It’s always nice to hear from our friends at Adnams – they make great beer, are super nice and like using our clothes. However, it was a real delight when they sent us a bunch of pictures from their recent 10K in Southwold (where they had ordered special versions of our Everywear running top) and […]

Accenture was the latest company to choose Yew’s performance tops for their corporate adventures.  Accenture’s JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge team were all wearing 100% recycled running tops in Battersea Park on July 8th. They were pleased to be able to get a sustainable solution for the team shirts – opting for our lightweight short […]

We recently did a charity walk in the South Downs for the Child Welfare Scheme, a Nepal charity that we like. You can find out more about them on our People Yew Like page (http://www.yewclothing.com/community/people-yew-like).  As it was ‘just a walk’ (and incidentally, the event was called ‘Just Walk‘) we didn’t really prepare that well.

We’ve just finished the London Marathon Expo where we got to speak to loads of runners from different backgrounds. We met one of the only people to have done every London Marathon since it was founded in 1981. He told me there are 25 of them left and one of them is still under 50 […]

Lots of us go running with headphones and music. I sometimes do when I run on my own. The right music can really motivate you, put you in the right mood and distract you from the hard work – making your workout that much better and enjoyable.  Music can effectively reduce your perception of how […]

42 Floors of running can have a strange effect on you. For me, it involved crawling around on all fours, unable to talk.  Whilst on the floor (of the top floor in Tower42), the one thing I noticed was the building going up next door that was even taller than Tower42 – which I’d just […]

We’ve donated some of our clothes for a charity auction run by Trail Magazine. You can see their auction on ebay here. All proceeds from the auction will go to Community Action Nepal to help build a much-needed rescue shelter at 4750m in the remote Himalayan valley of Gokyo. This will help to save the […]

It’s been a while since I’ve done something silly for charity, so here’s this year’s. A friend and I have decided to run up 42 floors to the top of Tower 42 in London as part of an event organised by Shelter. It’s a short challenge – let’s hope it takes less than 10 minutes […]

We have always thought that we should really get certain things right from the start.  Well, one thing we didn’t make a decision on was what charities we were going to support. To be fair, we had an idea – you can see some of the causes we have already supported on this website. But […]

For those of you that think Switzerland is just full of uptight bankers and other financiers, try spending an evening at Freestyle – an extreme sports festival on the lake in Zurich, and nestled up by the headquarters of several major insurance companies.  Freestyle is all about skateboarding, free skiing and snowboarding and something they […]
