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.

|  Newton Gravity – the science of superior running Packed with great features that will give you more, supporting every step of your run, is the Newton Gravity trainer. These innovative ideas have made the Newton Gravity shoes the first choice for many sportsmen and women. Newton Gravity trainers feature a range of developments to improve performance, which is based on the Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law Of Motion. By understanding the natural movement of the foot, A Newton Gravity shoe is built around the idea that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The result is a shoe that works with you to replicate running barefoot. This Action/Reaction Technology works around your natural running movement. While this may seem a simple task, there are several innovations that have been incorporated to these exceptional running shoes. Within the shoe's midsole, there are four external actuator lugs that are pushed into hollow chambers. This part of the shoe handles the action part of your running, acting as the perfect shock absorber as your foot contacts with the ground. The energy stored within the actuator lugs is released as you move forward, bursting through to give you back the power you pushed into the shoe. This propels you forward in a natural way, working differently to many other kinds of running shoe. The technology used in Newton Gravity trainers have been proven to give a more effective response that many gel or foam midsole shoes. With this smart technology, you will find that you will be able to run faster and for longer periods. The Newton Gravity shoe acts as though you were running barefoot, but with added structure and support. This means that fatigue, or the danger of injury, is reduced while recovery time is improved. See this range of smart men's and women's Newton Gravity trainers in stock at Fast Forward Running. | |
