Just a short post to say I managed to get a second hand (but barely used) pair of Nike Juniper Trail 1 for £20 (bargain!) to finally replace my Decathlon Active Grip.

These are cheaper than the cheapest pair of Decathlon running shoes. They are, unsurprisingly, much better than Decathlon - little bit lower to the ground, better mesh covering, softer, better grip, etc. But they are over twice the price (when new) of the Active Grip.

They are also a very good road/trail/dog shoe. The only downside is I doubt I’ll get quite so much distance out of them - the heels are wearing already from walking because of the softer rubber.

Going to try to appreciate them as much as possible whilst I have them though and make sure I get some off-road runs done.
