TEAM RW’S FAVOURITE GEAR OF 2016

A/ KERRY MCCARTHY Commissioning editor

Nike Vaporwing Elite Sunglasses £215.99, rxsport.co.uk The first sunnies I’ve not had to touch once during a marathon. They’re light, anti-fog and offer total coverage and brilliant clarity.

Motorola Verveloop+ Wireless earbuds £59.99, verve.life/uk These marked an end to my long search for Bluetooth earphones that fit comfortably, stay in the ear and have great sound quality.

C/ GEORGIA SCARR Deputy digital editor

Lululemon Inspire Tight II £98, lululemon.co.uk I love these tights for cold-weather running; they’re strong on edgy style but they also do a great job when winter turns cruel.

D/ KATHERINE KENDALL Brand director

Maxinutrition Fuelmax Endurance Gel £1.49, boots.com The mixed berry flavour has become my favourite gel. It has an easy-to-tear seal, smooth consistency and a pleasant taste.

E/ JOHN CARROLL Chief sub editor

OMM Adventure Light 20 £54, wiggle.co.uk Light, small (but you can pack in a fair bit), comfortable and waterproof, this made my run-commutes almost enjoyable. Almost.

F/ SAM MURPHY Section editor
