Fast Forward Running Shop
FAST FORWARD RUNNING IS A SHOP DEDICATED TO ONE PARTICULAR SPORT: RUNNING…..
The dedicated store, is situated in
Wote Street,
Basingstoke and is owned by running enthusiasts Bob and Sandra Chatterton.
Fast Forward Running stocks major brands of running shoes, apparel and accessories including Nike, Mizuno, Inov8, Brooks, Asics, Zoot, Salomon, Saucony and New Balance. Running shoes are very different from ordinary trainers, being lighter and designed specifically for the demands of the individual. Different disciplines such as road and trail running require a certain type of shoe, while track and cross country runners use spikes.Bob and his team are well qualified to advise anyone from novices to experienced club runners on the type of shoe and other equipment they need.
Bob has been running for over 30 years and gained a taste for extreme training while in the Airborne forces. His personal enthusiasm is off-road trail running and he regularly competes at any distance up to ultra marathons; events which are held over longer distances than the conventional marathon.
Shop manager, Pete Williams is also a vastly experienced runner, competing for a local club the Overton Harriers. The other members of staff are enthusiastic runners and they are all product trained by the manufacturers of the brands they sell. “Fast Forward Running " is a shop for runners of all abilities, staffed by runners.
This level of experience means that customers are guaranteed expert and enthusiastic advice. Staff can carry out ‘gait analysis’, using the shop’s treadmill linked to a slow-motion camera and computer system to determine a runners gait and foot strike. The video playback will show you what type of runner you are: you could be an overpronator, a neutral runner or a supinator. But whatever you are - there will be the ideal shoe for you.
As well as running shoes, Fast Forward Running stocks a varied selection of clothing and accessories. From base layers which help keep the wearer warm, to cushioned running socks, hydration and day packs and GPS enabled heart rate monitors, the shop stocks a vast array of running equipment from big name brands.
So whether you’re an experienced runner or a novice, Fast Forward Running is your local centre for everything to do with running.

|  Superior performance, incredible design – ASICS training shoes For over 50 years, ASICS has continued to build upon its reputation of outstanding design. Over time, ASICS training shoes have become an essential for amateur and professional athletes all over the world. From its research centre in Kobe, Japan, ASICS running shoes are created by working incredibly closely with sports scientists and athletes. This has led to a series of scientific innovations that have given sportsmen and women the edge. Through this research and collaboration, ASICS scientific achievements feature some of the greatest innovations in sportswear for the modern age. ASICS training shoes incorporate a series of design features, an EVA midsole. The benefit of this particular specification is that EVA (Ethylene vinyl acetate) is incredibly lightweight. This reduces fatigue, while losing nothing in support. The EVA midsole is also breathable, ensuring your comfort for extended periods of running. Another great innovation for the ASICS training shoes is the inclusion of ASICS Gel. This special silicon based gel creates a highly effective cushion for your feet. Sections of gel are placed in strategic places with the midsole. This gives the foot optimum shock absorption, spread over the key contact points of the foot. ASICS training shoes have a whole host of extra features that have been geared to get the best out of your running performance. Comfort, support and design culminate in providing you with the perfect footwear for events and training. See the selection of ASICS training shoes available from Fast Forward Running today. | |
