The Run Testers Podcast

This month on the podcast, the team is talking through the first six months of the year in running shoes. What impressed us, what was average and were there any major disappointments? We'll also be talking about loads of other stuff, from our current training plans to the latest products we've been testing. Perfect for that Sunday long run.

It was a big year for marathons at the Run Testers. Nick and Kieran took on London Marathon for another time and Tom nipped up north to try out Manchester Marathon.  In this podcast (also available as a video on YouTube) we chat through both events, from the course and crowds to the kit we wore on the day.
