Good luck to all runners at the The Altra Yorkshire Marathon on Sunday! Need any last minute nutrition? We’ve got you covered 🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

14/10/2026

Great to join our friends from Up & Running Harrogate and Otley AC last night for a Merrell try-on night! We’re definitely into headtorch season (and have a great selection in store 😉).

⭐️ STAFF STORIES ⭐️

This week, we’re highlighting our sales assistant Sam! A talented track and cross country runner, Sam has represented Team GB four times. His proudest achievements include 4th place at Under 20s European Cross Country, and making the finals at the Under 20s European champs on the track. He boasts an impressive PB of 3:40 for the 1500m.

Sadly, this year has been marred by a couple of unlucky injuries, but he’s now looking ahead to the 2027 track season.

Shoe of choice: Brooks Ghost Amp

‘I’ve really been enjoying these recently! It’s a comfy shoe for easy runs, but gives you a bit back when you pick up the pace’.

Nutrition: Precision and OTE

‘I tend to use a mix of PF30s and OTE super gels for my sessions and long runs. They sit well on the stomach and work well for me’.

Next week, we’ll introduce another member of the team! 😇

⭐️ STAFF STORIES ⭐️

Everyone here at Up & Running Headingley loves to run, from 800m on the track to long mountain ultra marathons! This week, we’re highlighting Store Manager Pete, who last weekend took on the 7 Valleys Ultra in the Lake District (110km).

‘It was my first time lining up for a 100km+ race in 7 years, so I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. The first half went pretty smooth, and then it was a case of hanging in there and grinding out a finish”.

Shoe of choice: Topo Ultraventure 5

‘Plenty of cushioning, and a nice wide toe box makes this an ideal ultra marathon shoe’.

Socks: Balega Enduro Quarter

‘I’ve been wearing these for years and they’re super reliable. 23 hours on my feet and not a single blister!’.

What’s next?

‘Working on some winter speed! I’ll be lining up at the in January to put it to the test’.

Next week we’ll hear from another member of the U&R Headingley team 🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

07/09/2026

Join us next Monday for a free injury prevention workshop! As training ramps up for Autumn races, and those little aches and pains start to appear, come hear from the experts about how to prevent common running injuries. Includes our usual 5km social run, and a workshop from headingleychiropracticclinic

As always, completely free to attend - everyone welcome ✋
