#OnTrackNights London Night of the 10K PBs, a yearly event that brings together passers-by and running enthusiasts alike. A day running festival that gets faster year on year with some of the most elite athletes racing
FPRC had the pleasure to go down and watch the day’s events unfold with On Running and it was safe to say we weren’t left disappointed! With a host of family centric activities, food & drink and track side tunnels which lit up the races as the day progressed into night. The Night of the 10k PBs was fast, furious, and energetic as ever!
Hosted at Hampstead Heath Athletics Track, runners were almost levitating round the bends with the first race of the day finishing in a staggering 31:06:10.
As the night the sun came down the Mens and Women’s British Olympic Qualifiers began. A spectacular performance from Megan Keith punched in her ticket to the Paris Olympics, speeding across the finish line with a time of 31:03.02. Whilst the mens race was comfortably won by Mohammed Ismael finishing his race with 27:22.38.
Congratulations to all the athletes that took part. A great day for running and we look forward to next year!
Here’s a roundup of what went down.
New year, new you…?
Maybe that new you is to hit the streets racking up the miles, we’re talking about running by the way! At Footpatrol, we pride ourselves on delivering the latest footwear in any category and we love to see the latest and greatest in running technology come to light.
With the boundaries of what’s possible in running being pushed each year it seems, we take a look at the latest colour ways on offer from Nike’s Running department. For their latest offering of the Air Zoom Alphafly & Tempo NEXT%, each is coated in an eye-catching ‘Barely Volt’ that brings a vintage runner feel to these futuristic looking silhouettes.
When you think of the Alphafly NEXT%, you can almost think of it as the brother to the already well known Vaporfly NEXT%. Both being Nikes premium racers, the Alphafly took things up another gear with the addition of two Zoom Air pods sitting underneath the forefoot whilst still incorporating the Carbon plate. It was also a prototype edition of the Alphafly NEXT% that helped Eliud Kipchoge beat the 2 hour time barrier for a marathon…
Whereas you can save the above two for race day, the Tempo NEXT% on the other hand is the perfect training shoe. Built for those who want to experience a faster shoe and build up to a race, the Tempo NEXT% is a great shoe to grab for your daily runs. To cause less stress on the legs, both of the fits utilise a Carbon Plate and two Zoom Air Pods however the Tempo NEXT% opts for a less rigid plate allowing for the foot to build strength whilst training. If this combination of propulsion wasn’t enough though, both are packed with ZoomX foam for ultimate cushioning.
Both styles are now available to shop online at Footpatrol here!
