Every year I ask Santa for a minute off my 5K time, but much like the raleigh chopper I wanted as a young fella, I'm still waiting
😂😂😂😂 One day...
I’m not under the illusion that everyone is restricted to my tiny Christmas budget… but a Watt bike 😂. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one… 😂
P.S. rest of the suggestions are great. As part of a running family it feels like everyone always has everything… except a Watt bike lol
Trust me, my budget isn't that either. I did explain that I'd ask for it for the next 5 christmas's and birthdays combined. But y'know - some people do these things!
@@gillbla haha you are forgiven. Great suggestions 🙌🏻
@@ColeRunning phew!! I was concerned I was on the naughty list there 😉. Also at 20 weeks pregnant I'm basically in love with anything which enables be to keep my running fitness!
@gillbla I couldn't run for 2019 and 2020 due to a rare medical condition. I also couldn't use an outdoor bike since I would lose strength in my arms and sometimes couldn't steer or brake. I got a Taxc Indoor bike and when I returned to running after two years I immediately took 2 minutes off my 5km time. Combining running and indoor cycling since then I am now sub 18 minutes for 5km at 49 yrs. Certainly works!
An alternative to the Watt Bike is the Concept2 Bike ERG.
Cost is only $1100 and it has a 5 year warranty.
It's made mostly of aluminium so only weighs 53 pounds making it easy to move.
It broadcasts as a Smart Trainer power cadence etc. I connected to my Garmin watch and use its suggested power based workouts.
I've had it 1.5 years and rode 200 hours. I'm very pleased.
I agree it complements my running. I like it for recovery.
The Watt bike probably has more features, but costs 2.5x more. For the same money you can buy the Bike ERG and Row ERG.
I really need those gloves for the touchscreen
May be a bit too much about a Watt bike 😂
Sorry...that was always going to get me blacklisted 😂 ...I'm still a fully commited runner, I promise! I was just surprised how it actually helped rather than just being an injury -crutch . But yes very very much an 'if I win the lottery' situation.
Waffles are disappointing but Veloforte are amazing, great overall suggestions
Strong disagree. The waffles are ace. Work well when you roll into an aid station after 9 hours of running and want something with a different texture to bars, sweets, chews, bananas, bread and all that stuff.
@@TheRunTesters enjoy
£2,399 for an xmas gift! Would love Gill to have me in secret santa 😂
If anyone is my family watches this, don’t buy me anything off this list.
You’re on the naughty list anyway 😉
Do you guys did something reasonably priced? Most of all these products are out of the reach of the average runner. Sorry, i love your page but this segment doesn't cater to all runners.
What’s your budget? Let us know and we’ll make some recommendations.
@@TheRunTesters apart from the sportswatch which I acknowledged can be on the steep side...IF you want indept features surely there must be earbuds around the £50 range that can do a good job as well as books, gloves, windbreaker etc. All within the £50 range. You guys are the experts so there must be something out there for us without deep pockets. My honest opinion and thoughts.
@@TheRunTesters £50 and below
Buy cheap and buy twice/three times/four times when it comes to things like headphones or watches or heart rate monitors. I thought there were pretty good sub-£50 recommendations (books, gloves, gels, creams, bars), it's just not worth recommending certain products (especially electronics) below a certain price as you'll be gifting something that isn't going to get used.
