Best Marathon Kit: Six runners pick out their essential kit for marathons

Описание: The Run Testers have racked up well over 100 marathons between them and that’s just official events - the tally gets out of hand when we starting counting Kieran’s Danube run. In that time we have tested an unfathomable amount of kit and assembled favourites that get used time and time again.

In this video six Testers go through their favourite bits of marathon kit including socks, shorts, nutrition, headphones, hats and EVEN a visor (links to all our picks below). We don’t dive into our shoe picks here, because we bang on about shoes enough elsewhere, but check our running shoe rotations vid for more info on our preferred race shoes:
