MOBILE PROVIDER
Mobility: the least
glamorous part of any
fitness endeavour. But,
much like servicing
your car, it is essential
if you want to avoid
breaking down on the
road. A mat acts as
an environmental cue
that screams, “Stretch!”
And, at 10mm thick, this
one makes child’s pose
even comfier.

STRETCH YOURSELF
With the nights growing
longer, you’ll be glad that
the stylish visibility panels
will reflect headlights on
your run home from work.
But these tights aren’t just
for the health-and-safety
conscious: targeted
compression can reduce
muscle fatigue and speed
up recovery. Plus, there’s
a discreet back pocket
for your essentials.

AND REDUCE RISK OF

REGULARLY)

BAG FOR LIFE
If you’re multitasking
your miles with a cardio
commute, you’ll need
a rucksack that can
pack your nine-to-five
necessities but won’t
slow you down. This
slimline number boasts
a 35L capacity (a lot of
lunch, basically) and is
engineered to ensure the
only bounce you’ll get is
the spring in your step.

LEADING LIGHT
Castore’s Karlsson tee
uses a patented pique
mesh fabric to minimise
heavy seams, making it
one of the lightest on the
market. Plus, polyamide
elastane fabric doesn’t
just claim to wick sweat:
it actually does. Which is
good news when you’re
eating up miles at full tilt.
