Don't tell me it doesn't happen to you. September always comes with that mix of nostalgia and renewed energy. After a summer in which you've probably committed some excesses (I have) but you've also been able to disconnect, getting back to the routine can become a challenge, especially if it's about resuming your running training. It's okay, it's normal to feel a little lazy, and even, that the body takes its toll on us the first days after the vacations. However, a good feeling from the first training session is the key to overcoming procrastination and maintaining consistency.

At RUNNEA, we know that starting again, little by little and with the right running shoes, can help you maintain your motivation and adherence to training. It's been proven that running in comfortable, well-cushioned, soft-touch but protected shoes enhances the experience and promotes a better state of mind. So, let's get that mood up! Let's go for that month of September with gusto, and to help you out, here are the 10 most comfortable shoes to get you back to running.
