Asics Gel-Nimbus 12

Posted: 23/02/12

'Probably the best shoe I've had after trying various brands ove rthe years.'

Strengths:
Comfortable to wear, and the extra wide fitting suits nme to a T. It's good that with a 7.5 foot I can wear a shoe that isn't tight on the width.

Weaknesses:
Non so far, except my right lace keeps coming undone a few times whilst running?

Science in Sport Go Gel

Posted: 11/11/09

'VERY PATELABLE'

Strengths:
Nearly like a drink than a gel

Weaknesses:
The pack is bigger than the Lucozade gels, so takes up more room when running. Leaves your hands a bit sticky.

Overall:
Not as viscous as some of the gels out there and more easy to diigest. You can take these without having to drink water afterwards.

Nike Air Structure Triax 10

Posted: 11/11/09

'GOOD COMFORATBLE SHOE'

Strengths:
I have wide feet and find them a good fit.

Weaknesses:
I seem to get a hole each time on the top bit of canva just above my toes.

Overall:
I'm on my 3rd pair. I bought another pair off a mate with a promise of an extra £10 if I got under 30 minutes for 5 miles. Sadly missed out by 36 seconds but have that £0 in my pocket in case.

Garmin Forerunner 405

Posted: 10/11/09

'A SLICK, COMPACT WATCH. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 505!'

Strengths:
Being able to track your distance & pace is invaluable. Also being able to scroll through previous training runs & view the time, distance, pace & calories burned is a good feature.

Weaknesses:
When it rains or you sweat a lot the bezel control doesn't work. This has to be the most frustrating thing. I've lost count of the amount of times where I have tried to access the other screens when it is slightly raining & it doesn't work! The battery life needs to be longer, especially after a few back to back training runs.

Overall:
A brilliant companion & training device albeit with a few technical hiccups. I have never owned a GPS watch before and can't compare this to the others, but I am very glad to have it. Worth the money.
