I have been a runner for a long time. Not a fast runner. Not a great runner. But someone who loves being outdoors and meeting people who enjoy similar types of adventures. There are many running communities in London and I know I want to reach more people to encourage them to be active too in some capacity.
That is why I thrilled to announce that I am a member of the On Running ROC crew. There are about a dozen of us from all over the UK who will be sharing all the latest and greatest products as ON releases them. While I am not paid for this role, I will be receiving complimentary kit. To start off our LTR, I was allowed to choose several pieces of kit from certain ranges. I love that I was able to choose clothes that fit me and my personal style and preferences, rather than have kit I will never wear (my husband says I have too much running kit already).
For shoes, I chose the waterproof Cloudflyers in sea and glacier and Cloudultra in lavender and eclipse. When I went to the ON Running lab last summer, I found out that the Cloudflyers are a great fit for my feet, as well as the Cloudace. Normally, I am very nervous about investing in new running shoes. I have two makes/models that I know I can run in pain free. Due to Achilles tendinopathy in both feet, I need very cushioned and supportive shoes (I also need to do my physiotherapy and strength train, but it is easier to just buy shoes).
From working with ON over the last few years, I have observed that ON tends to choose natural colors for their kit than flashy neon or my favourite, pink. Of course, black is always an option too. I am loving sea. It is a very pale blue/green. I am only worried about spilling food on it! For kit, I went with the following (photo above link):
Performance T in mulberry and spice
Unisex lightweight cap in blue
Mid socks in sea and rose brown
Over the next year, I will be letting you know about ON sponsored running events (hopefully I will see you at a few), how I am getting on with the products above, and different initiatives ON is developing to make running more inclusive and sustainable. ON is also opening a new flagship store in a different country every month this year. I can’t wait for the London store (which will be located on Regents Street) to open at some point in the autumn.
One other thing, I have a limited number of 20% off ON Running discount codes to share with my readers. Simply email me (mollie@ptmollie.com) and I will send it on over to you.
