Five ways to squeeze extra value from your daily jog
JOGGING might seem like the ultimate free sport – just lace up your trainers and go.
But the cost of proper running shoes alone is enough to make anyone sweat.
Squeeze extra value from your run with a dash to grab these savvy ideas.

HUNT DOWN DEALS: Seek out sales and find deals at outlet stores on shoes and clothing. Adidas’ summer sale has 40 per cent off its Run It shorts, down from £28 to £16.80.
Kalenji Run Support women’s trainers, for those who do up to 10km a week, are down from £34.99 to £19.99 at Decathlon.
DON’T RUN ERRANDS: Don’t use the shoes you run in for everyday wear.
Using them at other times reduces their lifespan, so you will end up spending more on a fresh pair.
Experts reckon you should buy new running shoes every 500 miles.
After that, wear your retired runners any time.
