The Nike Free Experience Event #freeyourrun

The Nike Experience Day

So The Nutritionista was lucky enough to get an invite to the Nike Free Experience day on Saturday. The event itself was held at Victoria House in Bloomsbury, so on Saturday I made my way down around 2:30 to see what it was all about. Once I had signed in and got my wristband (which was very exciting!) I went for an explore, the event was set up in an open plan way with lots of different zones to wonder around and there were also healthy snacks in the form of fresh juices, nuts, goji berry granola cake etc. I went along to one of the many talks throughout the day which was a Q&A with Charlie Dark who is the founder of Run Dem Crew and Steve Cram the Olympic Gold Medalist, this talk covered Steve’s running career, his most memorable race, advice and when he first started working with Nike. It was really fascinating hearing an Olympic athlete talk about his career, I felt inspired to go on a run almost immediately after he started talking. This didn’t happen haha, but the inspiration was there!

The event covered lots of aspects of the Free Runs, some stands even had all the different Free Runs available with a description of each type and how they differ. If you know me well you will know I am slightly Free Run obsessed and starting to build a bit of a collection so I was in my element checking out all the trainers! I also got to get my walk analysed by experts, this was fascinating as the guy who analysed my walk had such a lot of knowledge and we talked for ages about the right trainers for me, where my pressure points were etc. In case you were interested, my main pressure points are my heels, and this could be the cause of my weak ankles. He suggested trying to get trainers with more heel and ankle support, if I wanted to look into this further I could get my run analysed! So this blog post is only a short little one to give you a snapshot of the amazing event I was lucky enough to attend on Saturday, I made sure I took a lot of pictures to share on The Nutritionista.

So thank you for the invite Nike! #freeyourrun

Love the Nutritionista x
