Obstacle Mud Runner - issue 6

obstaclemudrunner.co.uk ForEliteAtheletes toFunRunners 4 NEWS : TOP PICKS races/footwear/clothing/nutrition/gossip Hands free towel Now you can use both hands to free yourself from the clutches of your kit without over-exposing yourself. The simple design works perfectly and differs from your standard beach towel, in that it is a towel specifically designed for fast, easy changing. Dryrap is simple, safe & secure changing. The dryrap is a 140cm wide towel (80cm long) with an elasticated waist band that, when no tension is applied, gathers to approx 120 cm length, which can obviously stretch to fit. Due to the adjustable velcro closure, it will fit any size from very small to approx 46” waist.  RRP £19.99 Available at www.dryrobe.com Wrongens® Retreats One to watch from the ever expanding Wrongens group is the very exciting chain of Wrongens Retreats, the first of which is currently under refurbishment in Northern Bulgaria. There’s plenty of countryside and woodlands for running or walks for as far as the eye can see, mountain biking will be available and kayaking on the nearby river. There’ll be a small obstacle play area in the garden, gym, pool and outside bar, which will be perfect for the summer months and watching the sun go down over the beautiful countryside. The local village is a short walk away and further afield the closest town offers indoor rock climbing and nearby skiing. Prices from £300 per week for 6 people, that’s just £50 per head on a self catering basis. Long term, there will be various locations throughout Europe and long long term the USA hopefully. These pads will act as a perfect base for if you’re doing an OCR abroad or if you’d like to simply get a few mates together and kick back and relax.

An astonishing 25% of the population are plagued with fungal infections, yet a large number of people are still unable to identify the problem or do not use effective products, meaning infections often re-occur. Excilor® is available in two easy applicators, the Pen and the Solution. It takes just one minute to apply and unlike other treatments requires no filing down of the nail, results are visible as soon as the nail starts to grow back. RRP £18.99 Available from Boots.com The Storm You’ve beaten The Elements. Now there’s a storm brewing, can you beat it? Registration is open now but will close as soon as waves are full. Do you have what it takes to beat The Storm? www.theelementsocr.co.uk @theelementsocr Another genius idea from KitBrix. KitBrix has used an old military technique of separating kit and equipment and created the KitBrix KitStraps. Simply insert the hook end of the strap through the buckle. Pull the hook end back over until the strap body is wrapped tightly. Perfect for expeditions where different daily kit requires separation as well as activity breaks where multiple items run the risk of being packed loose in the same bag. The KitBrix KitStraps are packed 5 to a bundle. RRP £10 No one likes messy kit. Stow your gear. Always prepared. No fuss, just organised kit. #keepittogether www.kitbrix.co.uk
