Promising British design and manufacture, Revolution Running is a new clothing brand worth checking out.
As well as using hi-tech materials, and design that promotes comfort and performance, the range aims to be fashion-forward, and the first autumn-winter 2012 collection features a palette including block red, purple, black and white, including this purple crop top.
You’ll find both men’s and women’s clothing on the website Revolution Running.
Those who have just started running, or are thinking about starting, often find a goal helps motivate them. For women and girls, what better target than the 5k Race for Life events that take place across the UK this summer in partnership with Tesco?
Race for Life raises funds for the work of Cancer Research UK in tackling over 200 types of cancer, affecting both men and women.
With a choice of over 235 events across the the UK, finding a convenient venue shouldn’t be too hard. Getting a group together for one of the races means you can train together as well as support each other as you complete the distance. And of course, if you’re not ready to run that far yet, walking is fine, too.
A fifth of British workers regularly exercise during their lunch hours, according to a survey for Helly Hansen. While this is positive health news, you might want to spare a thought for many of the exercisers’ colleagues – nearly half of those questioned didn’t bother to shower afterwards.
To keep up your physical activity without offending those who share your office space, what about trying one of these approaches?
