Brooks Glycerin 8
The Glycerin is Brooks' top cushioning shoe. It has enjoyed a reputation for being reliability, comfort and protection through its evolution. I remember the first Glycerin I tried on - it was like wandering about in a pair of carpet slippers - and for the next 500 miles or so they proved a solid friend. I wouldn't have used them on race day - I didn't think responsiveness was their best quality - but for high mileage runners in the heavier weight range the Glycerin has always been a very good solution.

The idea that chocolate could be good for you is simply too good too be true. Isn't it? Well not according to new research that has looked at the powerful effects of antioxidants for developing and maintaining a healthy immune system. A healthy immune system is essential for the body to perform optimally and getting good quality sleep and limiting the level of stress experienced helps maintain this system. What we eat also has an important role to play in maintaining antioxidant levels in the body.

Chill Out with Thoosa →
25 JAN2010
Ladies running brand Thoosa have just launched their 2010 collection, with some fantastic additions to their (already highly successful) categories; Swift, City and Chill. The Swift range is made up of a runner's core essentials while the City range has been designed for the more modest and stylish runner to feel comfortable in an urban setting. The aptly named Chill range is made with bamboo charcoal fabric, ideal for winter running and so with the UK's weather seemingly stuck in a mini ice age at the moment, Angela Hibbs put two new items from the Chill range (tights and jacket) to the test...
