Review – Bex Runner cools your core through the palm of your hand
I recently had the chance to review the Bex (Better Exercise Experience) Runner. It’s not a running shoe, but a tiny hand-attached cooling pad. Why do you need a cooling pad on your hand, you ask?

Review: Garmin FR60 Sport Watch
I’ve been a runner for five years now and ever since I started, I’ve had a Garmin watch. My first watch – which I still have and occasionally use – was the Garmin Forerunner 301. It’s big, clunky and every time I look at it, I’m tempted to ask it to ‘Beam me up, Scotty’. [...]
