Training for a spring half or full marathon in 2026? So many of our community are too so we thought we’d help you get your long run miles in. Starting this coming Sunday and going every three weeks, ATR Sunday Long Run will be happening alongside our usual weekly Tuesday 5K social run. We’ll start as one group but there’ll be two different distances to help you build towards either a half or full marathon in 2026. ATR Sunday Long Run: 1️⃣ Sun 11th Jan 8:30am (half marathon 10K/6Mi & full marathon 16K/10Mi) 2️⃣ Sun 1st Feb 8:30am (half marathon 13K/8Mi & full marathon 19K/12Mi) 3️⃣ Sun 22nd Feb 8:00am (half marathon 16K/10Mi & full marathon 26K/16Mi) 4️⃣ Sun 15th Mar 7:30am (half marathon 19K/12Mi & full marathon 29K/18Mi) 5️⃣ Sun 5th Apr 7:00am (half marathon 21K/13Mi & full marathon 32K/20Mi) PS. Stay tuned for our marathon workshop dates released soon 👀

Opening a running store has been something we have been thinking of doing for a while, but the timing never felt right. In January 2024 we decided to stop wondering ‘what if’ and officially register the business. We spent the summer of 2024 trying the find the perfect space for our new store in Kingston. After a long wait, we finally received the keys to our new home in November 2024 and started work. In December 2024 our dream store started to look real and we were on the finishing stretch of opening our doors. In January 2025, we finally opened our doors to Kingston. We ate so excited about this next chapter and can’t wait to welcome you into our new space in Kingston. Thank you for everyone who has helped bring our dream store to life and supported us over the opening weekend🤍

Stickers, PBs & Demos. Where illustration meets running. ✏️🤝🏃‍♂️ - Here’s a process reel behind the stickers I made for the About the Run, Hoka demo night. - The evening was a big smash. 70 people, 2 dogs and a scarecrow. Beers, pizza & running. What a dream. I even won an umbrella ☂️ - Thanks @about.the.run @hoka_eu and @pickledjhon for the enjoyable evening and forgive me for crowbar-ing in a bit about my 5k pb attempt into this reel, I have an out of control egocentric compulsion to let everyone know, but jokes aside I’m damn proud of that time - 19.25 🏆

Running Workshop in Kingston - June 1st This workshop is designed to introduce runners to a variety of advanced training protocols, to help improve their running performance. It dives deep into mobility training, introducing a variety of tools to help maintain strong healthy joints and avoid overuse injuries. It will also include some foundational strength work, explaining how to patiently build strength step by step, without detracting from your running regime. I’ll be running two workshops back to back, one at 6:00pm, and again at 7:30pm. If you’re a runner and fancy taking your skills to the next level, go to the booking page on my website, and I’ll see you there. #brooksmovement #runningworkshop #running #strength #mobility

We’ll be blasting all your favourite Christmas tunes from our party speakers to keep you moving. 🎶 So dust off those Santa hats, grab your sparkly antlers and come join us for Kingston’s Reindeer Run! ❤️ This is a free run, but we would love a small donation to the hospital. #ReindeerRun #KingstonRunning #KingstonHospital #FestiveRun #RunForFun #CommunityRun #ChristmasRun #Running #RunnersOfInstagram #RunHappy #RunLife #Instarunners #RunForFun #RunMotivation #RunEveryDay #Runstagram #RunnersHigh #RunCommunity #5K #10K #HalfMarathon #MarathonTraining #TrailRunning #RoadRunning #MorningRun #EveningRun #SweatLife #RunAddict #MilesAndSmiles #KeepRunning
