Get Marathon Ready With Intersport Elverys

Written by

You can get very attached to your running shoes, but with the Dublin marathon just around the corner, it might mean that it’s time for a new pair. When you’re choosing a new pair of shoes, your pronation level is one of the most important aspects to think about, but you shouldn’t forget the fit of the shoe, your speed, weight, running style and preparation. To ensure you’re ready for the race with the right running gear, call in-store at Intersport Elverys to talk to our expert running staff where we have our hugely popular Footbalance service.

Some marathon runners are just looking to complete the course – others are targeting a time. Depending on your goals, you’ll need a different shoe. To check out our HUGE range of running footwear, for the expert or the novice, click here -> http://bit.ly/2rksY0W

 

ASICS – 60 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

To help with choosing the right shoe, Asics are offering you a risk-free opportunity to try ASICS footwear for 60 days so you can try ASICS footwear for a period of at least 30 days and let you feel the difference their footwear provides.

If you buy any pair of Asics runners, online or in-store, we will refund consumers who have purchased and have been testing ASICS footwear for a minimum of 30, and up to a maximum of 60 days. Consumers who are not 100% satisfied with their choice during this period will be eligible for a refund on their purchase.

To be eligible for the ASICS’s 60 days Money Back Guarantee, you must have bought ASICS footwear between 1st September and 31st October. From there, you can register your dissatisfaction and be refunded via ASICS 60 days Money Back Guarantee website.

The Final VHI WMM Update

Written by

Our VHI Women’s Mini Marathon ambassador Hayley Coleman gives us her final training update before the big day on June 5th. Hayley, a professional make-up Artist is no stranger to the Mini Marathon, having completed it last year, calling it ‘one of the most amazing experiences’

After months of preparation, she is nearing the end of her training and is intent on besting her time from last year. Her personal goal this time around is to hit 10k in the 50’s and we have no doubt that she can do it! With less then a week to go, we sat down with the Westport native to see how she has been getting on.

“My training is pretty much done and I cannot believe at how far I have come in the few months.’‘ Along with her busy schedule Hayley’s training consisted off 2/3 5k runs a week along with strength and circuit classes. As well as the training plan Hayley also signed up for a few local races to help with her preparation and helps build confidence.

Hayley explains ‘I try to combine this with strength and circuit classes, just to change things up and give me myself a bit of variety.’ Having this variety helps keep the training interesting and Hayley also gives some advice to any new runners or any ladies taking part in the mini marathon.

‘Pick a spot up ahead and run to that spot and if you have to stop do, but only for a short while. The clock is still ticking.’

Hayley went on to add: “If you feel like you are lacking the motivation it’s important to push through and you will feel the benefit from it. It was important for me in preparing not to deprive myself as you want to enjoy my training; moderation and balance are key.”

Hayley also gives praise to her local Intersport Elverys, who were always on hand to help out ‘I have to make a big shout-out to all the staff in my local store, they have been great; always on hand to give me advice on what the best footwear is and what clothing is appropriate for my training.’

With the Mini-Marathon a few days week away Hayley’s last minute advice is ‘I am going to take it easy this week maybe a few gym sessions and eat well and sleep well as that is so important.’

So ladies, don’t forget to visit Elverys.ie or pop into your local store for any expert advice or last minute needs for the big day.

Best of Luck to Hayley and all the ladies who are taking part on the 5th of June. Enjoy your day!

VHI WOMEN’S MINI MARATHON – THE DAY IS HERE!

Written by

Hayley Coleman is one of the most sought after make-up artists in the country and will this year be running the VHI WMM for the first time. Elverysblog.com has been following her progress as she gears up the run on Monday June 6th.

We caught up with our Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon ambassador Hayley Coleman over the weekend as she geared herself up for her first Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon as the big day finally arrives.

Hayley has been hard at work getting herself race ready over the last number of months but she did meet a bit of bother recently as injury threatened to sideline her from the race. However, as she explains, she eased the pain with rest and recuperation.

“For the last two weeks I was carrying an injury in my lower back and it held me back a small bit so I have been doing smaller amounts. I’ve just been trying to keep myself ticking over without injuring myself further. I took a few days off because it got to a stage where it was very sore but the last week it improved and I was able to get back doing small amounts, just making sure I am ready for the race.

I’m feeling great now though and hopefully I’ll be able to do it in an ok time. The last week was just about getting myself as ready as I can before I run so it’s been good.”

The beautiful weather the country has experienced recently was a world away from the rainy conditions of when Hayley and thousands of others set out on their preparation for the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon 2016 and that presents its own difficulties she said – albeit nicer ones!

“It’s quiet hard running in the heat – you have to make sure you’re well hydrated. I find anyway I can get dehydrated quickly but I make sure to take plenty of water on board before. It is nice though to run when it’s dry without wind and rain battering your face!”

