 With so many Gels on the market all claiming do do the same thing its difficult to choose, at LETS RUN we test everything, Torq gels taste great and from our experience we've not had any stomach problems often associated with energy gels.

Specs

Research demonstrates that individuals can absorb up to 3 Torq units per hour whilst exercising, however Torq recommend that newcomers and smaller individuals start with 2 Torq units initially and experiment with higher doses over time. In warmer environmental conditions, or during higher intensity exercise when perspiration rates are high, they recommend that you lean towards a greater intake of Torq Energy Drink units. During cooler conditions when hydration is less of an issue, more of your fuelling units should be delivered via Torq Gels and Bars.

Fuelling
The Torq Fuelling system (2-3 Torq units per hour). Each of the following TORQ fuelling products represents 1 TORQ unit:

500ml Torq Energy (@6%), Carbs - 30g, Torq unit - 1
1 x Torq Gel (45g), carbs - 30g, Torq unit - 1
1 x Torq Bar (45g), carbs - 30g, Torq unit - 1

Lace up and head out in supreme comfort. For the men's Glycerin GTS 21, we added 2mm more super soft DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for extra plushness, while our innovative GuideRails support system keeps you comfortably in stride.

Plus an updated, streamlined upper adds breathability.

Sustainability 

The 0.75 is a below-the-knee cut and the 1.0 is a full length tight all providing suitable coverage but letting your ankles and calves breathe and stay cool when you building up heat. Flat lock seams reduce any friction or irritation so you have as comfortable a run as possible.

Mesh panels behind the knees provide great ventilation to keep your legs cool and dry when working up a sweat. 4-way stretch material provides brilliant durability and flexibility that lets your body move without restriction. Stretch Polyamide (18% Lycra) yarn fabric is high-wicking though not cool-to-feel, which can be a discomfort with some close fitting leggings. Grip strips prevent the legs riding up when moving so you’re comfortable throughout your activity. A great extra layer of protection for running and cycling.

Brooks Hyperion Max 2 Running Shoes

Fast and protective for training at top speed, the Hyperion Max 2 helps you go after your goals by combining even more high-stacked lightweight cushioning than in the prior version with fast transitions and a breathable fit.

Lightweight Mesh Upper

Supplying feet with an exceptional level of comfort and breathability, the Hyperion Max 2 utilises a lightweight mesh upper. The mesh enables cool air to circulate, creating a drier, healthier environment for your feet to thrive. Additionally, the upper promotes efficient moisture management by actively and efficiently wicking away the build-up of excess sweat and moisture to leave you feeling cool, dry and comfortable as you strive for the best results and performance. The material used in the upper wraps around your foot which ensures a full, unrestricted range of motion while the flat-laying tongue reduces irritation caused by rubbing and chafing to enhance comfort. Lastly, the traditional lacing system locks down the midfoot for a secure and stable ride.

• Lightweight Mesh Upper - Optimal amount of stretch and breathability.

The Alta III is the ideal jacket for all walking activities, including at the highest level.

I used the ladies version for The Winter Spine Race in 2019- amazing! 

When walking on tough terrain in cold and wet conditions, you need durable, reliable clothing that will keep you dry and warm. If you are working hard, your jacket also needs quick options to cool you down while on the move.

Functional design, combined with Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric, provides optimum comfort, excellent weather protection, warmth and cooling in one efficient jacket.

The Alta III has excellent ventilation, a fully adjustable hood and practical pocketing.

• Temperature regulation is provided by upper arm vents (that can also stay open in the rain without water ingress), a two-way locking front YKK zip with internal storm flap, and sleeves that are designed to be pushed up.
• Good visibility and weather protection is assured by the fully adjustable wire peaked hood, which is designed to maintain vison in all conditions and roll into the jacket collar when not in use.
• Secure external and internal storage allows for safe stowing of map and navigation tools across six well-placed pockets.

Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric is more than just breathable, it is directional.

This means it is capable of moving liquid water away from your body and not just water vapour.

It is essential to avoid a build-up of water in your clothing system when you are working hard, as too much retained moisture will lead to your body rapidly chilling when you stop and rest.

In conventional clothing systems, approximately 20% of sweat production is dealt with effectively, leaving the remaining 80% trapped inside.

Nikwax Analogy garments are unique, in that they pump out this 80% of liquid water and allow it to drain away; you are left feeling dry and comfortable.

To understand the difference between directionality and breathability.
