The story so far

We’re an independent running store and community hub in Edinburgh. We sell shoes, clothes, and anything that helps runners to go further, faster and have more fun outdoors.

We hope our shop can become a home for runners in Edinburgh and a stop-off for anyone exploring our fine city and beyond.

Somewhere to start, somewhere to return to. A place to chat routes, kit, races, injuries. A place to meet like-minded people. All welcome.

For the love of it

Running’s strength lies in its simplicity. No matter how hard some might try to overcomplicate it, it’s literally one foot in front of the other. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes long, sometimes short - that’s all it is. And we love it.

A lot of people argue it’s boring, futile, torturous even. But we think they're wrong. It’s black and white, in a world that can be grey. It’s cathartic. It’s fulfilling. It’s addictive. It’s a simple childhood pleasure, and its beauty hides behind its simplicity.

Regardless of why you run, where you run, or how quickly you run, we firmly believe that running is an activity which adds to the richness of life. And that’s why we decided to open Interval: to, hopefully, inspire a few more people to pick up a pair of shoes, head out the door, and run. Whatever your reason may be.
