Meet our staff

Gill: Originally a dancer I started running 10 years ago with a 5k Race for Life. I've since done 10 full marathons and 2 Olympic distance triathlons. I also enjoy road cycling and have completed various events such as the Cheshire Cat sportive, Manchester 100 mile and C2C. I hold qualifications in exercise and fitness covering aspects of training and nutrition. Aspirations for the future include the Swiss Alpine Marathon and a half-iron man triathlon.

Laura: Having worked in the Fitness industry since leaving school; I have gained Level 3 Personal Trainer and Leadership in Running Fitness qualifications as well as recently graduating with a BSc Sport and Exercise Science degree. I am currently studying for a Masters degree in Sport Science specialising in Physiology (physiology geek!!) My favourite running distances are 10km and half marathon - with aspirations of completing a full marathon after Uni and I love Asics Kayano!!

Simon - Joined the company in May 2010 and, after a couple of years in the Liverpool store, came to manage the Chester store when it opened in August 2012. He loves a good run to keep his fitness up, normally running between 5k and 10k, but is hoping to do a half marathon or two in 2013.

 

 

 
Gait Analysis

 


It's important that your running shoes fit correctly: our trained staff can help find the right shoes for you: in a short session on our treadmill they can do a video gait analysis using sophisticated Dartfish software.

Find out more about gait analysis at UP & RUNNING.

NB if you would like to enjoy the full benefits of our gait analysis system and shoe-fitting service, please arrive at least half an hour before shop closing time.

Thanks!
