Easy Runner - Bristol's Specialist Running Shoe Shop

As always, ever so many thanks to our customers keeping us busy this week. As usual, we've welcomed runners of all ages, from the gentleman retiring from teaching planning to make running a big part of his retirement, to the young lady already a whizz in badminton and pilates adding running to her activities. Thanks for your purchases, we look forward to more of the same from 10am tomorrow.

Did you see Sara Cox’s documentary this week? She ran and walked 135 miles in five days for Children in Need, saying, “I am representing the women out there over 50”. We couldn’t agree more! At Easy Runner we are here for anyone wishing to start or continue their running journey as well as helping people choose footwear to walk in, like the lady trekking through a Malaysian forest as part of Chapman’s Challenge. We’d like to thank her and all other customers this week for choosing us for the shoes to achieve their goals. We can’t wait to see you again from 10am tomorrow.

A huge total for Sara’s Challenge! Thank you so much for all of your donations! 🧡
Watch Sara Cox: Every Step of the Way for Children in Need tonight at 8pm on BBC One or anytime on BBC iPlayer for the full story of Sara’s epic challenge. 🧡

Happy birthday for tomorrow to 2012 Olympics long jump gold medal winner Greg Rutherford. Many thanks to all our wonderful customers braving the rain last week - it was fantastic to serve you. We look forward to more of the same from 10am tomorrow.

Lest we forget.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Runners dressed as Pitbull for a 5k in Manchester! Like you do...

Why yes, that IS a Pitbull-themed run taking over the streets of Manchester, thanks so much for asking. 🤣 The Dale Dash was organised by the legends at Slow Run Club ahead of the big 24 run in a few weeks.

We've had a wonderful time serving customers old and new this week - thank you for your purchases, we hope you enjoy your running. We're having an extra hour snoozing tomorrow morning but open the doors again at 10am on Monday for more of the same - provided we remember to put the clocks back!

Very well done to all two-legged and four-legged competitors in yesterday's Man versus Horse on the Quantocks - the equines won! (Unsurprisingly.) Thanks as ever to all our two-legged customers last week - you were legends! (Even if you only had two of each...) We are open from 10am tomorrow for people and their four-legged friends (of the canine variety.)

Horses and runners compete in Quantock Hills challenge More than 100 runners tried to beat 54 horses in a 23 mile race across Somerset.
