The Nurvv run smart insoles are a top of the range insole which are placed beneath the footbed of your running shoes and give feedback on how you are running, how to reduce injury risk, and how to improve technique. Being a very injury prone runner, I am always keen to try out anything that may help add more consistency to my running and was excited to give these a go. They did not disappoint.

Fauja Singh, 107, of London, took up running aged 89 and earned a place in the record books as the first centenarian and oldest person to ever complete a marathon. He ran the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in eight hours, 25 minutes and 16 seconds. Aged 100 he also set eight world age records including running the 5K in 49:57.39.
