GADGET GURU
Q JOHN CULMER, TAMWORTH
What’s a good running starter kit?
A It’s that time of year again, is it? Where readers beg flat-foot plodder GaGu to reveal his top-secret jogging tech? Fine. Start with the motivation. Ignore those lithe, gorgeous, matte people pounding the pavement: focus instead on the glistening chunky dudes trying their best. If they can do it, so can you.
You’ll find adequate coaching in the form of a good Couch to 5K app, or a Garmin Connect-compatible tracker, which can help build you a personalised starter program – the Forerunner 45 (£160) is cheap; the Fenix 6 (£530) will carry you further in the, er, long run.
