Martin runs 10k, marathons and the odd fell race. He started running marathons in 2000 and has continued to complete one every year since, including the Great Ocean Road Marathon whilst he was in Australia in 2008. He joined Harrogate Harriers in 2005, and since then has also competed in the Original Mountain Marathon in couple of times. Most recently he has competed in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks race and the Edinburgh marathon in a new PB of 3:24. He absolutely loves his Garmin Forerunner 305 which is invaluable during marathon training.
Jess runs for Gateshead, was selected for Yorkshire to run in the Inter-Copunties XC, and is preparing for the Great North Run, then the XC season.
Favorite kit: Mizuno Inspires, Nike Compression socks for racing, Groundhog socks for off road, Sportsjock sport bras, Shot Blox, and her Buff!

Steve is a runner with Otley AC, works out with kettlebells, and is a personal trainer.

Out & About
The Candlelighters Fun Run had around 350 people running mainly 18's and under with parents, friends and family joining in, a real mixture. There were bouncy castles (ace!!), old police cars, fire brigade, parents five a-side football, of course the race, and plenty of food and drink!! All proceeds of the race went to the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation charity.
Latest: the sponsorship money is still coming in, but the charity has already benefited by more than £5,000 from this event!

Our staff are testing kit all the time - check out their reviews below, and of course there's always expert advice available in store ...
Nike+ Sports Band
Review by Steve: If you want something that's small, easy to use and looks great, you NEED to get this. It tells you distance, calories, stopwatch and pace, using footpod technology. As well as brilliant online features, you can set up challenges with people all over the world. To get the most out of it the best thing to do is calibrate the band with your own running style. Accuracy is not amazing but at £40 pounds you can not beat it!
Helly Hansen Frost Hoody
Review by Rebecca: Lightweight HH Lifa, and surprisingly warm hoody! Amazing as an over layer in colder weather, but also comfortable enough to wear by itself as a single layer in milder conditions.
Skins compression (long tight)
Review by Laura: Love them, not sure how much of it is in my head but my legs feel renewed when I have them on they have done wonders for my calfs. And the staff at Up & Running were very helpful.
Ronhill Pink High Viz Jacket
Review by Lucy: Very lightweight and also provides a bit more warmth and visibility when on the road. It is compatible with the Vizion L.E.D. and the pink is a bit more feminine than the traditional yellow. I'm very happy with it.
Helly Hansen E-lite shell
Review by Tim: Love this awesome shell in black and wear it or carry it along on bike outings! I've crashed wearing it and not a tear - tough material, even though it's paper thin!
