Garmin Forerunner 955 vs Forerunner 945 Compared – Now with touch screen and solar

Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% Review vs Tempo NEXT% – Do they make you faster?

As a tight-fisted northerner, the thought of spending £200+ on running shoes has always felt like madness to me. The critic in me has always found it ridiculous that so many none competitive runners line up for marathons and the like with Nikes’ famous range of Alphafly/Varporfly shoes. But here I am, a none competitive…

RGT Cycling becomes Wahoo RGT under Wahoo X, aggressively going after Zwift

Correction: I previously stated that RGT Cycling had lost its free tier, but Wahoo have informed me otherwise (though I am not convinced this will last forever). Three weeks after I wrote a post about the top free indoor cycling apps, highlighting RGT as the best option, Wahoo buys them up. For the time being…

Poco Watch Review: Initial impressions of the global variant of the Redmi Watch 2 – Cheap GPS running watch for Strava

Today, Poco has launched its first smartwatch, the Poco Watch, alongside the Poco F4 GT. Poco were kind enough to send me the watch to review early but didn’t grant my Mi Fitness the ability to add it to add it until yesterday! So this is very much an initial impression of the watch. To…

Best Fans for Zwift Indoor Cycling & Home Gym

After one week of warm weather, it is probably time for me to prepare for summer. I have previously covered the best pedestal fans for sleeping. The key to these fans is as many speeds settings as possible, allowing you to run it as slowly as possible and, therefore, silently. It is the opposite for…

Polar Pacer Pro vs Vantage M2 vs Garmin Forerunner 245 Compared – Or wait for the Forerunner 255

This week, Polar announced two new watches, the Polar Pacer Pro and the standard Pacer. These are geared toward runners but should function well as multisports watches. The two watches shake up the Polar range, effectively making the M2 obsolete and reducing the appeal of their premium-priced watches. In theory, that’s good for the consumer,…

Top Free and Paid Indoor Cycling Apps – Virtual / Augmented Cycling & Structured Training

Zwift and Peloton are the biggest names in the game for indoor cycling, but they are certainly not the only options out there.
