I use Brooks too - Adrenaline GTS 7. They're getting replaced asap though.

They've done 2 10ks 2 half-marathons and about 400 miles of training. About time they were put out to pasture.

I use sorbothane insoles, too, to minimise impact. Recommend those too, well worth the money.

        I was just in the last 800m when it started to spit. (General Chat) - NCFC4life, May 18, 10:09:36
