Ooh yes, Saucony are far too narrow for me, and if I go up enough in size to get the width the length is like I'm wearing clown shoes :-) In running shoes I take half a size up from normal shoes.

I've been swimming :-) swim :-) Only 22 lengths, slowly and very unstylishly, but a swim's a swim!

Thanks folks. I wondered who bet on me AR! I have another 10k on Sunday. But it's a hilly course so I'd strongly advise not to bet.

Happy Birthday Claire. Sounds like you are spending your birthday money well!

Rule of thumb Claire - you should be able to fit the width of your thumb between the end of your big toe and the end of the shoe :)

Kim, I decided that you'd been doing really well on the back of your marathon training, I was um-ing and ah-ing whether to bet on you. You win some and you lose some. ;-)

Do those Kanadias come in a wide fit? My first pair were some lovely Mizunos which gave me black toenails that dropped off. I'd bought them early on in my running life so they weren't a) long enough and b) wide enough. I got some men's Mizunos last year but I really don't like the soles. I also found a black toenail but haven't got a clue when it appeared.

I seem to be now taking 1 1/2 sizes bigger than my shoes to accommodate my mis-shapen feet. ;-)

I'm also in 1.5 sizes bigger.

Columba, we did actually see the Papal Address, but it wasn't planned.

Yeah and I'm doing the sme race so definitely don't bet on me although I would be happy with a course PB.

Another one for Brooks here - I have a brand new pair of Saucony's which were never right although I do get away with them at Circuits

I just bought trail shoes and when trying them on, the Saucony were at least half a size smaller. Went for Brooks.

My running trainers are a spectacular 42.5.

Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
