There are some innovations in running kit that come along that feel so necessary, it’s a bit of a surprise that they’ve not been around for years. Like headphones that go round the back of your head instead of over the top, or socks with L and R on them. Imbrace leggings are a bit like that. These clever leggings are designed to support your knees and hips and aid alignment to reduce pain, swelling and fatigue.

Imo Boddy looks refreshed and recovered when we speak to her, a mere few weeks after she set a new women’s world record for running the Three Peaks. If you didn’t know, The Three Peaks record involves running up the three highest peaks in Great Britain – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).

Completing a marathon by anyone’s standards is a huge achievement. Completing one in fancy dress takes things up a notch or two. Completing the London Marathon as part of a team of ten running within a model of a London bus is pretty much off the scale. But that is exactly what Jackie Scully has done.

The third version of Veja’s Condor is finally here: is it worth the wait? I’ve been lucky enough to test all three iterations of the Condor, so I feel like I’m in a good position to report on the changes as they’ve happened. Now, I wasn’t blown away by the first two versions of the Condor – they were good, but just not quite good enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the best women’s running shoes out there. I was very keen to see if Veja bucked the trend with their latest iteration.
