'If you want to get away with one set of shoes then consider one that is good for gripping terrain and displacing water. A shoe that protects against rain and yet is also breathable for warmer days will also be advantageous.'
Would you recommend wearing different shoes for longer distances?
'Of course, long-distance shoes are designed for the rigors of running for longer periods of time. This means they will help minimise the impact on your joints over and over again.'
How can Cotswold Outdoor help?
'We stock a wide range of shoes ranging from fast road-racing shoes, right through to long-distance trail shoes. If you are thinking of taking your running to the next level it would be a good idea to head into a store and seek advice on what type of shoe would be best for you. This provides you with access to the knowledge of our staff, and also expertise in fitting. They are trained across all types of footwear, including boots.'
