2. FELL RUNNING SHOES

inov-8 X Talon G235 Trail Running Shoes

By far my favourite fell running shoe. They’re comfortable, lightweight, provide good grip on both mud and rock, and they are certainly worth investing in. This shoe will give you confidence on even the most challenging off-road terrain and is the perfect choice for fell racing.

inov-8 Roclite 275 Women's Trail Running Shoes

The ROCLITE 275 provide both comfort and protection for your feet as you negotiate the challenging terrain. For me, this is my chosen shoe if I am running on mainly terrain that has rock or scree as a feature.

A must-have on every run, its stretched fabric means it sits comfortably whilst you run. It is the perfect accessory if you only want or need to carry the essentials. It has a zip pocket for your phone and keys so you can be confident in the knowledge that they won’t fall out, whilst the stash pocket is handy for carrying a snack or soft flask to maintain hydration.
