Fitness and health experts will be descending on Birmingham this weekend for the UK’s biggest independent running expo, The National Running Show.
The award-winning exhibition will play host to over 250 exhibitors and 27,500 runners from within the fitness industry, whilst over 80 guest speakers including the likes of Olympic gold medallists Linford Christie and Sally Gunnell have been lined up to speak at the two-day event.
We’ve picked out some of our favourite companies that we’re most looking forward to seeing exhibit at this year’s National Running Show.
Bringing a fresh approach to headphone design is Aftershokz. Whilst most brands focus on keeping the sound out and isolating people from background noise, Aftershokz focus on letting the sound in. The revolutionary brand believes in a different vision for the future, a vision that keeps people together not apart.
You know that sound you hear when you’re eating something? Well, that is created by vibration travelling through the bones in your face through to your inner ear.
Using this natural phenomenon to their advantage Aftershokz, have created bone-conducting transducers that guide micro-vibrations through your cheekbones to your inner ears, delivering sound without the ears having to be covered by a headphone set.
Athlete ambassadors include Olympic and European medallist, Eilish Mccolgan and ultra-trail runner, Harry Jones.
