About Run Eat Sleep
Run Eat Sleep is a local running and fitness community based in South Shields, founded by Luke Adams in 2012. What started as a way to help beginners take their first steps into running has grown into an award-winning fitness business — built on passion, community, and a shared love for the outdoors.
Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or just looking to enjoy something for yourself, we’ll support you every step of the way with encouragement, structure, and a community that cares.
Who We Are
We’re proud to have created a welcoming, encouraging space where runners of all levels can feel part of something. Whether your goal is to get off the couch or complete your first marathon, we’re here to help you get there.
We don’t take ourselves too seriously — but we do support each other, train with purpose, and have a lot of fun along the way.
