Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Intriguing. Not sure what that will mean for me but intriguing all the same.

Is this a big change from their current choice, options, etc, do you know? There's a few I've not tried, roclites being the obvious despite occasionally thinking of getting them, but I do favour some of their shoes over others.

We discussed the new Mudtalon Speed a couple of pages back.

Well, there's a non-Speed version coming in March, ie just Mudtalon. Described as

"Compared to the MUDTALON SPEED, the MUDTALON has a slightly thicker midsole, to give greater comfort and bounce over long distances"

Still the same 8mm lugs, difference in midsole is 11mm/7mm so 4mm drop for Speed, and 18mm/12mm so 6mm drop for the non Speed.

Again comes in both Precision and WIde fit

Weight has only gone up a claimed 5g from 260g to 265g.

Does this sound like a replacement for the X-Talon Ultra v2 ??

inov-8.com

Oh and other thing is it's cheaper, more is less :-) £120 v £130 for the Speed

We've just booked our first lakes trip in March. Staying in Ambleside, but no car. Any "don't miss" runs you recommend?

Doesn't have to be famous bits, I prefer quiet locations and happy to get buses to places.

If you fancy a bigger day out, bus around to Troutbeck, then up to Nan Bield and round the Kentmeer Horseshoe. One of my favourite training routes.

From Ambleside you can do a loop that takes in Baystones and Wansfell By Pike.

I’ve just picked up a pair of Innov8 212s from the Sportshoes website. looks like they have some decent prices on there at the moment.
There is also a 15% discount code in the Telegraph for February.

Thank you Dave A. Not sure how much kit I can afford at the moment but I need a few bits including probably an entire fleet of trainers.

My Xtalons haven’t recovered from climbing on gabbro, not even shoe goo will save them for anything else other than a few local runs round fields do had to buy some more at some point t.
