Took part in the #secrethalf virtual race today to see what the damage is from months of running slowly. Might have been the heat that made it a tough slog - probably more likely my recent over enjoyment of Elvis Juice and orange Yorkies. Either way, it was a killer. Also used it to test the @hokaoneone Clifton 8s out, along with some rather fancy commemorative #secrethalf laces (review coming to @theruntesters soon). Hell of a lot easier to get out of the house when the weather's like this, makes the whole running thing much more enjoyable. Over the last week I've been testing out the @jaybirdsport Vista 2 headphones for @theruntesters. The Vista 1s were by far one or the best all-round headphones for runners already, so the updates made to the 2s are rather impressive. Head over to the link in the bio to see the VERY in-depth review. No idea how we managed to find the exact two hours it didn't rain this weekend, but it made for a very scenic trail half through the fields. The hills and about 4kg of mud per shoe - less fun. Managed to find an hour when it wasn't raining to test out a very exciting shoe - the @asics Metaspeed Sky carbon plate racer, one hell of a handsome looking shoe. First impressions are very good, feels like one of the best super shoes I've tried so far if you like bounce... need to get some races in to do some real speed testing. Some very exciting news to end the week with. After over a year of @theruntesters covering the best running kit and tech, we've been given the opportunity to work with a brand that we've used since it started, @coros_uk/ @corosglobal It's always nice to see your work in print, but it's even better when it's something you did purely for enjoyment. Quite the pleasure to have one of my photos in the @vertebrate_publishing Big Trails: Great Britain and Ireland Volume 2 guide. A beautifully written and designed overview of some phenomenal long distance routes, including one of my favourite, the Isle of Wight Coastal Path.
