We are only a few minutes walk from Newport Bus Station, and all routes end at Newport. After disembarking head along to the main road and turn left at McDonalds/Next, and keep walking until you find us!
If you are cycling from Cowes, East Cowes or Ryde, you may prefer to avoid Coppins Bridge. If so, when you get to the Quay you need to head into town via Quay Street. From here it is easiest to dismount and walk straight through St Thomas Square and the alleyway next to God’s Providence. In Town Lane you can jump back on and cycle into South Street and then left at at McDonalds/Next into St James Street.
If you are cycling in on the Blackwater/Sandown cycletrack you need to bear left when you hit the road (opposite the Bengal Palace!) and follow this road (Medina Avenue) to the end. Left at the end brings you past Church Litten and to the Sixth Form College, and you are now in the area known as “Nodehill”. St James Street is one way, so it is quickest to dismount at the corner of Trafalgar Road/St James Street and push your bike just along the road to us.
There are some pillars you can tie your bike to just opposite Wight Mountain cycle shop. We are happy to allow a single bike through our front door and onto the shop-floor for safety, but only as long as it is dry and clean, and the shop is not busy!
If you are running to us – WHOOP WHOOP! We are very close to shops selling refreshments, and we sell lots of energy and electrolyte products to keep you going on the way back too! Please don’t sweat on the products though 😉
52 Upper St James Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 1LQ (colloquially known as “Nodehill”!)
Find us opposite “Forget-me-Not” and Take 2 hairdressers 🙂

Hi, i'm looking to replace my old trainers with the Brooks Glycerin (9 or 10) size 10.5/11. Do you have these in stock?
Regards
Jeremy
Hi Jo, Simon. My apologies but i have not been able to download the photos of last weeks Park Run yet. Have problems understanding how to do it. Sorrey about that. Could I email photos to you. I am in Falmout, Cornwall at the moment and the running the Coastal Paths every day. Last weeks new forest 10 was a struggle in the heat but still enjoyed it. Hope to see you both soon as I will be back on the IOW end of next week.
Regards Roger.
Hi Jo
Enjoyed my first run with your group last night even in the rain! Hope to join you again in the new year. Please let me know venue time etc.
Hope to get to see your shop some time - I can never get there when you are open as often work Saturdays but hope to have a few days free weekends January.
Thanks. Denise
Hello, Im coming to stay at Rookley shortly and looking for advice on some morning runs from the Hoseasons park - anything from 5-10 miles would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Justin
Thankyou everyone for your support for Dog of the Year award. I am now the proud holder of a certificate/award as Finalist with a "goodie bag". I will let you share it with me on Tuesday!
Love and licks
Hector
Well done Hector - you are a super dog!
Hi I was wondering how I become an elite runner in events, I've just taken part in the great south run and spoke to a few people who say you need to be able to do 10k in under 40 mins which I can do.
Hi Joe
I think, what you're asking is "How do I get myself at the front of races, like the Great South Run?"
The very front line of the GSR is for the world's elite racers who have proven themselves to be fast enough in other races in the past. This is a very select group in which you'll find the best runners in the world, together with the top 10-20 runners from the UK.
Just behind them are the fast club runners. These places are for people who are just off the pace of the elites; for the GSR this means being able to complete the race in something like 50 minutes to 1 hour. When entering the GSR, you state your predicted time, and this will determine if you're put into the Fast Club Runner Start. Just behind them is the Orange Wave start, at the front of the mass wave start.
Most races apply the same criteria as the GSR, and will place runners on the start line depending on their predicted finishing times.
If you're wondering how to be able to become one of the world's elite runners, there's no shortcut other than to work very, very hard for it. Finding a coach to help you reach the top level is a very good idea, and simply joining a running club will push you faster and faster, and draw nearer to some of those top race times.
If you'd like more information on joining a club on the Isle of Wight, please call into the Love Running shop and we can discuss things further.
And well done on achieving your sub 70 minute time at the Great South Run!
Kind regards,
Simon
Thankyou for replying to my message, your info has been helpful, I am very interested in joining a running club on the island, I think I can achieve a good time if I train which I didn't for the GSR, I will have to pop in to your shop and have a chat. Thanks again.
Hi,
I am new to running/ exercising and would like to get fitted for some trainers. You have been recommend by a couple of people at work and would like to pop in tomorrow afternoon if possible, do I need to book?
Many thanks
Do you run a mailing list that I could join / I used to run but would walk the routes now
Hi Yvonne, thank you for your message. We do not have a mailing list for the business, as we do not do email marketting. If there is anything we can help you with please contact us on mail@love-running.com (or via our Facebook page) and we will always be glad to help you. Kind regards & best wishes, Jo & Simon
