New Shoes

Went to Colchester a couple of days ago. On the way I passed through Chelmsford which had a big part in where I am now.

Got fitted for some custom Luck shoes which I hope will help sort out the pains I get in my right foot. After years of boas I decided to go back to old school laces hoping they will result in less pinch points

Shop was here

and ended up having an interesting chat with the owner, an ex pro, whose dad, an ex Belgian champ,

helped Eddie Merckx during his early days as a pro.

Also ended up doing an impromptu training session on the Tacx software which was great fun. 

Interestingly one thing I heard was the importance of pedaling correctly. I've always thought this but it was nice to hear it from a good source. One idea I had not heard before was that of training with especially heavy pedals, which I may try giving a go at some point
