From late Spring onwards, it is time to break out the three-quarter-length or knee-length running tights and free those legs and ankles to the sun and wind. I like a shorter length because they give you all the support you need while keeping you that bit cooler, also you can get a pair of calf sleeves on underneath quite comfortably.

Whether you wear it for the entire run, put it on at the start when it’s chilly and take it off when you warm up, or pop it on at higher altitudes, there is little doubting the value of a long-sleeved baselayer or mid-layer. A baselayer is also useful year-round and, for many ultra runners, a favourite extra layer will be with them for years.

Having spent a lifetime carefully reading the listed ingredients on packages to avoid preservatives and additives that might impact on my health, being forced to compromise on my dietary choices with additive packed expedition food has always been a concern.

This is it, four months of specific training all for this moment, to toe the start line of my first ultra race, the 60 van Texel. A new adventure, away from the marathon and into the unknown.

The updated Saucony Peregrine promises serious grip and extra cushioning. It is a neutral shoe meant for trails and grass and has a 4mm heel to toe offset.

I chose the Glasgow to Edinburgh race (G2E) as my first ultra for a number of reasons. Firstly, as an Edinburgh resident, it’s local; secondly, as it’s flat, it is a relatively quantifiable challenge for a first-timer; and finally, at under £50 to enter it’s good value and doesn't create a big sunk cost if injury prevents you making it to the start line.

Designed for medium and long-distance runs on trail that is hard and compact, the Dynafit Feline Ultra promises “reliable support and shock absorption”.

I’ll be honest: despite being an endurance athlete for 10 years now, and having tried most nutrition products available, I hadn’t heard about 33Shake Endurance Nutrition until they started sponsoring the monthly Race Review competitions on RunUltra, and so it’s with impartial eyes and an unbiased palate that I reviewed a couple of their products.
