Ania Gabb Personal Training
With over 20 years experience in the fitness industry I’ve seen my fair share of clients and also their injuries. As a runner I love how strong my body has become from teaching different styles of classes from yoga & pilates to boxing and hiit. I love teaching stretch & mobility to pass on my knowledge of how it helps prevent injuries, as well as the importance of cross training for runners. Having good mobility through practicing dynamic stretches can help ensure that all the joints of your body are moving optimally, including running.
My stretch and mobility classes consist of a mix of yoga and pilates moves, as well as basic stretches to help you build a more agile body. I will also be providing ‘marathon training tips’ for anyone running their first marathon or their 100th. Through my own experience, my clients, and knowledge, I can help answer any questions you may have from training plans, to nutrition, and recovery. To follow on I will be teaching ‘Strength for runners’ and demonstrating, in my opinion, the best strength exercises to incorporate into your training that I feel will help you become a stronger and injury free runner.
Stretch and mobility class:
Stretch and Mobility incorporates a mix of yoga, pilates, mobility, flexibility, and gentle stretching. I create a workout that helps you as a runner to move more freely and ease any tightness within the body, including hips, back, and shoulders. As well as mobilising the body, the class focuses on the posterior chain to create a stronger body and core to help ease those problem areas.
Marathon Tips
Whether you’re a complete marathon novice or a pro, we all learn something new. I will be sharing my own personal experiences, clients experiences, and knowledge, from personalised training programs, nutrition, strength, and recovery.
Strength
This class will take you through some simple bodyweight exercises to help you build a stronger body and prevent injury. We’ll dive deep into the importance of single leg work, core, and plyometric training. Available for all levels.
Schedule:
10:00 - 10:20 - Stretch & Mobility for Runners
10:45 - 11:05 - Strength & Core for Runners

Sign up for a live demonstration with Muriel Dempsie followed by some hands-on practice of how to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and use an AED (automated external defibrillator) which will mean you leave the show equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to potentially save a life.
When not running (or skipping) she works as a nurse lecturer. Cardiac care remains her passion and she delivers CPR/defibrillation training to friends and fellow runners overseas as she firmly believes everyone should know what to do in the event of being faced with a person in sudden cardiac arrest. She states ‘equipping every runner with the confidence and skills to save a life can only further enhance what is already a fantastic, positive community’.
A sudden cardiac arrest is a serious emergency and can happen at anytime. Bystanders must act quickly in order to improve the chance of survival. The skills required are quick to learn and easy to do.

Renovate Wellness
Running, especially long distance running is catabolic – it breaks down muscle! Without running specific strength training you will gradually get weaker and injuries will become the norm. Strength and conditioning training is ESSENTIAL to help you avoid injury and run faster, further and stronger and smash your running goals!
Renovate Wellness is a boutique gym set up by physiotherapist and avid runner Nicky Edwards (who is speaking at the show) and her physiotherapist husband to help support runners of all abilities to reach their full potential. Whether that be participating in their first park run, running their first ½ or full marathon, or trying to smash a new PB over a particular distance.
‘Renovate on Demand’ is our brand new online service offering physiotherapist designed exercise videos specifically for runners. Choose from a quick 5min blast to a full 45min workout. There’s a huge variety to choose from such as Pilates, HIIT, Kettle bells, Body Weight Training, Low impact Strength Training, Resistance Band sessions, Flexibility & Stretching sessions, Running Form drills and so much more!
At the show we are hosting FREE mini sessions for you to join in and experience the benefits of ‘renovating’ your body!
Timetable coming soon…
Try out the latest running shoes and see how they perform on the running track.
The Run Café, at the centre of the show, is a great meeting point and the perfect place for a community catch up! Come and meet other visitors while you relax, unwind and refuel with our selection of vegan food and drinks available to buy. Should you wish to purchase non-vegan food and snacks, these will be available towards the back of the show.
Sponsored by Steve Cram Training Camps

The live sessions run across both days to be announced soon.

