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.

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

Gore Women's Mythos Thermo Shirt (£55.00) Kerry says: This multi-functional piece of kit provides excellent value for money. It's warm (and soft and fleecy) enough to keep you warm during cold winter runs, but not so warm that you can't pair it with a base layer should you wish. Suitable for ...

Do Running Men's Heavy Fleece Pants (£44.99) Kerry says: There's nothing better after a hard session than having the right post-training slouchy clothes to pull on out of the shower.

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

New Balance Men's Long Sleeve Half-Zip Top (£19.00) Kerry says: Even in winter you can run up enough of a sweat for your top to be uncomfortably clingy if it doesn't work as hard as you do. This long sleeved top features NB's Lightning Dry technology, a super-fast and effective moisture-wicking ...
