Welcome to The Running Bookshop!

This first blog will outline a little bit more about 'The Running Bookshop', who we are as a business, and what we look to achieve with this company. We'll also give you some previews of what to expect from this blog. 

Are you a keen runner who has ever gone into a bookshop looking for something to read about your favourite topic? Following the signs for 'SPORT', you will head towards the back of the shop From there, you will scan the sub-genres - seeing plenty of books on football, golf and F1. Perhaps in the very corner you will find 'Running' or 'Other / Running', upon which there will be 3-4 titles for you to pick from in a bookshop of thousands. 

The alternative of course, is to buy from Amazon. Whilst this offers a wide variety of options, it comes with its own set of consumer concerns. It doesn't exactly feel good to order from Amazon.  

As a result, The Running Bookshop has been set up. It will be a small, independent bookseller obsessed with books about running. It will offer a great variety of books, from children's books, memoirs to training manuals, many of which are uncommon to regular readers, all at a competitive price point. It will also give back to running through events, charitable donations and generating its own community. 

You'll always be able to shop The Running Bookshop online, a permanent destination for your new read, gift for a friend or browse of the latest running books. We'll also be appearing at your favourite running races and other pop-up events for an in-person experience and to connect with your fellow running book lovers.

On this blog, we'll be writing regularly about our favourite topics - books about running. This will include book reviews, interviews with authors, and latest news about the bookshop. Please add your email to the subscription link in the footer to make sure you stay up to date with everything we post.

We look forward to sharing more with you soon, and happy running!
