This weekend I was really excited about going to the London Running Show!
New letters began to filter through into my email account regarding all the things that were taking place and how the first 1000 guests were to receive a goody bag! Listing Brands a long list of brands! I remember thinking I want that goody bag!
A friend had said that she had been to the show last year and wasn't overly impressed, I ignored her feedback! I wish I hadn't now! I could have really done with a lie in!
So on Sunday morning I was outside Olympia at 9.20, the first 5! I could see Sacouny, shock absorber and Mizuno stands! Looking forward to see what other stands were hidden away!
The first disappointment was that the doors didn't open at 10, it was slightly past! Did they forget the temperature outside! People were freezing!
As we entered and got our goody bag, my friends and I rushed in, thinking where do we start! Within 5 mins the excitement had disappeared when we saw that the show was pretty small!
We wondered around looking at the stands, looking for a bargain or too, but I guess the disappointment was too much! And eventually after listening to a seminar about compression socks we decided to head back home! I don't think this is any fault of the organisers or the stands that were there
The last kick in the teeth was as we walked out we saw loads of goodies bags still available! So we didn't need to turn up so early and freeze!
It was great seeing the goodies available, but with running being such a big interest I would have liked to see more brands, stands and a bigger show!
I've fed back my thoughts! And if you attended and weren't overly impressed please say!
Here's hoping next year is better!
