Trail shoes advice

I knew it - let the podriatrist lose with his camera and in a jiffy I pronate. So now I need orthotics and (mild) anti-pronation running shoes. I've got the former, and a new pair of road shoes (NB 857s). Next I need some anti-pronation trail shoes. John mentions the Montrail shoes on this site. And I see on the internet that the Asics Gel Trabuco X WR and the Brooks Trail Addiction seem to fit the bill. Any advice/recommendations, anyone? (I've still got my Inov8 Mudclaws for the fells, but I don't think they have enough cushioning for the mixed road/trail runs around Keswick.) Cheers. Quentin

Another Black Combe Recce

I'm hoping to have another run round the Black Combe race route this Sunday if anyone is up for a run. I cant get away from work until 12 but I hope to be there by 1:30. I can give some lifts if anyone can get to Buttermere for 12.

Inov-8 High Cup Nick 2008

Provisional results can now be found at the NFR website (http://www.northumberlandfellrunners.co.uk/html/raceresults/2008/HighCupNick-08-results.txt) along with some photos from the race.

Well done to all Keswick runners for daring the "interesting" conditions on top of the Nick but special mention for Carol, Trudy and Debbie who secured the ladies team prize.

Trail Shoes for sale

For Sale - Montrail Continental Divide size UK 8 as new. Suit mild to over pronators as they have a medial post built in. Super comfy, super suportive, ideal for long distances off road or Lakeland trails series. I got them from work but no good for me as I need a neutral shoe. Bargain at £25, (rrp £65).
cheers John.
