Coros Pace 3 – Kipchoge Edition Review

I've been a Garmin girl almost since I started running. The first watch I bought was a huge old Garmin that took up most of my wrist and definitely could not be worn at any other time aside from running. Luckily running watches have come long way in the last 12 years...

Barcelona Half Marathon 2024 Race Recap

Thule Urban Glide 2 Running Buggy Review

We’ve probably all been overtaken by  a runner sprinting past with a buggy at parkrun. I had aspirations of being my strongest ever when pushing the buggy but the reality is, buggy running is hard! Even with something as nimble and easy to push as the Thule Urban...
