Episode Notes

Euan and John chat talk about the basics of running kit. From running shoes to a few simple accessories we go back to the simple stuff. John is one of the few individuals on the planet who looks good in lycra and Euan is still slumming it in a pair of ancient Ron Hills. There's scope for everyone to indulge themselves but running kit doesn't have to be complicated either. This episode will get you started with a few easy principles.

• Socks and compression clothing 21:00

  • Is There Evidence that Runners can Benefit from Wearing Compression Clothing? Paper discussed. Be careful reading the abstract of this one. It's not exactly what the paper says.
  • Prevention of Friction Blisters in Outdoor Pursuits: A Systematic Review. Not much good evidence - paper tape is perhaps the only suggestion.
