I find that strange as well! And now she’s got Nuttyfoodiefitness doing the same - they both plug those shoes when anyone asks for a recommendation which annoys me, as they’re not an everyday trainer and not suitable for everyone! Lucy claims she doesn’t get on with any other shoes but I think all she’s tried is one pair of Hokas?

Looking at that Asics events from last week with those freaks ben is running, carlabuysfollowers and creepyash_runs looks like a rank evening! All these weird and damn awful instagram cronies being invited makes me never want to buy anything Asics again. They will never influence me to buy anything, not that they are influencers
the application for the asics marvellous team is going to open soon XD in case any of you are interested, hahahahaha
I still can’t understand why Carla gets invited to anything. Her Instagram is pretty dead and doesn’t offer much value, unless you want to learn how to start your 738th “come back”
I don’t follow her but just had a look at her profile, and I thought the same thing re. her reel about running slow to run fast…and then she slips into a pair of Nikes designed for fast running?!
I went to watch the video as I’ve never watched Lucy Davis and the bloody shoes 
not a good sign. I’m guessing she’s never tried much other than Nike, if her only other running shoe attempt was Hokas that’s hardly trying variety to know Nike suits best. I’ve tried quite a few brands and I like Hoka trail shoes but the road shoes felt really strange to me. She’s also going to say Gymshark do the best running clothes when they sponsor her 
my saggy old lady boobs need a bit of strapping down and I like pockets on my leggings. I’m mostly just a bit jealous of these super strong young women though because I’m middle aged and not gifted athletically and couldn’t do one push up my trainers don’t have blood on them though

Haha exactly! And wtf is it with her leg post and throwing her head back with a fake staged grin/smile? She's just so cringe and desperate to be in with them. I just wish she'd stop and you never see her promoting or showing her apparent PT business, she's just tragic
I agree, I like Hoka trail shoes but not their road shoes. For some reason lots of gym influencers seem to be obsessed with Hokas now, I’m not sure why. I reckon a standard running brand like Brooks or Asics wasn’t flash enough for her so she’s kept to the Nikes. Every video of herself running, you can hear her stomping around like she’s wearing flippersI went to watch the video as I’ve never watched Lucy Davis and the bloody shoes
The shoes must be way too small for her, with the amount of blisters and blood she seems to get. It’s frustrating that she perpetuates this as normal, instead of just going to a running shop and trying loads of different models until she finds one that doesn’t cause pain! If a shoe fits well, there’s no reason that should happen on some bog standard training run.
I also hate the “I have small boobs, I don’t need a supportive bra for cardio” nonsense. They’ve shown that your ligaments can get stretched out overtime regardless of breast size, so it’s a silly thing to go on about. Why not just wear an appropriate running bra?
could be that she's used to have a size for her gym shoes, and may need a bigger one for running. As simple as thatI agree, I like Hoka trail shoes but not their road shoes.

I just feel it goes to show why no one should be paying her for running advice if she can’t even get that right
Yeah it could just be half a size up would do it. I’ve only ever had one blister running and it started in regular shoes then got worse running, it wasn’t my running shoes. I know some people are more prone but the blood on her trainers just yikes.
I wear half a size up in runners. I got blisters for every run when I did C25K the first time. Extra half size makes all the difference. I wish more brands did a wider fit too.
As with everything, what works/fits for some, won’t work/fit for everyone. And I still believe that the Nike obsession will start to change as more people get injured, especially now some people are wearing alpha/vaporfly for every single run (not even going there with sustainability and environmental impact of how many shoes they must go through). I really like Hoka for most runs and have Saucony race shoes. Firm believer in trying everything in the shop and going with what feels best (not how it looks or in fashion or magic shoe). As for the blood - it’s not exactly a good advert for Nike either!I agree, I like Hoka trail shoes but not their road shoes.

So Sarah made this list (and some other instabores) I’ve not looked at all of them but I’m not feeling inspired
I need your help (I hope this is allowed because I’ve looked everywhere and am at a loss): I’m seeking the perfect marathon running tights. They need to have two side pockets as minimum, preferably come in black, full length (possibly crop but not 7/8), and preferably high rise. And not extortionate. Can any women help?
Two side pockets is a bit unusual, but I loved Fusion tri tights for that reason. I wore them for all my triathlon training for 4 years (including 3 IMs) and they held up quite well. They do a running pair now which might work for you: https://multisportdistribution.co.uk/products/c3-long-tight
I really like my lululemon fast and free which meet all your criteria, I think! I have the cropped version but I think they do 25’. Expensive but I’ve had mine for about 5 years, wash at least once a week and they’re still fine except for a bit of the the stitching is starting to come apart. Downsides is that the fabric is thin (so maybe not ideal for winter if you run cold).
I’m a big fan of these Salomon ones, and they have two side pockets (but no other pockets): https://www.salomon.com/en-gb/shop-emea/product/cross-run-25-lc11702.html#color=73021
If Lululemon are a bit out of budget at the moment there’s a brand on Amazon that is a fantastic dupe - CRZY YOGA
Also with lululemon, they can tailor them to the length you want.
Crzy yoga is also a good one as well
