Sock it 2 me – The best running socks

We all love having fresh kicks to run in, and there’s possibly an argument that a lot of people that are now into running first got into it because of the footwear hype.  Money, It’s gotta be the shoes?! However, I think a lot of people mistakenly overlook the importance of investing in good running […]

Are you a runner?

So, are you a runner? I get asked this question a lot and to be honest I never really know how to answer it.  I like to run, sometimes I love to run and sometimes I want to do something else, it sort of depends on what goals I’ve set myself and what mood I’m in. […]

adidas launch the adizero Prime Boost

Knitted footwear has proven to be pretty popular amongst the style conscious runners amongst us (I am a fully signed up member to the style before safety philosophy).

There are fewer things this Scouse Amsterdammer likes more than the feeling of getting my stride back. Getting my stride back, is the feeling I get when after a couple of kilometers at a steady pace, I’m still feeling as good as I did when I was stretching outside my house, setting up my Nike+, […]

Ciele Athletics

We’ve had our eyes peeled (so to speak) on Ciele Athletics for a little while now. Based in Montreal, Canada, these young cats have been working on a solid product that is a welcome addition to a small range of brands that deliver in both style and performance, something that our culture so desperately needs more […]
