👟💙 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! 💙👟

Today, we’re celebrating all the amazing dads, grandads, stepdads, father figures, and running role models who have inspired us every step of the way.

Whether it was cheering from the sidelines, teaching us perseverance, joining us for our first run, or simply showing us that hard work pays off, dads often play a huge part in our running journeys.

🏃‍♂️ Tell us your story!

How did your dad inspire you to run? Did he take you on your first jog? Encourage you to enter your first race? Set an example through his own love of sport and fitness?

Share your memories, photos, and stories in the comments below and let’s celebrate the fathers and father figures who helped us find our stride.

Happy Father’s Day from everyone at Wistow 10K! 💙

Have you got your Wistow racing trainers yet?

❤️🦌❤️🦌❤️

👟 WHAT TRAINERS ARE WE LOVING 👟

We asked our members one simple question:

🏃 “What’s your favourite running shoe right now and why?”

The responses were brilliant, with runners sharing everything from daily trainers and race-day super shoes to trail favourites and wide-fit lifesavers!

🏆 The most popular brands mentioned were:

🥇 Saucony
🥈 ASICS
🥉 Brooks

Some standout favourites included:
⭐ ASICS Novablast 5
⭐ Saucony Endorphin Speed & Pro
⭐ Brooks Ghost
⭐ Saucony Guide
⭐ Adidas Evo SL
⭐ Hoka Clifton & Bondi

What matters most to our runners?
✅ Comfort
✅ Cushioning
✅ Reliability
✅ Stability & Support
✅ Speed when it matters
✅ Finding the right fit for YOUR feet

The biggest takeaway from the survey?
💬 There is no single “best” running shoe.
The best shoe is the one that suits your gait, goals, running style and keeps you running injury-free.
Many members also highlighted the value of getting a professional gait analysis before investing in a new pair.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and shared their recommendations. Whether you’re chasing a PB, training for your first 5K, tackling trails or preparing for an ultra, it’s clear that the right shoes can make all the difference.

🍫 Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

Pre-run snack, race-day fuel, or guaranteed stomach disaster?

Who’s tried chocolate-covered coffee beans before or during a run?

Did they give you wings or leave you searching for the nearest hedge? 🤣