“I normally don’t run with a water bottle anyway, I make sure I’m hydrated before my runs and on Monday there will be water stations along the way as well if I’m feeling like I need to get some water on board.”

It’s been a long road since Hayley started out but she admits that the fun element of the race has allowed her to work her training around her life and work.

“I was away last weekend so that threw my training a bit, but it allowed me not to start focusing too much on the race either. At the end of the day it’s not a competition, and you don’t want to start worrying about it. I’ve been as good as I can but I have allowed myself a few treats – you have to enjoy it all as well. I won’t go out over the weekend though , that would completely ruin me,” she laughed, before adding, “but I’ll be as good as I can and get as much rest as possible.”

Already looking ahead to this evening and her recovery after the event Hayley sung the praises of her foam roller once again – and advised her fellow runners to get their hands on one if they can. She also emphasised the importance of a proper warm-up ahead of today’s race.

“The foam roller I’m living on at the moment! With my back and glutes I need to use that before and after training. Sometimes I wasn’t warming up enough so that’s something that I’ll certainly make sure I do before the race is warm-up properly! It’s one thing I’d say to everyone doing the race, don’t start without a warm-up, it could be the difference between you finishing today or not. But certainly the foam roller has really helped. It’s great and it’s something I know I’ll be using on Monday night!!”

Elverys Intersport wishes everyone taking part in today’s Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon all the very best of luck on this wonderful occasion!

VHI WMM – WHAT TO WEAR!

Written by

It is almost time to put all the training of the last number of months into practise at the Vhi Women’s Mini- Marathon. But before you do, you get the chance to double check you are really race day ready. The coming days are your final opportunity to grab last minute accessories and apparel you may need. Not only can Elverys expert staff offer you advice but they can provide free services that will help you to make the most informed and appropriate choice.

Remember if there is something missing from your active wardrobe, fix it sooner, not later. You have trained hard enough to be entitled to enjoy the experience in both comfort and style.

Treat your feet right

No two feet are the same so when you pop into Elverys Intersport make sure to talk to our Fitness Experts about Gait analysis which will allow our staff recommend footwear to best suit your individual needs for free. We also offer foot assessment and customised insole moulding from Footbalance. These insoles are 100% custom-fit, with individual moulds made of each foot. They can provide support and added comfort during any activity.

Elverys have a range of technical socks with a variety of features to suit all – padded, seam-free, odour treated, compression, ventilated or braced arches. Elverys also carry the very popular  Hilly-1000 Mile-Pro Touch Running socks that help to reduce the likelihood of blisters. Moisture wicking technology in the range helps to keep your feet dry and cool.

Don’t compromise

Chaffing, pains, discomfort, sagging breasts, embarrassment – why put yourself through it when you really don’t have to? Exercising without a sports bra or in the wrong size sports bra can be highly distracting and ultimately affect your training. With only skin and tissue in the breasts you cannot re-shape or tone the area once damaged. It is irreversible. Elverys carry the Shock Absorber sports bras, which has been research proven to reduce bounce and subsequently protect the breast and its supporting structures. Exercise in confidence, comfort and style after you have a free sports bra fitting. Staff will be on hand at all registration days to provide advice and sizing.

Add to this the brilliant EVB range of sportswear for women and you will be secure and ready to take on the world.

ProTouch, the exclusive to Intersport range, is designed with all ladies in mind – every shape, size, height and fit can be catered for. Let our friendly and helpful staff find what best suits your activity, style and shape. Not only stylish but practical too – the ProTouch range of t-shirts, tights & Capri pants offers smart features including moisture wicking fabrics, anti-chafe flat seams, high waist bands and feminine designs. With the Nike Dri-Fit Essentials and Asics Running Apparel ranges also available in store, there is no shortage of fashion friendly and practical clothing on offer for race day.

Weather dependent

With weather never a certainty (despite the glorious last few days, you just never know on the day!) it is important to always cover every possibility. A lightweight rain jacket with breathable vents should be a staple in every active ladies wardrobe – the ProTouch Madeline (in race day pink!) is an ideal jacket that isn’t too heavy should the sun break through. A baselayer or undergarment will ensure temperature regulation and may provide some compression also. Compression elements provide increased blood flow improving performance and aiding recovery – like the 2XU range which looks stylish as well as  helping you stay injury free. By keeping temperature stable and staying dry you are protecting your body against not only the elements but sickness also.

Accessorize your ensemble

Accessories are always important as well and with our Ultimate Performance Waterbottles, Nike headbands, hats and sweat bands to keep hair off your face, shade eyes from the sun or just give a sporty look to your outfit we have every detail taken care of. Add in our lightweight media armband to secure your musical accompaniment and you’re all set!

Best of luck to everyone involved in Monday’s Vhi Mini Marathon, looking forward to see you all at the finish line!!
