PF and ankle sore in the morning. Blisters and soreness is now almost completely healed.
I have a time trial to run tomorrow so have rested my feet today.
2nd August — Longest run for over 2 months.
12.5 miles hilly off road run on grass mainly (short road section), wearing Inov8 Terroc shoes.
These shoes are not very cushioned and have a low heel with no real stability — very comfortable and well worn-in. They took me up and down the Snowdon Mountain Race two weeks ago without drama.

Just a gentle run wearing old, cushioned, but not supportive shoes.
