Why is diet such a contentious topic in ultrarunning and why do I call it a myth? These are the topics that I will discuss in this article.

In my last piece for Outside & Active, I talked about what I believed the worst mistake a runner could make is.

So. You’ve decided to give running a go. Well done you. If you’re asking me for my opinion then you need to think about what you’ll wear on your feet when you run.
