RUNNING
REMEDY
Following research that
mental ill health is the
main cause of serious
health problems globally- 75 per cent of Brits said
they were unable to cope
with stress last year –
Adidas has launched
wellness campaign, Run to
Reconnect. It highlights
the benefits of mindful
running to cope with
modern life, and includes
a clothing and footwear
collection, FocusBreatheIn,
designed for those of you
who want to use your runs
to reset, re-energise and
establish a personal best
mindset – we love the
FocusBreatheIn Trainers
(£84.95; adidas.co.uk),
available in shades
inspired by the chakra
points in the body from
which energies flow. Head
to the Adidas Running
app (free; Google Play
and App Store) to try out
some guided mindful runs.

LISTEN UP!
Love to listen to music while you run or cycle? Then check out the range of bone
conducting headphones from AfterShokz (aftershokz.co.uk), featuring wraparound
frames and an open-ear design with nothing inside or over your ears so you can enjoy
total awareness while you listen. Look out for the Aeropex headphones, £149.
(pictured, left), which weigh in at less than 28g, are sweat and waterproof to cope
with the toughest adventures, and have eight hours of battery life so you can listen to
calls, audiobooks and podcasts all day long. They’re the only earphones approved for
use in all road races under the UK Athletics Rules of Competition!
