Asics GT-2150 
Posted: 13/07/11
'These shoes worked perfectly for me'
Strengths:
Good fit, holding up well even after 500 miles. No problems with fitting or blisters.
Weaknesses:
None for me.
Overall:
A very good pair of shoes, better than the 2140s (or the NB 760 that I had to abandon from blistering caused by too much toe space).

New Balance 760 
Posted: 21/04/10
'A good all-round shoe'
Strengths:
Good fit, comfortable.
Weaknesses:
None so far
Overall:
This is my first NB shoe and I'm very pleased with it. I was a great fan of the Asics 2120 but decided to switch brand after using the 2140 which gave numerous blisters. This NB 760 seems to have done the trick - they feel fairly light but are sturdy.

Asics GT-2140 
Posted: 03/04/09
'ANOTHER EXCELLENT SHOE'
Strengths:
Good cushioning and stability, exactly what it says on the tin.
Weaknesses:
None so far
Overall:
I've been using the GT2110s for some time until stocks ran out. I tried out a few others but found the GT2140 ideal.

Garmin Forerunner 305

'EXCELLENT TRAINING ACCESSORY'
Strengths:
Easy to use, very accurate. The accompanying software is ok.
Weaknesses:
Not much integration with maps.
Overall:
I bought this watch in August and use it on my long runs (9+ miles). The customisable front display means I can set it up for what I find useful (heart-rate, speed, distance). It generally comes in a few metres short of the true distance but that can be explained by the fact that it measures between recorded points so will often skip part of the bend if it is sharp corners. It is a little heavy but not much compared to a water bottle. It would be nice if the foodpod came bundled with it in the future for indoor/treadmill running.
