Mimi obviosily doesnt look into things very closely before he…she…or it makes outlandish claims. Constantine, I find your information intriguing and your patience for brain dead people like Mimi amazing. Take care.

Comment on Blisters and Marathon running by David Murphy

I appear to have a blood blister on top of my toe although not enough to pierce it and get fluid out, in addition my toe is bruised – i am training for the london marathon and have done 223 miles in 3 weeks.

I wondered what is the best thing to put on it to heel? I have used blister plasters from a running shop to date.

Thank you

Comment on Making Marathon Eco Friendly by jonathan

This is big in the UK at the moment.

A recent TV documentary showed a half marathon with 9,000 runners using 62,000 bottles of water.

The reporter showed some discarded bottles had been opened and just a very small amount taken out.

How long before mass participation sports comes under scrutiny?

Hi Constantine,
The best way for small stores to fight big stores is to give good service.

In th UK, the high streets are dominated by several large chain sports shops. These mainly sell sports fashion/soccer clothing at discount prices.

They do have small sections of “running gear”. In truth though, this is aimed at people who think spending £££’s on gear is a substitute for hard work and dedication.

Sales assistants know virtually nothing about running (or anything much…)

We go to a small independent store which specialises in running and athletics. They give you full attention, actually know what they are talking about and we have recommended them to a couple of family members.

They also sponsor the junior athletics club our kids go to and I guess that a dozen large stores could open on their doorsteps with troubling them.

We think that everything has a price and so I may pay a couple of £more but I have had better service.

Ken, if every runner did what you say, the shops will close and runners will have no where to try the shoe.

Am wondering what is the best way for a small shop to fight a big store?

Another possibility is to try the shoes on in the store and then buy online where you might find even better deals.
