't want to lose my flow so maybe didn't' wait long enough. As soon as I started again it would be straight back at my ankles.

    Wasted a fair few seconds on it.

  • Just a quick check, but to be clear, it's a dog owners responsibility to keep them under control and not attack runners...

    Sorry if you already knew that.
