Review : HOKA ONE ONE Speedgoat 4

After loving my ATR 5 by HOKA ONE ONE I decided to try the Speedgoat 4 trail shoe. I usually wear a stability shoe for every day wear (the Brooks GTS that I love and would recommend in a heartbeat) but took a chance on these as a neutral shoe. THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE. That…

Review : Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20

See my review of the previous model, the 19 here. I love the GTS and my 19’s were pretty well worn out when the 20 made an appearance. Time for an upgrade! I love the 19’s a lot still, but they are completely done so I use them for cycling and bimbling around now. I…

Take a look at my Cascadia 13 review here, if you’d like to see my thoughts on the previous model! After having great success with the Cascadia 13, I decided to get the Cascadia 14 GTX. This version of the shoe is the updated model, plus it has waterproofing! My first thoughts on the 14…

Review : HOKA ONE ONE Challenger ATR 5

I got a pair of these as my first HOKA ONE ONE purchase. I was amazed by a pair of shoes that claimed to be able to do road and trail… Fast and light on the trail, its midsole geometry ensures a smooth ride on the road. From the product description Interesting… Lots of my…

Review : Socks

I’ve made a whole awesome blog post about socks! They are often overlooked but they can make or break the state of your feet. Great socks = great run. Here’s what I have tried! Danish Endurance I have both the low cut and compression version of Danish Endurance socks. I really, really like them and…

Keeping up motivation with virtual races in lockdown

As we find ourselves in this difficult situation, lots of people have been doing home workouts, online classes and taking up running (which I think is fabulous and I hope people keep it up!). I write a post here about keeping active at home, including virtual races, and I have taken my own advice and…

Review : Zwift Running

One of the things I thought I’d try during these strange times is Zwift, as I mentioned in my at home ideas post. It seemed a brilliant way to still run with others (including my fellow running club goats), virtually! Essentially, you run on a treadmill and the app puts you on a virtual track…
