Morning Run: New Shoes
steevc just finished a 7.09km run, that lasted for 42 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 543.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
As mentioned previously I had some issues with the Allbirds shoes I bought recently. They are fine for walking, but give me blisters when running. I have bought another pair of their Dasher shoes that were fine for me. The last pair have clocked up nearly 1000km with no issues. These shoes have a lower environmental impact than other brands through use of natural materials. They are not cheap, but if you check the different colours you may find some deals.
I used these for my usual run today. It rained a fair bit yesterday, but this morning was cool and dry. The run was okay with the usual niggles from my hip. I really hope that will improve soon. I am seeing the physio again next week to check my progress.
I was not going for a fast pace, but had a little burst on the way back. I did some stretching before and after the run. I saw a couple of other runners out there. One young guy came steaming past me as I went up West Drive. I was not going to keep up with him.
The shoes were fine. The old ones have lost all their tread, but have worn well.
After I had breakfast and showered we had some rain, so I managed to miss that. It is predicted to rain more later, so maybe summer is over. Of course Wimbledon is on so that sometimes means we get rain.
I will aim to do another outing before parkrun and may try some intervals. I seem to be lacking a little fitness lately. That may be down to my hip issue, but I can still run.
Run free and stay strong.

I need to get my shoe back and start running exercise back. It has been long
Allbirds are great shoes! I only use them for walking though, wouldn't run in them though. I've never tried out Dasher, how are they?
I find the Dasher good for running. I've had no issues with them. I tried the Flyer which has a firmer sole, but they don't work for me.
Nice shoes. I picked up a pair of Asics, but I keep getting blisters on the back of my ankle. I might have to look into something else soon. Hoping they just need to be worked in a bit.
The other ones gave me blisters on my instep, but these are fine so far. Just have to find what works for you.
Hope all is good with you.

Pretty good. I've been a little bummed about all the smog and weird weather. Putting a damper on travel plans this summer. The air quality is sh!t and that's putting it nicely. Hope you're well too. I'm gonna try and get more active on here again. I just haven't had a lot of stuff to write about lately. Cheers!
We'll be over in NY next month, so hope it improves by then. I guess I'll have plenty to blog about on our travels.
