Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hi all,
I have been helped out by Fetchies for my first mini marathin, am now getting ready for next one in September, got to get some shous, have been using Asics cumulus, which I really like, but I am looking at the Asics Gel-Noosa Tri 11, does anyone know thse shoes? Or have any other recommnedations for tri shoes, here we tend to run a bit on the beach and then the road and then trail.
thanks for any help

I wear my Nike Frees, simply put you want something that isn't too abrazive on you feet when you run with no socks on.

Zoot/Newton/asics do shoes aimed directly at triathletes but Nike and Adidas trainers seem to be nice enough as a rule.

If you really think trails are the answer it is hard to look beyond Salomon speed cross as they even have quick release laces :¬)

Yeah you just look like a triathlete if you wear them ;-)

I don't enjoy the fit from Asics
