By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

Gore Women's Air 2.0 AS Lady Vest (£100) Kerry says: One hundred English pounds may seem like a lot of money for a sleeveless jacket but for top-of-the-range clobber, Gore are a brand that deliver value for money. Suitable for cold summer days (and let's not pretend we don't have plenty ...

Gear Pick of the Week: X-hale Women's Bamboo Tee

By on in Gear

X-hale Women's Bamboo Tee (£19) Kerry says: This is a tee which is more than the sum of its parts. It solves several issues that many self-conscious female runners have. Firstly, the loose fit, wide hems and slightly flared midriff section means if you have any lumps and bumps they ...

Gear Pick of the Week: K-Swiss Men's Kwicky Blade-Light

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

K-Swiss Men's Kwicky Blade-Light (£80) Kerry says: This is my own shoe of choice – which means if you're like me (average weight; need a sturdy but unobtrusive heel; love responsiveness and low weight; prefer neutral construction with plenty of cushioning; narrow feet) then this is the shoe for you.

Gear Pick of the Week: Asics Women's Run Brief

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

Asics Women's Run Brief (£13) Kerry says: Being a fella I've not tried these but RW's trusted cadre of female gear testers report that they're something of an oddity in the sports brief market – in that they actually work. They don't bobble, rub, ride up, itch or any of the ...

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

110% Men's Juggler Knickers (£110.00) Ignore the wacky name – these 3/4 length pants are a serious bit of kit. Available in both men's and women's options, these tights provide compression- and ice-recovery in one garment. Graduated compression in the tights promotes quicker blood flow back to the heart, which in turn ...

Gear Pick of the Week: X-Tenex Laces

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

X-Tenex Laces (£9.00) Kerry says: This week's Gear Pick is a great budget-friendly pre-payday treat. They may look simple (and colourful) but these inexpensive elastic knotted laces could transform your running. Simply lace up the trainers and use the knots to adjust the tension between each set of eyelets. They don't ...

Gear Pick of the Week: ASICS Gel Kayano 18

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

ASICS Gel Kayano 18 (£133) Kerry says: Any shoe that has 18 versions must be doing something right, and such is the case with the Kayano. This titan of the mild-moderate stability category lost some ground with the previous two versions, which had various issues with durability and comfort. The Kayano ...
