The Nottingham Up & Running team aim to provide a friendly and knowledgeable service for everyone from beginners to experienced runners. Our aim is to provide the right advice and product so the customer can achieve their chosen running or fitness goals, whatever they may be. Rob the Store Manager has worked in specialist sports retail for many years. A keen runner himself, Rob has many years experience of fitting technical footwear, and specialist running equipment and is always happy to help you choose the right product for your training needs. Ali works on Saturdays. She started competing at the age of 11 swimming for Oxfordshire and North Bucks. Running was always part of her training routine, and she made a logical progression into biathlons, triathlons and running half marathons. Kev started running in January 2000 having done very little fitness wise since leaving school. From running ten minutes to start, he gradually increased his distance until he was running 5 miles on a regular basis. That July he joined a local running club and has never looked back. He has now taken part in numerous 5k, 10k, 5 Mile and Half Marathon Road Races including many trail and fell races, and successfully completed the London Marathon in 2009 in 4 hours 25 minutes. We'd also like to welcome new members of staff Michael and James - more info on them soon.

Saucony Ride 2, £75
I spent a long time trying on various different makes and models before going for the 'Ride".
It was a tough decision as there are so many nice shoes in the store.
In the end, as the 'Ride' was so comfortable, I went for this one. Salomon XA Pro, £90A trail shoe with some excellent cushioning. Skins Half TightThe Skins range has been designed specifically as compression garments to improve sporting performance. Research studies suggest it can have the following effects: Increase venous return, reduce post exercise muscle soreness, remove lactic acid faster and regulate body temperature - to name a few of the potential scientific benefits. OMM 25L Pack
"Having never run with a specific lght weight pack before, I found the OMM 25L to be just what i was looking for. With a lean weight of just over 500g
and a capacity of 25l, this pack is ideal for 'a day away', whether it is running/cycling to work or walking in the hills. It is the attention to detail
that makes this pack great. The back padding doubles as a sit mat and the chest strap doubles as an emergency whistle (hopefully never needed!).

Local RunsOne of our favourite runs is through Wilford, along the River to Trent Bridge then back along Wilford Lane and through Compton Acres. Roughly 10k this route is lovely when the sun is shining. The route starts under Clifton bridge along the path to Wilford Village, through the Village, across the Bridge by The Ferry, turn right and along the Trent. For a shorter run you can cross over the Suspension Bridge or for a bit more distance use Trent Bridge and go right onto Wilford Lane. There are options coming back as you could use the path by the river or Wilford lane. The route finishes back where you started.
