Ratings Overall Ease of use Value for money Sporting a reflective logo on the right hand glove and costing around £8 from a range of online retailers, it’s no wonder you see the elites wear them for a few miles and drop them when they’ve finished with them! These gloves are a true bargain in [...]

Ratings Overall Ease of use Value for money I’ve picked up a couple of these over the last few months. One yellow, one orange.

Ratings Overall Ease of use Value for money Skins compression wear has always intrigued me. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, premium price running gear. It also claims to be very scientifically designed to get the best of an athlete. Being neither at my best, nor an athlete I’ll find it hard to [...]

Ratings Overall Ease of use Value for money The Brooks Nightlife range of running specific gear are heavily emblazoned with incredibly effective reflective bands.

Ratings Overall Ease of use Value for money Now this review is going to seem like I want everyone to buy this cap. Like Gore have paid me to say all of this. Let me assure you, they haven’t. They probably should The reason? I absolutely adore the thing. It has been my most well [...]

Ratings Overall Ease of use Value for money To say I swear by these running shoes would be an understatement. I’ve probably run best part of a thousand miles in the Asics Kayano range now. Granted they’re not the cheapest option in a structured shoe. In fact, by Asics standards, they’re virtually top line. But [...]