Chiltern Physiotherapy
Your feet are the foundation for your entire body. Poor foot position can cause pain in your feet, knees, hips and lower back, as well as balance issues and poor posture. So many runners suffer recurrent niggles and injuries that could be prevented by correct foot position and biomechanics.
Specialist custom 3D printed orthotics loved by elite athletes but beneficial for EVERYONE!
Phits 3D printed insoles are the choice of elite athletes such as Lily Partridge, Charlotte Purdue, Aly Dixon, Natasha Cockram, Tom Evans, Ben Connor and Steph Davis.
Orthotic assessment with our expert Phits™ certified physiotherapists includes a gait analysis using a high speed footscan® (force platform) system that monitors the mechanics of your feet to identify any asymmetries or abnormalities, providing detailed information that simply cannot be seen with the human eye. The footscan® technology intuitively translates this dynamic data into the Phits Insole design to complement the expert knowledge of our physiotherapists and your personalised orthotics are then 3D printed to fit your exact requirements.
Whether you are a weekend warrior or an elite athlete, our 3D printed Phits insoles will help your feet adopt the correct foot position, improve your movement efficiency and minimise your risk of injury. They are protected by D3O®, the leading impact protection material, which offers maximal shock absorption, comfort and extreme durability.
Orthotics can reduce pain by relieving pressure from the painful areas. The footscan® (force platform) system highlights where the forces are transmitted through your feet while you are in motion. We are able to see areas of excessive force that can be source of your problems and reduce these forces with orthotics to prevent problems before they even happen.
Orthotics aren’t just beneficial for pain relief, they are widely used as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of injury, minimise fatigue and improve running performance.
No two feet are the same – including yours! Unlike ‘off the shelf’ orthotics, our Phits™ orthotics are specific to each individual foot, and not a ‘generic’ pair.

On 24 July 2024, the Ugandan-born, London-based runner set off from Cape Town with the plan of not stopping until he arrives in the English capital. That’s a distance of more than 9,000 miles, all of which he’s hoping to complete within 381 days, while telling the story of human migration.

Jack Scott is a 29 year old INOV-8 sponsored ultrarunner from Staffordshire. In January 2024 he won The Winter Spine (known as Britain’s Most Brutal Race) in a record breaking time of 72 hours, 55 mins and 5 seconds, smashing the previous record by over ten hours, achieving what most people on the scene thought was impossible. Jack found running at a time in his life where he needed it – when he was in the throes of gambling addiction. He has achieved more in the few short years he has been doing it than most do in a lifetime and is surely one of the sport’s most exciting prospects.
Jasmin Paris is a mother-of-two, long distance fell runner, small animal vet and research scientist, who was launched into the media spotlight in January 2019 when she won the 268-mile Montane Spine race outright, breaking the overall record by 12 hours, and beating her nearest rival by 15 hours.
More recently, Jasmin was once again thrown into the media spotlight in March 2024, when she became the first woman to complete the Barkley Marathon.
Although very active outdoors throughout childhood, it was not until 2008, whilst working for a year as a small animal vet in Glossop that she started fell running. In 2015, Jasmin finished first lady and second overall at the infamous Dragon’s Back race, and the same year she won the British Fellrunning Championship for the first time. In 2016, she gained international recognition by winning the Skyrunning Extreme Series, and the same year she broke records for the three classic UK 24-hour hill challenges. In 2017, Jasmin gave birth to her daughter Rowan. She returned to racing by winning the British Fellrunning Championship in 2018, and thereafter the Spine in 2019. Her second child, Bryn, was born in 2020. Jasmin returned to racing with a win at UTMR in 2021.
In early 2022 she became the first woman in 9 years to complete a fun run (3 loops) at the notorious Barkley Marathons in Tennessee. In 2023 she returned to the event and finished a fun run in time to start a fourth loop but failed to complete that within the time limit.
Jasmin is currently working as a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, where she combines clinical work with research focused on chronic liver diseases in humans and dogs.

Nicky started running in 2001 and quickly moved from road to trails, then the fells. Joining Penistone Footpath Runners & AC in 2002 opened up all the possibilities for her. In 2005 she completed the Bob Graham, a 24 hour challenge in the Lake District of 66 miles and 42 tops, with 28,000’ ascent. Nicky progressed onto the Paddy Buckley Round and the Charlie Ramsay round. Then Nicky looked at 100 mile races and found she could excel at these winning the Grand Raid Pyrenees twice, the Ultra Tour Monta Rosa and coming 11th in UTMB twice. Realising she was getting faster Nicky turned her eye back to the rounds and broke the Ladies Lake District record (an extended BG) adding two peaks and completing 64 Peaks in 23.15 hours. And then went on to break the records on all three British 24 hours rounds with BG 18.06, Paddy 19.02 and Ramsay 19.39 hours. Nicky also got an entry in to the formidable Barkley Marathons and has achieved one loop in 2019 and two loops in 2023. One of her favourite races is the Tor des Geants where she was placed 10th in 2019 and 3rd in 2021.
Nicky retired from farming in Yorkshire in 2022 and now lives in South Ayrshire with her husband and three dogs.

