Introducing the new Glycerin Max 3

Same height. Softer, lighter foam.

Brooks haven’t added a millimetre of cushioning this time. It’s still 45mm at the heel and 39mm at the forefoot.

What’s changed is the foam. The new DNA Rise Tuned is softer, bouncier and about 15% lighter than the foam in the Max 2. You get the same big, rolling ride, just with a bit more life in it.

It’s a neutral shoe, so it suits people who don’t need extra support. It’s good for long easy runs and recovery days, or for anyone who simply wants as much comfort underfoot as they can get.

Good luck to everyone running in the today. A tad misty but that just adds to the fun.

Gosport Half Marathon will soon be here, Sunday 15th November. It was great we could support all the helpers, marshalls and organisers today so they could run the race and not miss out. Such a great idea. Hope everyone had fun. The weather was perfect

A slightly different post from us today. This one isn’t about running.

This is Rebel, our nine-month-old shop dog, who many of you will have met in store. He’s recently been diagnosed with a heart condition he was born with, and without surgery at the Royal Veterinary College he isn’t expected to reach his second birthday.

The operation costs around £25,000 and isn’t covered by insurance, so we have set up a GoFundMe. Every penny goes towards his treatment, and anything left over will be donated to the Royal Veterinary College’s charity.

We know not everyone is in a position to give right now, and that’s completely fine. Sharing this helps just as much.

Thank you, from Rebel and from all of us at Alexandra Sports.

Get £72 OFF the Brooks Glycerin Max 2.

If you haven’t come across it, the Glycerin Max 2 is one of the most cushioned shoes Brooks make. It has a deep, soft midsole and a curved, rocking shape that helps you roll smoothly from heel to toe.

It’s popular with people doing long, steady runs, and with walkers and anyone on their feet for hours who wants as much softness underfoot as possible.

Don't hang around through - while stocks last

The clocks go back this Sunday, which means most of us will be running in the dark by teatime.

A proper running jacket isn’t just a coat you can run in. Here’s what actually makes the difference:

- Breathability. You warm up within the first mile. A jacket that can’t let heat and sweat out will soak you from the inside, even on a dry night.

- Waterproof or water-resistant. Fully waterproof keeps out heavy rain but runs warmer. For most runs in drizzle and wind, a lighter water-resistant shell is often the more comfortable choice.

- Reflective detailing. Reflective strips on the arms and back catch car headlights as you move, so drivers see you sooner on dark roads.

- A dropped back hem. It sits lower at the back to keep your lower back covered when you lean into your stride.

- Lightweight and packable. When you get too warm, it folds into a pocket or ties round your waist without weighing you down.

- Secure zipped pockets. Keys, phone and a gel stay put without bouncing.
