DIARY
Whatever the weather, there’ll be a race to suit you this winter.

We know we should all get more rest, but sometimes it’s hard to put into practice – especially for runners! Let’s find out what your body’s doing while you rest, why it benefits your running and how you can maximise the time off your feet…

How we test
Our kit is tested by real runners: passionate women with diverse running experiences, from dedicated marathoners to happy plodders. We wear the clothes, run in the shoes and use the tech on our usual runs to see if they go the distance. We then give each piece of kit our star rating. Prices are RRP and correct at time of printing.

The CARING COST
The responsibilities, financial burden and feelings of isolation when looking after a parent can be overwhelming. For many runners, the struggle of balancing a role as carer with life’s other burdens means that their own physical and mental health falls down the list of priorities, but exercise can hold the key to respite and release…
