Just funny shaped I thinkOriginally Posted by Duncan
The little toes touch the sides slightly. Which was fine on the old ones, as the sides were soft and could give a little - but the new ones have reinforcement there, so it's my toes that give instead!
try take the footbeds out, this should give you move space but try on a relatively shorter run first.
Wouldn't that risk the same aching feet problem I get on long runs with more dedicated fell shoes like the musclaws etc?
The only problem I had with my Highlanders was getting the laces tight all the way down the foot as there's a lot of friction in the sewn eyelets. Maybe tighter lacing is needed? I ended up with two laces on each shoe (one for the top eyelets and one for the lower eyelets) which solved the problem until the eyelets rotted from acid bog water
Not happened to me but like I say try it out on a shorter run. I have no footbeds in any of my running shoes, Montrail, new balance, Innov8, mizumas...
May give it a go this weekend
Yum yum. The pasta at Stonehouse actually saved my life last year
Twas so good that I had two helpings and loitered for nearly half an hour until the showers had passed over! That decent was my emotional low of the race last year. That and the last 20 miles.Yum yum. The pasta at Stonehouse actually saved my life last year
And the rice pudding at Fleet Moss was just the ticket to keep me bouncing over the bogs for the next few hours.
On a separate note, does anyone please have a copy of the splits from last year? I'm keen to learn from my mistakes but don't have the numbers to hand. I was runner No 75. Thanks!
As far as I'm aware, the split times aren't taken.
My downfall last year was not putting more gear on when the icy rain started lashing down on Blea Moor. I ended up cramped up and freezing cold. It was incredible looking back, I went from absolutely fine to a total wreck in about 5 minutes.
Will be watching the forecast very carefully next week.
