If you are going to be spending more than an hour or two out on the trail, you will almost certainly need to carry some kind of hydration pack or system.

Part of my ultra training involves getting lost in the mountains. Here is where the Grivel Mountain Runner Comp 5L pack comes into play. I needed a way to carry enough food, water, and emergency equipment to survive my frequent forays into the mountains of northern Spain.

The lightweight, minimalist Salewa pack is designed for moving fast in the mountains. I have been testing it on training runs on the trails and hills of Scotland.

Specifically designed for women and trail running, the Montane VIA Claw 14 pack includes a host of features that may or may not be useful. I put it to the test while trail running. The men’s version is the Montane Via Razor 15.

I can't seem to walk through a camping/hiking/running shop without being magnetically drawn to the bag section. I have to dream up specific occasions to convince my partner that I need a new pack because there will be a time when a 12-litre bag is too much, but a 6-litre is too small. It's safe to say I'm on the constant quest for the "perfect" bag so without further ado, here’s my thoughts on the Ultimate Direction Jurek FKT Vest.

The Ultra 8 race pack forms part of the OMM race collection that also includes 12 and 15 litre pack. This new 8-litre training and race pack is aimed at short/day runs.

An expensive but, at some point, useful outlay for ultra and marathon runners is a lightweight sleeping bag. It might be an essential kit list item for a multi-day race or something you plan to use on overnights during longer training runs. It needs to be light so that is can be easily carried in a rucksack, but it also needs to be warm so that you can sleep well.

If you are looking for a super lightweight sleeping bag that is ideal for use in the warmer months, when temperatures dip no more than 5ºC, the PHD Minimus range could be for you.
20-Dec-15
Many ultra runners will have a need for a lightweight but warm sleeping bag. This is the only synthetic bag in our testing collection and Mountain Hardwear claim it is “engineered to be the lightest and warmest synthetic bag available”.

Budget, weight, space and warmth are all important factors when choosing a sleeping bag for ultra running or training run overnights. This bag is lightweight and warm, mainly for temperatures similar to UK spring and summer use.
