Having started to jog (for jog, read collapse in a forward motion) regularly, I thought it time to buy some trainers more suitable. I had been jogging in my more than respectable adidas trainers (similar to these ones, bought when trainers were more colloquially known as “pub loafers”, and worn by all, everywhere). These were fine for looking good at le discothèque (or is it la discothèque?), but were a little too heavy for jogging. So, we headed on down to the Queensway Shopping Center and ended up with a pair of adidas adizero trainers (sorry, running shoes). Sticker price $180. We pay $136. Not bad.
As excited as a small boy in a sweet shop with a pocket full of change and a brand new set of dentures, we headed out for a test-jog yesterday. What a difference! The trainers (sorry, running shoes) were incredibly light. And, I can prove that they help me run better, faster, longer, higher (well, maybe not the last one). I normally last for 15 minutes before collapsing. Yesterday, we ran for 17 minutes. That’s a little over 13% improvement, just from a pair of trainers. Who knows what a new pair of socks could do…
