Simon is a member of local club Littledown Harriers. He runs all distances from 5k to marathons, particularly enjoying the off road runs in and around the area. Simon also ran with the Hash House Harriers whilst working in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia finding the social side of running as enjoyable as the running itself. This year's Flora London Marathon saw Simon dressed as Paddington Bear (he still ran sub 5 hours!), raising money for Action Medical Research. Simon also enjoys the challenges of Ashtanga Yoga, which he uses to improve core stability, breathing and posture for running. "We hope we generate an informal but professional atmosphere in our store. Using sound product knowledge and experience we are able to assist anyone in achieving their running goals. We've all been beginners and know how intimidating it is to go into a "specialist" shop but here we allay those fears by understanding our customers' needs. Pop in anytime, the kettle's always hot and there's even a chance of a Jaffa cake." |

Some local runs ...Even in the merging towns of Bournemouth and Poole there are plenty of places to run. Runs along the prom between Sandbanks and Hengistbury Head are ever popular in the area. There are routes that can be taken along the River Stour pathway which give the impression of running in the countryside and can be incorporated into a long or short run to offer a variation from the streets. For those longer Sunday runs why not exploit the natural beauty of the Purbecks which have a mixture of challenging hills and spectacular scenery on cleary worn walking routes. |
