Recovery and injury prevention should be high on any runner’s agenda. The Pulsio AIR Massage gun is probably the most premium, compact, reliable and affordable recovery aid on the market at the moment. It packs a punch for a such a compact product with max force of 30kgs which is around 50% more than most of its competitors.

 Built with premium materials and constructed with a high-grade aluminium it is “whisper-quiet”. Up to 12 hours battery life on a single charge and it comes in a range of colours to suit any style or preference.

Books on Ultra Running

Price: from £10

With an audible subscription the runner you are buying for can listen to the best audiobooks out there whilst on a long training run. Some of the best books I’ve read or listened to are “The Rise of the Ultra Runners” – An electrifying, inspirational account of what Adharanand Finn encountered on his journey in ultra running.

“Finding Ultra” – By Rich Roll, This is the incredible true story of the author’s remarkable transformation, at the age of 40, from out-of-shape average Joe into one of the world’s best endurance athletes.

“Born to Run” A best seller about the hidden tribe of ultra runners and the greatest race in the world, by Cristopher McDougall.

Zwift Run Pod

With the winter settling in it’s sometimes easier to stay inside and get the training run in on the treadmill. With the Zwift Run Pod you can turn the treadmill run into an interactive virtual race. Join the Zwift community and challenge yourself in the gym or at home.
