Inov8 have just sent me an e-mail asking if I want to pre order a pair of their latest shoe, The Parkclaw.

£160

What the hell will they come up with next.

Parkclaw: "Graphene foam propels 25% more energy return for longer-lasting wild speed."
I could have done with a bit of wild speed back in the day, do people get paid to come up with this marketing drivel?

Probably dreamed up by some halfwit who thinks "wild camping" is parking a campervan in a layby!

This made me chuckle...

My life philosophy is to try and live everyday as if it was my last...


Which is why I spend all day either shuffling around in pyjamas or in a coma....

Just read an article on “naked running”, this is becoming the new in thing. Unfortunately it doesn’t involve simple nudity, worse than that, it is running with no electronic gadgets 😱, no garmin, no music, no watch; shock horror, runners are finding it enjoyable.

I'm probably the only runner in my club who runs with no gadgets or gizmos, so obviously I'm not on strava or the like. I lead a lot of runs for beginners and improvers. They are mortified that I don't know how far we've gone. At the end of runs they all compare data and if we happen to have only done say 5.8 miles, some of the more extreme may jog round the field to round it up!
I have started carrying a phone now, but only when running on my own over the hills.

I was at running club when I first heard about this years ago; someone asked me if I was a naked runner as I had no watch or accessories. I couldn’t believe it was a thing.
I wistfully look back to those days when I realise I can’t even go for a short jaunt on my bike without Garmin. I’ve been sucked in!
