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!

In the new year I am looking to start running to and from work.

Can anyone recommend a bag I could buy?

It only needs to be big enough to carry clothes for work, lunch & towel.

Tesco bag? If you come to Scotland you can buy one for 5p.

I use an Inov-8 Race Pro 18. I think it's now an 'old' model, but you still see them available. Fits a change of clothes, shoes, lightweight towel and room for some food. I see from my log that we have now run together for 1,392 miles and 188.4 hours - and I've been very happy with it.

Karrimor don't do my bag (Elite Hydro 15) any more, which is a shame because it's been excellent. Closest I can find is an X-Lite, although they seem very cheap so not sure how well made or robust they are these days.

I reckon 15litres is probably enough, more than 20l will almost certainly be too bulky for running.
