Ready for Cork…

Officially I’m ready for my first marathon…

Shoes – ready (slightly worn already),
Number – known already, need to pick up before race,
Belt – bought,
Energy gels – tested, know which ones I will be using (no stomach problem after these),
Cap – missing, but not a big problem to buy,
Socks – ready,
Shorts – ready,
Singlet – that was the last piece of the puzzle missing. But I was able to sort that out with help of Martha from company OOYO Sports in Lucan (http://www.ooyosports.com). They have printed for my singlet with my logo and it looks really good. Now the last thing for marathon is weather. Hopefully it will be very nice. Read more

NB testing

Because I like quite much New Balance shoes I thought that I can ask NB producer to maybe sent me time to time some shoes to test.

It’s not that I just want to get free shoes just had an idea. I’m running about 160-180 km on the streets or gym. Running just in NB shoes, even walks in other pair of NB’s. So just walking advert 😉 Anyway, thought that I can ask them about that but haven’t got any idea where to send email to UK department. But when went on the US version of the website I have found ‘Sports Reasearch Lab’, so basically you can test shoes for them. Only issue is that program is working just in US. So have lied that I’m from Wyoming, but have put in the rest of address accordinally to place where I live. Account was set, administrator probably haven’t got anything against me 😉 I have followed by email saying that I would like to participate in testing program but I’m from Ireland. Hope that will work. Waiting now for reply. Read more

New shoes and terrible pain

What worse you can do when you just have purchased new shoes? Yes, you guested it correct… You take these new shoes next day for a 13 km run. Great idea… You just need to be prepared for massive pain. Read more

New shoes – NB M1400BG2

Running season is starting slowly (for some is already in whole swing) so it is time to look at the running gear…

As I was blogging before https://maditrunner.com/running-shoes/ it seems that my favourite brand of running shoes is New Balance. So decided to check my NB’s before Cork Marathon and … maybe even before Sunday Samsung Night Run. Went to Amphibian King to see some new models. I have brought my old NB (white one) to show how I wear off shoes and straight away after showing these to advisor he told me that I need new ones and I need them now. OK, wasn’t expecting that. Just wanted to buy new ones but still use the old model for training. According to advisor he wouldn’t even wear old ones on the treadmill. Read more

Running shoes

I know that for now you can’t say that I’m a serious runner… Just less than a year of running under my belt. But I think at this stage I can say which shoes brand I think suits me best. Read more
