James - High5 - I have just started using the High5 products. I use the Energy Source orange flavour which tastes great, much better than other similar products on the market and the energy gels which are really easy so swallow. I also like the protein recovery bars.

Matthew - Skins "I have been using Skins since we first started stocking them last year and I really wouldn't run without them. I wear the Skins long tights for most of my training runs and they really do seem to keep Lactic at bay and I feel less fatigued even during my marathon programme (100 miles a week). I have now invested in the shorts to race in and also the recovery tights (which I wear in bed!!) which really do seem to help tired legs "recover".

Kath - Saucony Pro Grid Trigon Guide 6 "I have been wearing Saucony shoes for at least 10 years and the Guide is an excellent shoe, one of the best yet - really comfortable right from day one. The cushioning feels great too and there is just the right degree of stability for a mild pronator!"

Ian (customer) on Nuun "I am currently in training for a 6 day charity bike ride in the Alps and have really been suffering after my long rides from headaches caused by dehydration. taking a Nuun tablet after my rides seems to have really sorted out this problem. The tabs are easy to dissolve in a cold drink and taste fine too. They seem to help me recover and replace all the minerals etc. I have lost through sweating. I can really recommend these.

Dave (customomer) on the Saucony Tangent 3 "I am a marathon runner and do all my training in the Omni. The Tangent is an excellent racing shoe for me as it has similar support to the Omni and enough cushioning but is light and flexible. This is my second pair and I can reccomend them to anyone looking for a racing shoes with enough support and cushioning to see you through a marathon.
