Road running shoes are the most common type of trainers and are usually what most people think of as 'running shoes'. They're designed to be highly shock-absorbant to help protect your joints against the impact of harder surfaces, reducing the risk of injury and giving you a more comfortable ride.

During winter, it's hard to get outside with the cold weather and shorter days. However, just because it's dark outside, doesn't mean we have to confine ourselves to the indoors.||| Whether it's going for a hike in the hills on the weekend, trying to keep fit over the winter months or just taking the dog for a walk, a head torch is an essential piece of kit for us to be able to continue all of our summer outdoor pursuits well into the depths of winter.
