Great 5k in My New Nimbus 12's!

I've just got back from a great 5k run in my new trainers :-)

I wrote a little while back that I would run a 5k as fast as possible, then do the 10-20-30 training twice a week for one month and then run the same 5k again to see if the 10-20-30 training does indeed better your time.

I ran this 5k in 27 minutes and 15 seconds which is only 40 seconds off my personal best. That isn't bad considering it was an EXTREMELY windy day today and the first 2k I ran was into the wind.

I look forward to see how much (if at all) my 5k time will improve in a month. I will run at the same time of day as today and with as close to the weather conditions as I can get to try and get a fair test!

New Asics Nimbus 12 Trainers!

I have just bought myself some new Asics Nimbus 12 trainers :-) Talk about hard to find!
Everywhere is selling the Nimbus 13 so it has been really hard to find some Nimbus 12's and finding them in the size I want made it even harder.

I decided to stick to the Nimbus 12's as my feet have high arches and Nimbus 13 gets bad reviews from people with feet like mine. Also I tried on the Nimbus 13's and found them to be so narrow I felt that my feet were being squeezed :-( Not good for running a marathon!

I went up a size in my new Nimbus 12's as I have been having problems with losing my toenails and after running a half marathon on Monday I checked to see how much space there was between my toes and the end of the shoe and found out that my toes were touching the ends! My feet must really swell up during a long run.

The only bad thing about my new trainers is the colour! I no longer run in pink :-(

New Trainers Asics Nimbus 12 in Pink

I have just bought some new trainers as my Nikes are a little worn out now.

I figured it was best to buy some new trainers a while before Copenhagen Marathon so I can wear them in.

I choose the Asic Nimbus 12 (in pink) because I have strange feet! I have high arches but over pronate! I always knew this but let a specilist tell me this time :-) I tried on some trainers and liked the Nimbus 12 but couldn't afford the 1500kr for them. (and they weren't pink).

I found them on the internet for 989kr so bought them straight away!!!

I can't wait for my run tomorrow evening to try them out :-)
