ahwiles:
you should try the sheffield percy-pud 10k, i ran it in 44mins a few years ago - and i was overtaken by the pantomime horse!
I did this last year....pissed it down and race nearly got called off.
Things i do for a free xmas pud!
Got some Salomon Speedcross 2s after having major issues with my Inov8 Roclites (sent them back).
What happened? I seem to remember I had a hand in recommending them ...sorry they didn't work out 🙂
Inov8 Roclites
Sorry to hear that. I love mine...running, walking or just tooling about in muddy fields when camping.
I did a 3:14 marathon last year and was comfortably beaten by Spiderman.
Steve and Jamie - bit of an odd one TBH. I've got Inov8 Mudclaws which are great and size 9 - so ordered size 9 Roclites from Wiggle (no one sold them locally). They arrived and the left shoe fitted fine, the right one was tight - which has never happened before.
A pain to send back so just hoped the right one would loosen up - it didn't and I was also getting major calf ache - literally hobbling around after each run. I got this initially with the Mudclaws but it soon wore off so I persisted. About 8-10 runs later it was getting pretty bad so I asked Wiggle if it was possible to return them - I reckon there was a sizing issue.
Anyway Wiggle took them back with a full refund - amazing! I then went to the newly opened Cotswold Leisure who have Inov8s and Salomons. Tried the Roclites in a size up but the Salomons were comfier and a wee bit lighter. They also have a bit of heel padding. Now done three runs in them and they not only grip as well/better than the Roclites, they also cause no calf pain at all. And they were in a 15% off sale too!
They also (IMO) look a bit nicer - Inov8s just look a bit geeky to my funny old eyes. And finally, I find Inov8 laces too short - they come undone a lot. The Salomons have a very handy speed lacing system.
