3 stretches you should be doing before every run 🏃‍♂️

Theo from .wellness stopped by to show us his go-to dynamic warm-up routine.

Dynamic movement before a run keeps your muscles loose, your body prepared, and your injury risk lower. Get these done before you head out the door.

Big thanks to Theo for coming in and showing us how it’s done 🙌

Want more running tips, expert advice, or a full gait analysis? Come into the store or book a run consultation via link in bio.

Ever tried Topo running shoes?

With their foot-shaped toe box, Topo shoes give your toes room to spread naturally while providing a secure fit through the midfoot and heel. Many runners find them noticeably more comfortable than traditional running shoes.

If you’re curious to experience the difference for yourself, come along to our usual social run this Wednesday at 6:00 pm and take a pair for a test run. We’d love to see you there!

Dave came in today looking for running shoes to help him prepare for his upcoming half marathon. Born with a club foot on his right side and then fitted with a rod in his left leg following a car accident, finding the right support was especially important.

After trying a few options, a pair of Brooks Glycerin GTS completely transformed his gait and provided the stability and comfort he needed. Wow! What a difference? 🤯

Wishing you the very best in your next race, Dave—we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 🏃‍♂️👏

Go Penny! 🤩

Penny Jarvis didn’t start running until later in life , and her first attempt lasted just a few minutes. 🏃‍♀️

Inspired by her son, who took up running after a serious asthma attack and went on to complete the London Marathon, Penny decided to try the distance herself. At the time, she was working a demanding NHS job, raising five sons and fitting in training wherever she could, often by running home from work.

Now 75, she’s proof that running doesn’t have to start young, look perfect or fit neatly into your schedule.
