Not always the biggest fan of Up and Running, but got the kind of service I usually expect from an independent (can't remember the guy's name sadly) and I am pleased with my new shoes. A choice of 3 major motion control options seems fair enough to me! I also had a video gait analysis, which was fairly useless in terms of choosing shoes (it showed some over-pronation) but I did discover some excessive (and probably new) turning in of my left foot, which I think may be accounting for some recent achilles pain, so that was unexpectedly helpful. Thumbs up for Up and Running in Keswick.

There is also some running stuff in the outdoor shop round beside the library in Keswick (just up from Booths) sorry don't know the name of the street. Been going there for years and still don't know the names of streets. Anyway, glad up and running were helpful!
