What shoes and other gear do you currently use in training?
Inov-8 Terraultra The G 270 was a winner for me last year. With graphene grip but greater comfort and improved cushioning, it’s designed for tough trails but was excellent on the Pennine Road too. I’ve been looking into more ethical nosh, and Outdoor Provisions is doing great things with their vegan bars and nut butters, all in compostable wrappers. Look out for Super Fuel as well, which offers some exciting stuff.
