In this episode, you’ll discover the gear that’s transforming my runs, including my favorite all-around running shoe, an unexpected heart rate monitor upgrade, and a singlet designed to stay in place no matter how fast you go.

Plus, I’ll dive into the philosophy behind KZN RUN gear and why it’s more than just clothing. If you’re looking to optimize your runs, this episode is packed with insights you can apply today.
