KIT LOCKER Taping Up Short Cut KINESEO TAPE
WITH ELITE stars wearing the brightly- coloured strips at high profile events,
kinesiology tape has become recognisable and available to recreational athletes. Applied to the skin and placed on top and around muscle groups, kinesiology taping is developed with the aim of healing traumatised tissue NORTHERN RUNNING EGUIDE, reader
Alistair Davy, recommends Vivomed and provides these words of advice: “Make sure you clean the area before application, otherwise it comes off very
quickly. Use of a pre-tape adhesive definitely increases effectiveness.”
PEARL IZUMI INFINITY RUN SKIRT FOR FEMALE runners looking to bring some style to their training this run skirt is just the ticket. Comprising two pieces (tight shorts and clip on skirt), this item is both feminine and sporty. The small shorts are comfortable and ideal for running in warmer temperatures while the detachable skirt offers a flattering look. I especially liked the fact that both parts could be worn separately, and have in fact donned the skirt over my regular capris for a fun race-day look! SRP: £60
Fuel Your Run
FUEL BREAKFAST CEREAL DIDN’T FANCY the new-look Fuel breakfast on first glancing at the box. The packaging is a bit weird - a mysterious eye stares right at you. That plus my experience of ‘healthy’ breakfast foods - often short on taste appeal. So I got a very pleasant surprise when I sampled the ‘real fruit chunks’ version of Fuel. It tasted great! The energy-packed breakfast granola is loaded with large clusters of toasted oats and the fruit kick comes from cranberries, redcurrants, and blackberries plus chunky pieces of dried apple, peach and strawberry - (also available in chocolate chunks). Fuel is rich in Vitamin B and E, high in fibre and contains guarana extract. It is a blend of both slow release and fast release energy. Available in 400g packs from both Tesco and Sainsbury (promotion from July 25/August 14 at Sainsbury - £1 off). SRP: £3.29
