Our Dulwich running shop has a great range of running shoes, running clothing, and accessories.
And our friendly, well-trained staff can provide expert advice on running shoe fit using Dartfish software for gait analysis.
Robert is a Personal Trainer and a keen runner, running for the Belgrave Harriers on the road at distances of 5k to half marathon and cross country during the winter off season stepping onto the competetive format of track racing at distances of 400 metres to 1500 metres in the summer. Robert has been Personal Training for 6 years and is on hand to give any training and nutritional advice and having run with Belgrave for 5 years has a vast knowlege on running issues at all distances up to full marathon.
David has worked at Dulwich for almost four years and so has a wealth of experience and knowledge despite his young age.
Sport and fitness and allways been important with David training in a variety of different sports including track cycling, weight training and ju-jitsu martial arts.
Running shoes with the right cushioning and support for you will make training and racing easier.
Take the guesswork out of buying your next pair - a few minutes on the treadmill and the help of our
knowledgable staff is all it takes. (Please bring along your current running shoes for comparison.)
In-store Events
Swiss Ball
Having used a Swiss Ball over the years to enhance my abdominal and core strength, I have found it gives me that little bit extra in races where I
have started to wain and tire in the past. A strong core makes for a better engine. Exercising on the Swiss Ball develops your abdominal muscles,
stabilises your lower back as well as improving posture. Using the Swiss Ball ensures that exercises are concentrated on core areas such as abdominals
but is also great for toning and conditioning. It’s portable, easy to store, versatile, pretty cheap and can easily be used and stored in the house.
Also, using the Swiss Ball can really help prevent back injuries by strengthening this area.
SIS Energy Gels
SIS gels are great when you are reaching that point when your legs get heavy and start to slow and you just want to stop running.
What makes them even better is the fact that they taste great. None of that horrible after taste, or sickly feeling of swallowing a load of sticky sugar
and the need to guzzle down a load of water to wash down the gel. Each Go Gel has 9 grams of sodium and 22 grams of carbohydrate (only 1 gram of which consists of sugars) –
essentially an isotonic solution that is easily portable in serving-sized sachet form. Overall, I was impressed with how the SIS gel range was so easy to ingest –
whether in warm or cool weather - and how light it was on the stomach even under the fatigue resulting from exercising for long periods of time.
