We have watched thousands of customers running up and down outside the shop over the years — and on Sunday we got to see thousands more taking on the race.
One thing that always stands out is just how many different running styles and gaits there are.
Some runners glide. Some shuffle. Some heel strike. Some land further forward. Some overpronate. Some don’t.
The point is… there’s no single “perfect” running style — and there’s definitely no one shoe that works for everyone.
A 5K is around 6,000 steps.
A marathon can be 50,000+.
That’s a lot of time spent in shoes that either work with your running style… or against it.
If you’re unsure what shoe is right for you, pop into Yorkshire Runner and we’ll help you find the right fit for your running.

Whether it was your first race, a PB, getting round with friends, or simply making it to the finish line — every story matters.
If Sunday inspired you to get back into running, train for a new challenge, or just get outdoors a bit more, pop in and have a chat with us at Yorkshire Runner
We’re always happy to help with advice, gait analysis, kit, or just talking running.

I ran for decades in the same model of shoe.
Every time they wore out, I’d just get the latest version of that same shoe
No questions asked.
But over time everything else had changed:
• The way I run
• The speed I run
• My body
• What I want from running
Yet I was still in the same shoes.
It made me stop and think…
why would something that suited me 20 years ago still be right today?
Shoes evolve. Runners evolve.
The best shoe for you now might not be the one it once was...
At Yorkshire Runner, we offer gait analysis and in-store fitting so you can try different options and find what really works for you.
Open from 9:30 Saturday — come and see us.
