ESSENTIAL

ADD-ONS

Make your run that little bit smoother with

a selection of distraction-free extras to help

you go the extra mile

1

COMPLY FOAM TIPS

Switch out your existing silicone eartips

for some memory foam alternatives and

you may well end up with a far better fit.

That’s critical if you’re shaking your buds

with every footstrike – and could make the

difference between them staying in or going

flying at a crucial moment.

From £20, complyfoam.co.uk

LIFEPROOF LIFEACTIV

ARMBAND

If a watch won’t cut it and you want to

bring your phone with you, Lifeproof’s armband

is the best way to keep it close without having

it flop about in your shorts. Its quick-locking

bracket means you won’t have to fight to

extract your phone from a pocket either.

£43, lifeproof.co.uk

POLAR H10

When you’re collecting detailed stats

about your performance, a chest-strap

heart rate monitor is going to offer you more

accurate results than any wrist-mounted

device. The H10 is cheap enough, surprisingly

comfortable to wear, and its battery lasts well.

NIKE ZOOMX VAPORFLY

NEXT% 2

There are (many) cheaper shoes, and

there are shoes with slightly less unusual

designs, but if you feel like you’re already at

your peak you shouldn’t hesitate to give your

feet a bit of special treatment. These are

cushioned and sprung to help you push past

your best.

GARMIN

FORERUNNER 945

Forget having to lug your phone

around with you. Not only is Garmin’s

high-end Forerunner a terrific coach and

stat-keeper for your workouts, you can pack

it with all the music you need to keep you

moving while you run, thus allowing you to

leave your phone at home entirely.
