THOOSA NEWS!

Roll Up Roll Up! The City Skort is set to return! Thoosa fans will already know that our City Skort was an instant success in 2010. It received rave reviews from Runner’s World and was featured in The Independent 50 BEST Fitness Essentials, making it a must for any woman runner! Having sold out almost immediately we’ve all patiently awaited its return, and luckily the wait is almost over. The City Skort is set to return in mid-January as part of our new collection.

To ensure you don’t miss out the Skort is available to pre-order from our website. Your order will be sent out as soon as the collection arrives in mid January. We will up-date you on an exact delivery date nearer the time. The City Skort will be available in black or with berry or sea stitching for £34.00. Enjoy!

CITY SKORT

Our new collection included a running skort (skirt with integral shorts) called the City skort. We introduced it to see whether the UK was ready to follow in the footsteps of our American sisters who consider the skirt a running wardrobe essential.

To be honest, I had my doubts and I have been proven completely wrong. They have flown off the shelves and after it was featured in the May issue of Runner's World, we sold out within a week!

In one sense this is fantastic news but I am also very sorry to disappoint so many of our customers. Our new stock is not due to arrive until the Autumn and although we are looking into whether we can bring this forward at the moment the signs are not good.

So to all our disappointed customers out there, you have my sincere apologies for being too conservative. We will make sure that it doesn't happen again.

SPRING IS HERE (FINALLY!)

The last month has flown by with a few highs and lows. On the positive side, it’s been so nice to go running and not be freezing. On the wardrobe front I have been enjoying trying out some of our new styles and my current favourite is the Swift cap sleeve in berry (below). I’ve transitioned from my Chill pants to the Swift knee length and I’m sure it won’t be long before I’ll be in my City skort – although I may need to apply some fake tan to my translucent white legs!

On the downside, my running hasn’t been going very well since the 17 miler at the end of February. I took a week off during which time I had a sports massage. Well it turned out to be the worse thing I could have done. The next time I went running it just felt all wrong and since then every time I’ve been out I get a different niggle – my back, my knee, my shoulder! But hopefully that is all behind me as this week I’ve had 2 runs that seemed to be fine. I’m quite nervous about our last big training run tomorrow (20 miles) but at least we will then be on the home straight.
