Hey Queen, I'm not a runner myself (would love to be) but these are what Maeve recommend.
you got this Queen!!! 👸
Thanks a mill! There's so many that I was like I'll ask Queens for their advice!
@Lisa Kilgarriff omg lisa ahh im doing this too. I started to try to do this on sundays and obv just a light jog/walk but, I began in december and it felt so great I as surprised my first run I could actually go for 3km I think the workouts are paying off.. You know a great app is the nike running app, you listen to a coach while running and they guide you through that first run, the second run and so on. I use it and it helped to set a good running pace, becuase I am so shit I just go full sprint die and then walk lol... for Trainers I wear either air zoom tempo (got these for christmas)

or the Nike pegasus which are a bit cheaper, also a really good running shoe

I have seen there is a nike Trail shoe but I havnt tried it. Another brand I like is Asics and they do some great running shoes too. I havnt bought or worn them in a while so I wouldnt know which would be the best for running but maybe someone else can advise on other brands.
Thanks so much Maeve, I promised my boyfriend I'd start last year, but didn't lol so I said I will in this year 🤣 I'm in my second Week of Queens Dont Quit, and I am loving it ans feeling great! 💪🏻
Started running during the summer after about a month of the workouts and I was pleasently surprised with how far I could actully go, but also how much further i could go once i stopped for a minute for a rest. The workouts are great for endurance!! The hardest part is getting up and going!
I have the nike peagasus and I really like them but I prefer my asics. So comfortable. They came highly recommeded and live up to it. The gel is great!!
@Aine O'Brien thanks a mill! Is there any specific types in asics tgat are good?
@Lisa Kilgarriff couch to 5km is brilliant, such a good way to stage progress rather than going flat out from the start then possibly getting annoyed or frustrated!
I second the Nike Pegasus zoom- they are the most comfortable running runner I have worn in the last few years. Really good cushioning. I even bought a second pair to have to wear around the house as the first pair are mucky from walking and running in the countryside!
With Asics I would think you would be best getting a gait analysis done to determine the right pair as they have so many options, and some are quite specific based on how you walk run. Some can be quite rigid.
I used the shoe finder on the asics website!!! It gives you a really good guide!!
@Aine O'Brien Great idea, I hadn't heard of that at all.
@Lisa Kilgarriff Hey Lisa I started c25k back in Oct and ran my first 5km xmas eve - i was thrilled with myself and felt like i had run a marathon :):) i defo creidt the workouts with my fitness level and so on
Re runners I am wearing a pair of old nike running runners that a friend gave me but I have heard great things about pegasus also - also a friend of mine who does marathons and so on recommended the nike air zoom pegasus 35 shield version which are waterproof
I decided I would go for the 5km and then try to beat my times and if that works I will try 6km then 7km and so on and I will treat myself to proper runner runners then x
