Slightly more prosaic Lowestoft Parkrun for me. Nearest to off road nevermind fell was a bit of sand on the prom

Got the mudtalon. Right foot fits lovely, but left foot is really tight over my big toe joint. I suspect, but don't have any medical evidence for it, that I've got some inflation or arthritis in that joint, and the very "plastic" material that the mudtalon's are made form (rather than a woven mesh) means there's no flexibility in it to expand. I've put an order in for the wide fit version to check that out and see if that provides the extra space that I might need. Or I could wear them in and hope that some space develops.

Wide toe box version fits nicely, doubt they will actually change my inability to descend at speed but can give them an outing on Black Combe tomorrow at a leisurely pace whilst my two more enthusiastic family members slog up and down (and up and down again) the hill.

Even better news is that as son lives in Newcastle, I can return the first pair through him to StartFitness without having to pay any postage as I can hand them on tomorrow :-)

Got something to say?
