I got these Nike running trainers about a year ago from JJB before it closed down in Norwich. They were about £60 and exactly what I needed for the gym. I know that I should probably be thinking of investing in a new pair sometime soon but I’d like to get a really good pair so I’m saving up for now. If I’m totally honest, these ones still seem ok and do a good job for the running machine and cross-training so I don’t mind waiting a little while.
I recently joined a new gym and I’m slowly getting back into the swing of a routine. Its taken a while (since the 47 mile walk) to fully start enjoying the gym and not having to worry about pains and aches. I have some recurring injuries which is a bit annoying but they seem to ease up with swimming.
I’ve been trying to go and run or cross-train during my lunch breaks from work and then if I have time in the evenings I’ll get at least one swim in each week (that failed last week though). I’d like to start swimming twice a week as I find it really enjoyable and it’s a good all over workout.
Do you go to the gym? If so, I’d be interested to know what trainers you use.

Those look perfectly fine. If you’re looking for another affordable model, for a casual gym user the New Balance 410 is pretty good. They’re lightweight, nylon and I’ve picked up two pairs on ebay for £25 each. I wear those and some Nike Free Run but those are quite a bit more. I got them at a discount outlet.