Holly Taylor is the digital editor of Women’s Running and co-host of the Women’s Running podcast, where she shares her running journey as well as the inspiring stories of women runners all over the country. She’s never been the sporty type, but running is the first time she’s felt real joy in getting active. She loves talking about running as well as all the tough questions that come with it, like whether you can watch reality TV while you cross train and how many packets of crisps can fuel a training run. She’s always up for new challenges and for learning new things, and she’s documenting all of it on the podcast.
Laura Swanton- Rouvelin is a specialist radiographer, mother of three and Ultrarunner. Since getting into ultras in 2017, Laura has gone on to become one of the most decorated British women in the sport, winning races including the 100-mile Arc of Attrition, The Autumn 100 and the Devon Coast to Coast. In 2022 she completed the 268-mile Spine race, finishing 4th in just 128 hours.
An incredible athlete, Laura started running in 2008 as a way to regain fitness four months after the birth of her second child. “Back then I could only manage 2 miles and that was a real struggle” says Laura “It became a real headspace thing for me.” Laura trained for her first marathon whilst being a single parent to three children under the age of seven and studying full time at university. “I want to show that the training can be squeezed in if you really want to do it – I would run with the kids in buggy’s, run to work and back– I even went into labour running!” She has gone on to complete (and podium at!) most of the biggest ultra-events in the UK and is a member of the Mudcrew Ultra team.
I started running at University in 2018, after talking to a friend and us both wondering if we could run 5k in one go. It turned out we could (just about), but we then set ourselves the challenge of getting our time down from 45 minutes to 25, which we did! 4 years later and I’ve stepped up from 5k to 10 and beyond, completing my first marathon in October 2021, and then going on to complete my first ultra at Thailand by UTMB in December 2021. I’ve definitely caught the ultra bug now and have lots more races on my bucket list for the future! I love running because no matter how hard it feels or how long or short the run is, it is guaranteed to put me in a better mood and clear my head. Running has given me the escape I need when life gets hectic and it somehow never gets boring, even after 11 hours out on the mountains, there is fun to be had!

Jody Raynsford is presenter of the award-winning Bad Boy Running podcast and accidental (#notacult) leader to its community of self-confessed running misfits.
Jody stumbled into being running journalist after completing the Marathon des Sables in 2011 having only completed his first marathon a couple of years earlier during his first mid-life crisis. He forged a reputation for taking on the challenges no other journalist would want.
As a result, he’s gone on to compete in more than 100 gloriously varied running challenges from 100-mile races to multi-stage ultras to obstacle course races and far more beer and alcohol-related races than is probably healthy. He is currently training to complete an Ironman triathlon (sadly).
At the National Running Show South, Jody and David from Bad Boy Running will be hosting the Ultra Zone supported by their team of Do-Badders, bringing a suitable vibe of mediocrity as a counterpoint to all the elite talent on show.

Anna’s a familiar face amongst the running community, as she heads up The Running Channel on YouTube – an online space for runners of all abilities to learn about running and be entertained by running-related challenges, as well as hear about all the latest gear launches. She’s no stranger to races from 5ks right up to multi-stage ultras. Basically, once an idea has been put into her head to do with running, she does it. Like the time her colleagues suggested she run a marathon in her mum’s 20 metre long back garden. That was a LOT of laps!

Named one of the greatest runners of all time, Scott Jurek has claimed victories in nearly all of ultrarunning’s elite trail and road events including: the historic 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and—his signature race—the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won a record seven straight times.
Scott has also taken the running world by storm with his 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record, averaging nearly 50 miles a day over 46 days — and the United States all-surface record in the 24-Hour Run with 165.7 miles: 6.5 marathons in one day.
Off the trail, Scott is also a New York Times-bestselling author for his memoir Eat & Run.
Allie Bailey is an ultrarunner, coach, author, speaker and podcaster who has run in some of the most extreme places in the world. She was the first woman to run 100 miles across frozen Lake Khövsgöl in Mongolia and to run the full length of the Panama Canal. She has crossed the inhospitable Namib Desert three times, run the length of the Outer Hebrides and completed a 1,000-mile off-road version of the classic Land’s End to John o’Groats route in just thirty days. In 2023 she won the inaugural Wild Horse 200 and is an inov-8 sponsored athlete. Allie has finished over 200 marathons and ultramarathons all over the world, but the most remarkable thing about all of these achievements is that she accomplished most of them while battling depression and alcoholism.
After a seismic mental health crisis in 2021, Allie finally admitted to herself and those around her that she was an alcoholic and started her recovery. She left behind a dream career with major record labels and adventure companies and now works as a coach with a broad range of runners and endurance athletes, helping them unlock their full potential. In 2022, she was named as one of the most inspiring female adventurers in the UK by The Guardian, and she has appeared on numerous mainstream TV programmes including The One Show and Lorraine.
Allie released her first book “There is No Wall” in February 2024 to huge critical acclaim. The running based misery memoir went on to become and instant Amazon bestseller and Allie followed it up with a 16 date speaking tour, selling out theatres across the UK. She currently lives in Yorkshire with her rescue dog, Pickle.
