No, I tend to just wear one type of shoe at a time. My running shoes needed to be replaced, I liked Brooks and I'm a neutral runner ~ these ones fitted my foot/gait profiling. The have a little bit more cushioning towards the front as I tend to land on the front of the feet (I have naturally taught myself to lean forwards by around 10 degrees when I run).
Having said that I do wear a different shoe for trail/offroad running, I have been using The North Face 'Hyasa' for the last couple of years and I have a couple of identical pairs that I rotate between.
It's a great trail shoe and offers much better grip than previous brands I have used.

Legs are feeling surprisingly fine after yesterdays effort. Just fueling up before I head out on my long run for this week, depending on how I feel will probably be somewhere between 20-30km.
Just knocked up a nice little salad with some mixed salad greens, carrot, capsicum, kale and drizzled some mango & chili dressing over it

I'm also changing my diet slightly as well, I am going to be fasting for at least one day out of each week and see how that affects my training. I love the concept of it and the health benefits it brings, not to mention the energy I derive from intelligently fasting throughout the course of the day.
Some things I am implementing from tomorrow:
** First thing every morning ~ cup of warm water, 1/2 squeezed lemon, aloe juice & apple cider vinegar. This will replace my morning coffee
** No breakfast
** Lunch will be based around a salad depending on hunger, energy requirements etc
** Juicing every day ~ carrot, apple, pomegranate, kale, goji and ginger will be the main ones for these next few weeks
** More snacks through the day, increased vegetable & fruit intake
** Final meal(s) before 7pm
** Bed by 10pm

First day nearly done and feeling great. I had a carrot, apple, pomegranate, kale, goji and ginger juice about 12pm and that's carried me through until the late afternoon.
For dinner I'm just going to mix up a packet of quinoa rice I found at our local supermarket with a freshly made kale salad, avocado and a yellow & red lentil curry I made up yesterday. Hoping to get out for a quick run for an hour or so later on after the kids are in bed, that's if the rain doesn't get any heavier

Just heading out for a morning run before work after having a few days off training.
Diet has been going well and I am feeling great as a result of juicing every day. Treated myself yesterday to a nice vege quaesadilla from a local restaurant that knows me well, they happily cater to all of my dietary requirements and look after me well. They know I like spicy foods so this time the chef made me up a hot salsa sauce with some jalapenos on the side ~ damn fine stuff
