Salomon S/Lab Sense Ultra review

I have previously only used Inov 8 trail shoes and although I have no complaints about them and my Roclite 290’s are still used weekly even after 600 miles a change can be good.

First 50 miler – Dartmoor crossing extreme

I started running around 18 months ago and soon established that I wasn't driven by fast 10k times or trying to run a sub 3 hour marathon.

I found them to have almost unbelievable traction and the weight and confidence made me want to run as fast as I could at all times. However I found the precision fit created hotspots when… Continue reading Inov-8 Roclite 290 review

Pure Trail’s Deep River Trail race half marathon report

The race began at Piddledown common just off the drive way to Castle Drogo at the top of the steep Teign valley. The race would take us down to the river where we would then snake through the beautiful wooded hillside in a loop before returning to where the pain began. 7 of the 14 miles… Continue reading Pure Trail’s Deep River Trail race half marathon report
