Scottish Gas 5 & 10k road races
For anyone not familiar with Brooks Trainers, the product description for the Glycerine is:
Full length DNA cushioning and whole host of features for Brooks’ top of the range neutral cushioned shoe.
Loved by neutral runners for its smooth ride and comfort, now with improved cushioning. This new Glycerin now has a Full-length DNATM which provides each individual runner with custom, personalised cushioning in the three key anatomical areas toes, midfoot and heel. The design of this shoe has been changed slightly. Starting with the flex grooves – The shoe gives the runner a stable upright footing and flexibility whist running to ensure a softer foot-to-ground first contact. This updated version is 32 grams lighter than its predecessor, with a midsole area that is denser in the larger shoe sizes. Another change form the previous model is that the material of the arch saddle has been refined to create a shoe that can more effectively adjust to the shape and movement of your body.
For the Silence Trainer:
This is the shoe for the runner wanting a lightweight running shoe, suitable for racing. Made with the environment in mind in cool colours. This shoe has been designed to be extremely ‘eco-friendly’ in its design. A very green and sustainable shoe for the keen racer. This shoe uses soy based inks and recycled materials including the innovative ‘BioMogo sole’. A very fast and lightweight shoe for the competition runner. When it comes to sustainability, it’s time for running gear to lead the way, not follow. With Brooks’s usual passion, they has embraced this challenge. The result is the Green Silence, a ground breaking advance in running shoes that will not be kept quiet.
For Lot 2, the holiday cottage at Logierait, the available dates can be viewed on the website http://www.cottages4you.co.uk then enter reference number 19767, but dates are also available January – March if required.
