The Run Experience

Ok, so I’m going to start with a recommendation for some quick and accessible YouTube videos by The Run Experience. These short videos cover a whole host of running related topics from nutrition and warm-up to technique and training plans. They are pitched just right - enough info so you feel like you are actually getting some expert knowledge but not full of jargon or aimed only at elite athletes. Go and check them out.

So many shoes, so little time...

Ok, so buying running shoes can be a tricky business. If you are lucky enough to have a great independent running shop nearby then support them.

So I’ve decided that instead I am going to talk to you, because you like running, right? No, seriously if you don’t like running then you’d better briskly walk off at this point because we are going to lace up those shoes and hit the road to explore all things running. The thoughts in this blog are mine as an individual and sadly I’m not getting paid or anything!
