Dark evenings are creeping in, but that doesn’t mean your running routine has to take a back seat!

Whether you’re heading out for an after-work 5K, an early morning session or your weekly run club, a few small changes can make a BIG difference 💛

✨ BE SAFE, BE SEEN – Reflective kit and bright colours help you stand out when the light fades.

🔦 LIGHT THE WAY – From chest lights to rechargeable armbands, make sure you can see where you’re going (and others can see you!).

👟 SAFETY IN NUMBERS – Running is better together! Find your running people, stick to well-lit routes and keep each other motivated through the colder months.

Because winter miles still count, and the best running routines don’t stop when the sun goes down. 💪

Need to get winter-run ready? Pop into Running Bear in Alderley Edge, Nantwich or Didsbury and we’ll help you find the right kit to keep you moving.

Save this for your next dark evening run! 🔖

READY TO SPUNCH?

Our next Spunch is coming to Running Bear Alderley Edge! 👀

📅 Wednesday 21st October
📍 Running Bear Alderley Edge
⏱️ Choose your challenge: 60, 90 or 180 minutes

The aim is simple: get out there and collect as many checkpoints as you can before your time is up! 🗺️🏃‍♀️

Run it, walk it, jog it — it’s completely up to you. And you can take on the challenge solo, as a pair or as a team.

No pressure, no set pace, just a fun way to get out, explore and see how many checkpoints you can bag. 👀

Think you can collect them all? 🐻

EVERYTHING that’s changed with the NEW adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5! 👀👇

This isn’t just a colourway update. adidas has made some BIG changes to its flagship racing shoe, and here’s everything you need to know!

🔥 1. GOODBYE ENERGYRODS, HELLO ENERGYRIM

The biggest change of them all! adidas has ditched its signature carbon ENERGYRODS in favour of an all-new carbon-infused ENERGYRIM. This runs around the midsole rather than directly beneath the foot, allowing more foam underfoot while maintaining stiffness and propulsion.

⚡ 2. UPDATED LIGHTSTRIKE PRO FOAM

A reformulated LIGHTSTRIKE PRO midsole delivers a more responsive, spring-loaded ride. The updated construction is designed to improve stability and maximise energy return.

🚀 3. 9% MORE ENERGY RETURN

adidas claims the combination of its new ENERGYRIM and updated foam delivers 9% greater energy return compared to the Adios Pro 4. That’s a pretty big upgrade!

🪶 4. 23G LIGHTER!

Weighing approximately 177g, the Adios Pro 5 is 12% lighter than its predecessor. Less weight on your feet when every second counts.

👟 5. NEW LIGHTLOCK 2.0 UPPER

A redesigned upper with improved lockdown, targeted ventilation and a more secure fit, keeping your foot comfortable and supported at race pace.

🏁 6. RE-ENGINEERED OUTSOLE

An updated LIGHTTRAXION outsole combined with Continental™ rubber delivers lightweight grip and traction without adding unnecessary weight.

💨 THE VERDICT?

Lighter, redesigned and packed with technology inspired by the record-breaking Adios Pro Evo 3, the Adios Pro 5 is a serious contender for your next race day shoe.

🐻 Available at Running Bear!

👇 Adios Pro 4 or Adios Pro 5 — which would you choose?

Today is World Mental Health Day 🩵🧠

A reminder that looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health.

We know that running can be so much more than just chasing PBs, ticking off miles or crossing finish lines. Sometimes, it’s about clearing your head, finding a moment of peace, connecting with others or simply getting outside when you need it most🏃‍♀️

But remember, it’s okay to slow down, take a rest day, ask for help or simply not feel your best.

Whether you run for your mind, your body, or a bit of both, we’re proud to be part of a community that supports each other every step of the way.

Keep checking in on yourself and those around you. You never know how much a little kindness can mean. 💚
