Thinking of coming up to London on the 28th Nov to watch a football match & also pop over to Olympia for the running show.Is this a annual event & if so is it worth a visit, or is it just the same as the VLM expo?
It's a new event. Organised by the same people who do the annual Triathlon show down in Sandown Park. The tri show's usually pretty good so hopefully this will be too. RW are doing a BOGOF offer on tickets apparently - didn't know that till I'd bought mine! £9 in advance or £12 on the day. Will try and dig out the web link for you Cougie.
FF, RW are doing a BOGOF offer as I mentioned earlier. I've not had the email yet but have seen it in my boss's inbox. Will get the link/code for you later
Just had another read. You need to subscribe to RW's regular emails. Alternatively msg me and I'll see if I can forward the email to you - that should work.
Two for One Ticket OfferRunner's World has teamed up with the London Running Show organisers to offer two tickets for the price of one. Buy one ticket in advance at www.runningshow.co.uk or when you arrive at the show. Print and hand a copy of this email to show reception and collect your second ticket free!
I fancy going but i can't see it being any different/better than the expo. After all, i think the expo covers just about everything on running (& it's free) but for £9.00 it still might be worth a visit.
We're all thinking about improving our training and race day performance, but just how do you do it?
We've all probably gone through extreme diets, bizarre warm up routines and bought expensive equipment to no real effect.
But, your luck is in if you're off to the Running Show at Olympia in London.Dr Garry Palmer will be on hand for 15-minute sessions, where you can put your questions and issues to the expert. He's the man behind Sportstest, a leading scientific coaching and testing company.
The Doc was asked to see what sort of things he regularly helps people with, to improve their performance."I'm going to be offering a Q&A. Pre-booked visitors will come to me with your issue, and I will try to give you a solution.
The kind of examples I get are:
'This is how much time I have in the week, what are my ideal training sessions?
I was thinking about buying a GPS watch, but they are pretty costly, how will it help me out?
How on earth do I shift my body fat...I don’t seem to be eating anything as it is...and I just can't shift it?
These are the events I am planning to do, how do I best structure my year?'
Due to time constraints, I won't be able to test, but I can offer a coaching and nutritional consultation during the session," said Palmer.

Can anyone forward me a copy of the BOGOF deal for the running show? I have deleted mine by mistake and would love to be able to take my partner with me.
I enjoyed the show yesterday. Agree it was small(probably not worth £9 - more like a fiver) but there was some good stuff there. "Luckily" for me there was no cash point so I couldn't overspend. Would love one of those running skirts and might buy one online after Christmas.
They are. I've been looking at the website for ages as know quite a few people who rave about them but didn't want to spend that sort of money without checking out the sizes. Was very tempted to get a cammo one as well as a plain one but resisted the temptation!
Agree £9 was a rip off - took all of 5 mins to look around. Some of the seminars were OK but didn't really tell you anything new. The 'improve your running technique' session on Sunday was basically just an advert for the Running School. Luckily I live pretty close - would have been sorely disappointed if I'd made the effort to travel a long distance!
Really poor show I thought. I was in and out within 20mins with no really good in-show offers on kit - I could have bought all the kit online for similar prices or less. Will not be going back again.
I did like the Sci-Fi Collectors Show next door though - a right bunch of 'fruit bats', grown men dressed as clingons, ghostbusters and Stargate soldiers. Classic!

Any links ?
If you're doing VLM - I'd prob not bother with this.
Seems cut down version of the Expo ? No Adidas, Nike, Saucony, Lucozade ?
As the expo is free - I dont think I'd pay for this. And anyway I'm 200 miles away.
I doubt I'd travel far tbh but it's only t'other side of London for me

Thanks guys
If you haven't already been , don't bother.
I feel fleeced paying £18 for my wife and myself to visit.
Apart from Midgie Thompson's seminar which my wife wanted to see the rest took all of 15 minutes to look at.
I've been wanting one of those for ages and now have one
Really poor show I thought. I was in and out within 20mins with no really good in-show offers on kit - I could have bought all the kit online for similar prices or less. Will not be going back again.

running show not even worth printing off the BOGOF voucher
let hope the TCR in feb does not go the same way.
do we really need the ruuning show as TCR covers it all and more
poor show from the organisers
