– or egg-free which everyone will enjoy can be tricky.

In four flavours, including zesty lemon and chocolate fudge, OGGS (£4.25 for four; loveoggs.com) are totally natural and completely plant-based without sacrificing taste or texture.

ENGINEERED with a sock-like fit, the adidas Pulseboost HD (£119.95; adidas.com/ feeltheboost) is designed to provide more stability for urban runners who need to be able to quickly change direction or stop on busy streets. They’re also reassuringly reflective to keep you safe on

runs after dark.
