Ultra-lightweight waterproof shells are definitely at the sexier end of running products. Why is this? Well, it’s kinda strange really, as it is something you don’t necessarily wear that often. But with a large portion of our running taking place on remote trails, within the turmoil of inclement weather systems, it often pays to be prepared.
OUR RATING

Whatever kind of runner you are, the likelihood is that you will be putting in plenty of miles pounding the tarmac. I love the trails but life intervenes and so I find myself hitting the pavement, and very occasionally the treadmill but the less said about that the better. With that in mind, I have been road testing the Hoka One One Arahis.

A serious trail shoe that thinks it is a boot - or is that the other way round?
Whatever kit you choose to wear for training and racing needs to be both comfortable and practical. I have been testing inov-8’s women’s trail shorts and half-zip baselayer during warm weather training runs in Scotland.

La Sportiva claim: “The women’s Akashas are very light with a neutral and highly cushioned sole best suited to long runs in challenging terrain with stacks of protection and a roomy fit.” The name Akasha means “ether” in Sanskrit.

In this review, I test out two lightweight running/mountain sports jackets from Adidas ready for the rains and winds of mountain running in the Summer in Europe and America, and Winter running in Australia and NZ. Both jackets were tried out over the hills in the winds and rain of a Scottish “spring”.
In this review, I look at two women’s running tops for Summer – one with short sleeves and one with long.

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.

2XU claims the Elite MCS Run Compression shorts offer “unparalleled power and protection against muscle trauma during intense activity. The MCS support system wraps key muscle groups for greater compression power and less muscle oscillation and damage”.
