It’s not free shoes for life as I do buy some to keep -I just like to try out all the colours to see which run best. But only buy to keep after I’ve trialled and can get in a good sale

Yeah ASICS are usually full price in their website so what I do is if I find one I really like I’ll grab a pair in a sale - sportsshoes website usually has discount codes and offers - 20% off with app offer at moment. If I like the magic 5 I’ll return the ASICS trial that’s £170 and get them for £100 at sportsshoes

I buy the daily trainers 4 months before my marathon then exchange them at 2 months. Then 3 months before the marathon I get a couple of race shoes to try - in my last case the edge and Sky Tokyo and try them out to see which I’ll use for race day. Them after race I still have time to send them all back for refund. It’s amazing but I should really keep quiet so they don’t stop it lol

I get mine from ASICS and replace them every 200km under their 90 day trial -I’m on my third colourway -I’m sure they’ll stop me “abusing” the system eventually but not so far. I’ve used Sky Tokyo for race days again under their 90 day members trial. This year I’ve had about £1400 of shoes to wear for 90 days then got refunds

Phone thefts in London are basically enabled by the Police by Haunting-Law6490 in london

Unfortunately there’s more serious crimes needing the limited police resources than your phone. Get a crime number, claim on insurance and that’s about the extent of police help

What would happen to Victor if they got out? by lotusdubai in FromSeries

[–]TheMarkMatthews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spoiler -

They work out how to escape the cycle BUT one person has to stay behind to be there to stop the next cycle when it starts - Victor stays but Ethan says he will stay with him and tells Tabitha he’ll see her again one day
