What running trainers should you buy? 👟
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Your feet, running, goals and injury history all matter.
🟢 Neutral: ASICS Novablast 6, Saucony Ride 19, Brooks Ghost 18 or Gel-Nimbus 28.
🔵 Stability: Saucony Guide 19, ASICS GT-2000 14, Gel-Kayano 33 or Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25.
I personally swear by the Saucony Guide 19 for everyday running.
🦶 Got plantar fasciitis or Achilles pain? The right shoe becomes even more individual.
⚡ And carbon shoes? Great for racing, but I wouldn’t automatically recommend them for everyday runners, especially if you’re relatively new to running.
For HYROX, I’d prioritise comfort, stability and durability over chasing marginal gains.
Want help figuring out what might suit your running? DM me RUN to find out about gait analysis at Muscle Mender.
Save this for your next trainer shopping trip. 👟
It’s easy to tell yourself you’ll give it another week.
Then another week passes.
And another.
Before you know it, you’re avoiding certain movements, sleeping on the other side, reaching for things differently and just learning to work around the pain.
You don’t have to wait until it gets worse.
A proper assessment can help work out what’s going on, what’s aggravating it and what the best next step might be.
If your shoulder pain isn’t getting any better, book in and let’s take a proper look at it.

A few hundred new followers recently, so I thought it was probably time to introduce myself properly. 👋
I’m Arran, the person behind Muscle Mender.
Most of you probably know me for the sports massage, Shockwave Therapy, rehab, gait analysis, cupping and everything else I get up to in the clinic.
But when I’m not working, you’ll usually find me doing one of these:
🏎️ Watching F1
🔴 Supporting Liverpool
🥊 Boxing
☕ Drinking far too much coffee
🐕 Going away for weekends with Otto, my black Lab
🎬 At the cinema
🏃♂️ Running
🏋️♂️ Or in the gym
Basically, I’m a sports-loving, coffee-drinking, slightly obsessed-with-my-dog Sports Therapist who spends his working week helping people get back to doing the things they enjoy.
So if you’re new here…

And if you’ve been here for a while, you probably already know far too much about me. 😂
