Brooks Addiction 8

'HIGH SUPPORT, VERY STABLE'

Strengths:
High level of support makes this a very effective motion control shoe.

Only cushioned in the heel. A bit of forefoot cushioning would improve comfort.

A great shoe for those needing a higher level of support.

Asics Gel Kinsei 2

Posted: 16/10/09

'HEAVY BUT VERY COMFORTABLE'

Strengths:
Loads of gell creates a very smooth and soft ride. Usual features of top end Asics shoes.

Weaknesses:
The additional gel makes the shoe quite heavy and the stability is only suitable for neutral or very mild over-pronators.

Overall:
A great looking shoe with amazing new shoe techonology. It is heavy but a lot of runners will not notice the difference, nor care given the additional cushioning!

Easy to get down and doesn't taste bad at all. The water content helps it down a lot.

A great energy gel that's easy to swallow, try the caffinated version as well for that extra boost (Smart 1 Energizer Gel)!

Timex Bodylink Ironman Triathlon - T5G311

Posted: 14/10/09

'MID-SIZED GPS WATCH/HRM, GOOD FOR SMALL WRISTS'

Strengths:
Fits slimmer wrists nicely. The watch is great for everyday use and has all the normal sports functions yet still has the ability to record GPS / heart rate data.

Weaknesses:
Separate unit for GPS measurement needs to be worn.

Overall:
A good piece of training kit but does require more than just a watch and heart rate strap.
