I have been lucky enough to be given a new Endolite running specific blade that is in the development stage. It is of the C blade stile but has a foot plate for added stability, the leg is brilliant. You get so much energy back from the leg and it's very smooth, I did think the foot plate might not work very well but it is very well thought out. The lower part of the blade is also split down the middle which helps so much not just on conering but also when on uneaven ground! It is only in the development stage but they have made a pretty awesome leg.
I haven't been particularly well since I got it so have had to take it a bit easy but have done a 5K run which took 20:44 and a 10K that took 43:45. Both post amputation PB runs so it is very promising for my triathlon and paratriathlon season next year!
It's been a pretty stressful couple of weeks with not feeling well and having assignments to get in at university but heard some good news today! There is a paratriathlon talent ID weekend taking place at the beginning of February at loughborough, for anyone interested: http://www.britishtriathlon.org/news/british_triathlon_search_for_future_paralympic_talent_2642 .
