Thanks everyone

Ive had a look at the Canix races, they look great. I'll have a look at theDorset Doddlers Seela. There seems to be more opportunities than I thought, it's a shame that you can't run with dogs on all races but I guess falling over leashes could be a issue !!

I use a camelback style of rehydration system, the major downside I find (IMHO) is that for the longer duration runs the water heats up due to the conduction of heat from your back, this is made worse on hot days. A lot of the serious ultra guys dont like them because of the time spent re-filling them at check points in comparison to the bottles, and its difficult to monitor your hydration levels because of not realy being able to see it.

Other than that they are great bits of kit, the load feels well balanced on your back. Top tip though... get all of the air out of the bladder before closing it, the sloshing noise drives me nuts!! is this just me?

Hi folks

Can anyone tell me if there are races within the UK that allow dogs to run with their owners (apart from guide dogs)??

Cheers

I use the Skins A200 half tights under shorts (race ready). Theyre realy comfortable, dont rub and they keep everything in place and stationary.....if you know what I mean

Hi folks

I wonder if anyone has any experience in the choice of a combined trail / road shoe??

Im looking for a shoe that I can used for combined trail / road ultras, the Inov-8 Roclite 312 GTX reads as if this may be a good shoe of choice.... any thoughts.

Cheers
