Had enough of this heat yet? 🥵☀️
Careful what you wish for…
This is Yorkshire. Give it a few weeks and we’ll all be running through horizontal rain wondering where summer went. 😂🌧️
Enjoy it while it lasts!

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.
