Nice, subbed mate, I've just started training for an ultra too! a little bit heavier than you about 4 kilos. so its good to see someone similar in size getting the running in. I also hope the weight starts dropping doing it too! good luck.

[@tommywills]

Cheers mate! I’ll be documenting my progress until April, so hopefully you get some value! Appreciate the sub 🤝🏼

Probably will want to start looking at getting some proper running sneakers/sneaker rotation if its in the budget. Ultraboosts arent that great for the amount of running you'll be doing, much better stuff on the market for running now. Good luck on this journey

[@tommywills]

Yeah definitely on the cards. Had my ultraboosts for about 3 years now. Personally i’m really happy with them for flat road runs, but will be investing in a few weeks for sure. Any recommendations? Heard good things about Hoka

[@angelinakrusko]

@@tommywillsHokas, Brooks, or Sauconys are definitely my top 3 running sneaks!

[@jpmj1340]

​@tommywills A lot of my friends love their hokas, I haven't used hokas but yeh Ive heard good things too. If you're looking for a good hybrid between trail and road shoe and dont have problems with ankle stability, I'd say to look the asics novablast 3 TR. I use the regular road version and it's by far my favourite daily trainer compared to NB fresh foam sneakers and anything with boost. That being said the market has so many options now so its good to keep an open mind and physically try them on.
