Ive never "ran a clutch in" nor heard of it to be honest, always drove as normal after fitting them and had no probs.

ive always given it a few miles to let the clutch and flywheel get to know eachother better, but no more than 20-30 miles.

just for my peace of mind but never heard you need to run them in
