🏃 Running Essentials

👣 Sorbothane Insoles

My #1 Running Essential — Since Day One

After leaving hospital following my road traffic accident in 1996, Sorbothane insoles were part of my running journey from the very first step. I have used them in every single pair of running trainers I have owned since — through 15 marathons, countless training runs, and parkruns every Saturday morning.

The shock absorption is unmatched. For any runner, but especially for anyone with a history of injury, these are non-negotiable.

Matt’s Record with Sorbothane:

Used since post-hospital recovery 1996
Every pair of trainers for 30 years
15 marathons including London 2025 World Record
Recommends them to every runner he meets

🪝 HaloHeadband

Sweat-Free Running — Every Time

A genuine favourite piece of running kit. The HaloHeadband keeps sweat out of your eyes so you can focus on what matters — the next step, the next mile, the finish line.

I wear mine for every run. If you’ve ever had to wipe your eyes mid-race, you need this.

Why Matt Uses It:

Genuine sweat management on long runs
Comfortable for hours of wear
Works in all British weather
