Freebie Alerts

Here are some recent freebies that stuck out in my mind. Free in the sense that you buy something else and get this for free (or better).

Freebie Alerts: Coros, Whoop, Brooks & HokaCoros

For a long time, you have been able to get a free watch band with any Coros watch when you buy from this link with this code (THE5KRUNNER). However, I don’t know about you but watchstraps don’t excite me too much.

I am (I really am) an easy touch if arm sleeves are brought into the freebie equation. You can guess what’s coming…a free Coros armband with every watch (there are 300 and they will sell out this week).

Freebie Alerts: Coros, Whoop, Brooks & Hoka

 

Hoka

The new maximally cushioned Hoka Bondi has been upgraded to the ‘X’ version. That means it gets the addition of Hoka’s carbon sole plate tech for a little extra spring.

If you’re not convinced about this there is effectively a free 30-day trial. If you don’t like them you can return them with no questions asked for a full refund.

Hoka Bondi X Launch

 

Brooks Running – Free 90 (ninety!) day trial

Brooks has a similar trial to Hoka except theirs last for 90 days. Wow…3 months!

Check out the details here: brooksrunning.com

 

when is whoop shipping?WHOOP – Free WHOOP 4.0 Band and Free one-month subscription (yes really)

New customers get a totally free WHOOP 4.0 Band, that’s the one with the improved optical sensor and a further one month’s subscription for free (that’s £30/$30)

My favourite kit and nutrition

  • Injinji – Runners protect your toes. Avoid discomfort and minor injury. Run more. Run faster. I use them.
  • Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — The small adapter that keeps your charging cables tidy. Essential for race day. I use one.
  • Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session. I use one.
  • Ravemen FR300 — Front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters. I use one.
  • Body Glide – The blue anti-chafe stick that all swimmers and many runners use. I use it.
  • Maurten — The race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mixes engineered to be easy on the stomach. I use them.
  • Garmin Varia RTL515 — A radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch. I use this model.
  • Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — The power-meter pedals most serious cyclists choose. Accurate, easy to move between bikes. I use this model.
  • Garmin Forerunner 970 — A serious choice for a pro-grade triathlon watch. I use this.

  • Wahoo ELEMNT Roam 3 — The bike computer that has the feature Garmin lacks: usability. I use mine on most rides.
