I had a really annoying run today with gear issues.

The first time I wore the HOKA Challenger ATR 6 they caused some ankle pain and I thought I’d fixed it by lacing them with the racer’s loop.

I’ve run over 100 miles in them since then and haven’t had any problems. For some reason I didn’t lace them properly today and had to stop three times to adjust them.

Other than that, it was lovely out on the hills and there were lots of people about enjoying them.

I bumped into a couple of trail runners on Craig yr Allt and had a good chat along the summit.
