Runners Need

Today was the first time I’ve made a purchase in runners need and it certainly won’t be the last i was greeted by a guy called John who was so helpful and made me feel really Welcome in the Camden branch .
I’ve always ordered my running trainers online mainly to save money but as I’ve got a place in this years London marathon i thought it would be best if I spoke to a professional .
my legs was checked over and I was able to run on a treadmill so I could really get the feel for the trainers I was going purchase i really didn’t feel any pressure or in a rush to make a purchase today but I’m so glad I did .
Many thanks john and runners need for all your help .

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.

A really great sport shop.
One of five branches in London, this shop is great for every sportsman, woman or youth. A seasoned runner, a novice cyclist or a fields player.
Runnersneed is the sort of shop where you don’t just walk in, look around and maybe buy something, it’s the kind of place where you can have a great discussion about your needs and preferences.
This sort of store should be able to measure if you have pronation or supernation, advise you about any therapy and therapists if you suffer an injry or have a weakness.
This is the kind of sports store I trust and look for, because it knows things about the body that I might not!
If you cycle, please wear a helmet!
