So as you all probably know, I won a £500 voucher from prodirectrunnning in their Great South Run competition. I never win competitions so when I opened the message on Instagram I was beyond excited and very surprised. Instead of giving me one £500 voucher to spend all at once, they gave me two £250 vouchers so I could split the order. This blog post is how I spent the first £250… I decided to use the voucher on the Black Friday deals to make the most of the voucher. I knew that I needed some more trainers and I really wanted a pair of trail shoes to run on the South Downs so that was already £200 spent - well that’s what I initially thought but when I chose the trainers it only came to £108!!! I chose HOKA AHARI in blue and a pair of ADIDAS KANADIA 8.1 TRAIL, also in blue. I then decided to buy another pair of trainers so I could alternate between the HOKA’s and another pair. I chose NEW BALANCE FRESH FOAM VONGO in purple. I also bought a NIKE sports bra which I love (I think it is my favourite item from the delivery), a pair of NIKE PRO shorts which actually match Alice, a long sleeve NIKE DRI-FIT top in black, a pair of Great South Run 3 inch shorts, a pair of ADIDAS shorts and a pair of ASICS leggings which you may have seen on my story (I wasn’t actually meant to put them on my story, I was meant to send them to Alice and Beth but never mind haha). Unfortunately the ADIDAS shorts were too small and the ASICS leggings were too big so I had to send them back. Reviews: · HOKA AHARI à I absolutely love these trainers. They are a quite different to other brands – the company say “Our Meta-Rocker midsole with its low heel to toe differential and sculpted outsole propels you forward, while encouraging your natural running gait”. They are so comfy and I love the colour too.
· NEW BALANCE FRESH FOAM VONGO à I prefer the HOKAs but these a nice for shorter, recovery runs and to alternate trainers so one pair doesn’t get really run down. · ADIDAS KANADIA 8.1 TRAIL à I haven’t yet worn these but I really like the design and they have good grip for the muddy trails. · NIKE sports bra à This is by far my favourite item from the haul, it is such a nice colour and soo comfy! · NIKE DRI-FIT long sleeved top à this is perfect for the weather at the moment because it is cold but once you start running you warm up. This top isn’t too thick but keeps your arms from getting wind burn. · GREAT SOUTH RUN shorts à I bought these because I thought it would be a nice memorabilia from the great south run. I like them but the material is a bit weird – very thin and not very ‘elasticy’. · NIKE PRO shorts à love them, can’t go wrong with another pair of Nike Pros J. I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post – a little different to normal – this is the last blog post before Christmas so I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Imogen xx
