Nike Run Club invited runners to form their own crews and take on a 5K in Central London which started and finished in the Tate Modern.

Between 15 December 2015 and 06 January 2016 an appointment for a Nike Performance Stylist Session can be made, where you can be advised by one of Nike’s stylists as to the latest wear to suit your fitness, fashion and running needs.

Tighten and Tone: Ellie Goulding x N+TC
I received an email invite by Nike Women to attend the launch of Ellie Goulding’s Tighten and Tone N+TC workout on 03 March 2015. It was last minute (i got the email maybe 18 hours before the event) and I wasn't even sure if I was going to make it because of work; nevertheless I RSVP'd for myself and a friend and hoped I would make the launch.....
NTC Week 2015
Nike hosted their 3rd NTC Week, a series of special workouts designed to give women a boost at a time when most people would be slacking on or breaking their fitness resolutions. You get an opportunity to train with experts, try something different from your usual regime and meet like-minded women.

The
World Cup well under way….for the next 3 ½ weeks international football will
dominate conversation, the media, and the emotions of many men and women,
praying and hoping that their country will win!
In
the build up to the World Cup, there has been a lot controversy – the people of
Brazil have expressed their discontent at the amount of money that the
Government has spent of the international football tournament by hosting
several protests and strikes. Qatar continues to be scrutinised amidst
allegations of bribery of FIFA officials and corruption. This has given food
for thought as to who the actual winners and losers are of the World Cup…..
There
has also been a lot of hype too. Nike recently hosted a week of football
related events at the Old Sorting Office in Holborn. Their campaign?

Fuel Your Summer
Last Thursday I and a few of my training buddies attended a roller disco hosted at Kings Cross hosted by Nike and Urban Junkies:
We Own The Night
On 10 April 2013, I signed up
for a We Own the Night (WOTN) – a 10km run for women, hosted by Nike and Elle
magazine in the East End of London.
I signed up to this run with
the gentle nudge and encouragement of my fellow fitness darlings (Rachel, Jo,
Ogechi, Nkeiruka, Nneka to name a few!). Basically this time last year…..in
fact as recently as December 2012, my position as to running/jogging was “I do
not run”. No ifs no buts, just no. The thought of running/jogging longer than a
minute filled me with dread! However part of my goals for 2013 was to increase
my cardio and fitness – this included taking up jogging. After all it was about
time that I started challenging myself……..
Nike Training Club
You
may have noticed a few posts on my blog regarding Nike and their special events.
I have actually (and weirdly) realised that I’ve not really explained what Nike
Training Club (NTC) is……..
So....................
Nike Training Club UK is a women’s fitness community
offering up the expertise, inspiration and motivation for you to make yourself
whatever you want to be.
I wanted to take this opportunity to write about NTC and how I got involved in
it, especially as we are fast approaching March (eek!) and those
goals/resolutions that you may have truly started to flounder!
So....................
What is Nike Training
Club?
Well

Looking back, 2012 has certainly been an eventful year......the highs, including the going to Hackney Weekender, the Olympics and Paralympics, Nike Training Club and some lows which included the death of loved ones.
I also started this blog. I want to thank you all again for checking out my blog, especially those who comment and have followed!!
And as for 2013:

