Got some new running shoes for Christmas (Nike Zoom Tempo Next%), went for a run today - my first sort of progression run (10 min easy, 10 min hard, 10 min easy, 10 min hard) since giving up fast running when I got injured.
Wow. I didn't realise shoes could make such a difference. In 8k I beat nearly every PB except my 5k which was only 15 second off. The weeks of physio work to strengthen my calves, glutes and weak left leg has no doubt helped too...
Anyway, running newb revelation complete. Just thought I'd share as it's brightened up my Boxing Day and made me much more excited about 2021!
