Two things worth knowing about coming up this weekend for runners in Bristol:
First, Brooks are holding a “party” at Up&Running on Saturday. The Brooks rep will be in store from 10am onwards to offer his years of experience and knowledge, try to sell you some shoes, and give you a free goody bag if he succeeds. Fair enough. Up&Running will give you some free socks if you buy any brand of shoes on that day. They are a very experienced bunch at Up&Running, and if you are planning to run anything long in the next few months then now might the time to get some good advice and pick up some shoes in time to wear them in.
Second, is the first RunBristol Training Day of the year, also on Saturday, with nine weeks to go before the Bristol 10k. This will be at Ashton Court and include input from expert coaches and expert physios.
A great day for getting psyched for the 10k.
