James - High5 - I have just started using the High5 products. I use the Energy Source orange flavour which tastes great, much better than other similar products on the market and the energy gels which are really easy so swallow. I also like the protein recovery bars.

Matthew - Skins "I have been using Skins since we first started stocking them last year and I really wouldn't run without them. I wear the Skins long tights for most of my training runs and they really do seem to keep Lactic at bay and I feel less fatigued even during my marathon programme (100 miles a week). I have now invested in the shorts to race in and also the recovery tights (which I wear in bed!!) which really do seem to help tired legs "recover".

Ian (customer) on Nuun "I am currently in training for a 6 day charity bike ride in the Alps and have really been suffering after my long rides from headaches caused by dehydration. taking a Nuun tablet after my rides seems to have really sorted out this problem. The tabs are easy to dissolve in a cold drink and taste fine too. They seem to help me recover and replace all the minerals etc. I have lost through sweating. I can really recommend these.
