Went to Run and Become today to see if they could recommend some trainers better suited to my running/jogging style. They recommended a pair of adidas supernova with some extra tough cushioning on the inside which should apparently help with the shin problems I've sometimes had. Claire was also kind enough to buy me an early anniversary present of adidas clima cool top and shorts. She was heard complaining that "this is the most expensive run ever!"

I headed off to Bridgend to try out all the new kit on a treadmill. 20 minutes came and went with no niggles so I carried on and made the 4 miles with little fuss. The new trainers seemed to work well today, the 7 mile run tomorrow will really test them out though.
