Toni - Head of Sales

How long have you worked at Runners Need?: Since March 2011
Tell us about yourself:: When I'm not running, cycling or at the gym - bird watching, walking in my local forests and country parks, reading, gardening, cooking and looking after my animals are my favourite things to do.
What are your favourite shoes to run in and why?: Currently Adidas Sequence 4 which I really recommend. After some bad back injuries at the end of last year, cushioning became a major consideration and I find they give me ample shock protection with a good level of support. I'm still a fan of the Asics 2160/2170 and will probably switch between the two. Kanadia's for off road still tick all the boxes.
How often do you go running?: 5/6 times per week
Have you taken part in any marathons, challenges or races?: Enjoy half marathons, had to pull out of some races during the last quarter of 2011 due to injury but looking forward to race season this year with fingers crossed that the back will hold out!
Are you taking part in any events this year?: Brentwood half, Southend half, Great South run scheduled in so far and some 10k's if I get the chance.
What's your favourite music to run to?: I find hip hop/rap works for me, odd considering I'd never listen to it at any other time!
