The Green Runners

Earth is now heating up twice as fast as in previous decades Since 2014, the planet has been warming by about 0.36°C per decade, according to an analysis of five temperature datasets, raising fears that climate tipping points could be crossed earlier than expected

3/3 Common theme: Runners want tougher uppers over lighter shoes. Shoes to last.

Good news: Many runners repair/patch shoes to reach 1000s kms.

Shoes do not need to be ditched, they can be fixed.

Love the shoes you own.

2/3 👍🏻 Good: NNormal, VJ, La Sportiva, Mount to Coast, Hylo Athletic, a few Scott models, Brooks. Many runners reporting ~1000–2000 km.

⚖️ Mixed reviews: Inov8, Hoka, Altra, Salomon.

👎 Poor: Merrell, Scott (other than a couple of models)

1/3 - Great responses to our question. 🙏🏻💚

Considerable variation within brands, some seem to be getting better, others getting worse. Makes it difficult for runners to make the right choice.

What follows is a summary of the replies. 👇🏻

Hi ChatGPT, show me what green running looks like.

Sunshine & a Green Runners badge 💚

Definitely a great way to spend a Saturday morning!

Love this ❤️💚👇🏻

I hear you. Uppers splitting is a common cause for complaint. We shouldn’t have to, but patches & needle & thread can sort most problems with the uppers.

Pair-ups certainly help keep shoes on the trail!

Loving the comments to this post. Will produce a summary post this weekend.

Keep on adding to the thread in the post below 🙏🏻

And on the flip side, which brands & models have treated you well (talking 1,000km plus)?

Out on a group run yesterday. Talk on the trails kept returning to durability of trainers, or lack of. 👟

Many complaining of only getting a couple hundred kms out of their shoes before problems arise.

This isn’t good enough. We need daps that last.

What brands & models should people avoid?

What would you give for a 600km run for our river? - Wild About The Erme River If you ask WATER’s Deputy Chair and Farming Lead, 40 year old John Mildmay-White, the answer seems to be, ten days. That’s how long it will take him

Running for our rivers.

John Mildmay-White is running 600km over 10 days to raise funds for Wild About The Erme.

The funds will enable their scientifically-qualified all-volunteer team to undertake the testing needed to identify the types, and potentially the sources, of pollution of the R Erme.

As football fans, why should we care about climate change?
Matches in the top league of Scotland called off due to prolonged rain, with it set to increase over the coming years.
Celtic’s form isn’t good, but rescheduled games isn’t going help us the state we are in. #celticfc #climatechange
