I am not at all clued up on most sports gear, but I came to Runners Need looking for inspiration for my New Year resolution. Yes that old chestnut: exercise.
Although the shop is pretty small, they stock quite a selection of mens and women's clothes and running shoes. Brands such as Gore, Sportjock and New Balance are to be found, whilst all of their clothes involve some kind of specialised high-tech designs to make running more comfortable and well (I'm hoping) more successful. Or was that easy... eh hem.
There are also lots of accessories including bags, light weight drinking flasks, heart rate and distance/speed monitors, insoles and supports on offer. I was particularly interested in the number of protein mixtures and intriguing supplements they sold and the staff were brilliant on advising which might benefit a novice like me. Mmmmmm food. Oh sorry, special performance enhancing work-out snacks.
I left the shop fully kitted up and ready to get running looking like a neon tic-tac. Job done. read more
