We've got shoes, tech, supplements, gadgets and more! Some of these really surprised me and I will genuinely continue to use them on a regular basis going forward, but others, quite frankly, were just not worth the hype! This video is NOT sponsored. All products mentioned have been bought 100% by Ben and the channel. Our mission here is to help runners of all abilities improve and enjoy running to their full potential. Showcasing the best running tips and advice, while reviewing the latest gear and taking your round some of the best races in the world!

Agree with the Coros Armband. I am a Garmin user, and it connects without any problems. So much more comfortable than a chest strap

The only downside with the coros armband is in the winter when you are layered up and realise you forgot to put it on - that was the only advantage that the chest strap had for me 😄

I purchased the corps heart beats monitor earlier this year. Your review is spot on. The data is way more accurate, and the only downside is the weird charging cable

great content. Also knowing that you bought these all with your own money is a real comfort
