WHAT’S NEW?

THE FUTURE’S BRIGHT

Iconic US challenge the Color Run makes its Scottish debut when the event arrives at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena on 21 June. Dubbed the Happiest 5k on the Planet, this run is not timed, so participants can walk, jog, dance or conga their way along the course at any pace, with each of them starting off in a white T-shirt and being doused in powder colour explosions at every kilometre.

Jog, dance or conga your way along – and get doused in colour explosions

Broken up into 106 single page tips on exercise and diet, it features advice including Eight Foods to Avoid at All Costs (according to him, potatoes, sugars, grains, fruit juice, sports drinks and energy bars, corn, white rice and hydrogenated oils). £9.99, Workman