The Temptation of Nike
This is going to sound weird,
but I go to my local Nike store 3 times a week…..
I go there to work out as they
provide Nike Training Club classes as well as a yoga class. They have some
really decent clothes, not only for exercise but also for casual wear.
I’m usually a good girl – I look
but don’t touch unless I really, really, really need/want something. But when
Nike have their sales*, they put out a couple of gems and resistance becomes
futile:
 |
| Women's Nike Free TR Fit 2 - Nike (duh!) Original Price - £80 Sale Price - £40 |
I succumbed to temptation on Monday without so much as a second thought. The trainers were originally £80
but were on sale for £40. I had been looking for a spare pair of work out
trainers and these just happened to be at a right price in the right colour. So
badly I wanted that when I was told that they had only a size 6.5 (US 9) I
still tried them on – and they actually fitted well (despite being half a size smaller)!
These trainers were meant
to be mine.
 |
| Gold Digging T-Shirt - Nike Original Price - £16 Sale Price - £8 |
I love t-shirts in general; I felt that the above t-shirt would be welcome amongst my growing collection. This was also 50% off, so the purchase was all the more sweeter!
There are still quite few
tempting pieces to buy from Nike, especially with payday round the corner……
*Sale prices may/can vary from shop to shop
Nike Training Club Live 07.07.2012
Hi Readers!
Over the weekend I attended
the first ever Nike Training Club (NTC) Live Festival, which took place at the Old
Billingsgate Market in Central London. As you may have read from my previous posts here and here, I am quite a fan of NTC!
It was a free (yep, FREE!)
event, but entry could only be earned by clocking up minutes attending NTC
classes and/or doing the workouts from Nike’s NTC app on iTunes. Again the
classes and the app are free!
The event consisted of free
classes (NTC and Yoga), manicures by Wah Nails, massages, 1on1 Q&A with
personal trainers, nutritional advice and an opportunity to try out the new
Nike Lunar Hyperworkout+ trainers. There was a chance to win a pair, but I didn’t
win :¬(. I cannot lie, the trainers are pricey (from £170, ouch), but they are amazing! They can
track your movements; when synced with your workout app, you can earn points
and compete with other people.
Here are a few pics* from the
day (taken on my Samsung Galaxy SII):
I didn’t get a manicure (boo!)
but I enjoyed the classes, got lots of useful information to improve my
workouts & nutrition, and got to try out those amazing trainers. The massage
was heavenly……
The Festival finished with a
live PA from Katy B, who I really like!
I was so happy to see her perform,
and for free especially as she was due to perform at the Somerset House in Central
London on 07/08 July 2012! Her live singing was great, as was her DJ and band.
She is an avid supporter of NTC and regularly does the workouts with one of the
Sonja, one of the Nike Master Trainers.
I think her album Katy on a Mission
is absolutely brilliant and it is actually one of my favourite albums.
All in all, it was a great
event; it was great being rewarded for all the workouts that I do! I look forward to next year’s festival x
**Nike have recently posted a video about NTC Live:
I actually appear for a split second within the first 4 seconds of the video starting....I'm the girl in the white Nike top jumping up for a photo (my split second of fame!)

Nike Free Advantage Trainers & Training Super Natural
Hi
guys!
I
hope you all had a great Easter…..this week has been really busy since the
Easter Break is over!
Today,
I received a pair of Nike Free Advantage Trainers in the post, which I have been excited
about. Why was I excited? Because I won them!
Yep,
on 05 April 2012 I took part in another Nike NTC event – Train Super Natural.
This took place at Westfield, White City in front of ALL the shoppers! Katy B
(UK Artist - i LOVE her album, On a Mission - check it out!) was also present; she didn’t sing, but she took part in the work
out. Nike was giving away 10 pairs of their newest trainers to the girls who
worked out the hardest and I was one of the lucky winners! Just as well, I was
seriously considering buying a new pair of trainers and a sale had just
started. I loved the energy; it was great seeing so many girls taking part.
Here are few pics of the event (the pics were taken by me):

| Katy B is soooooo little in real life! |

| The Nike Master Trainers - they went in HARD! |
You can also check out a video of the evening here; it includes a running event that Nike also hosted.
I don't think I have ever been so excited about fitness! i love it!
Not an Ordinary Wednesday and a Maxi Skirt
March already?! How time is flying by......even with an extra day in the year!
Yesterday
I took part in a special Nike event at the Southbank in Central London. I (along
with about 130 ladies) took part in a workout on the London Eye. Yep, as I
viewed the amazing London skyline in a capsule, I was struggling with arm dips
and getting low & deep with my squats. Here are a couple of pics taken of the event (pics are from the Nike Training Club Facebook page):
