    I have some good news for you - your Deviate Nitro 3s have a full length carbon plate, so no real need to "go carbon"! I like my Deviates. They are not the lightest, but they wear well, which is good compensation.

    This weekend I have witnessed commitment to the nth degree... Now I am relatively obsessed with running ridiculous distances and running a lot... Thus, because I was off to a music festival this weekend I crammed all training blocks into pre festy and went off to join the great unwashed for some good old fashioned debauchery (chai tea and Richard ashcroft with glitter and sequins) imagine my horror when whilst rambling down to find some wholesome brekky( manufactured from unicorn smiles) I was forced to take evasive action whilst the FESTIVAL PARKRUN happened.... I found myself nodding along and tutting with all the other folk.. Bloody fools, this is a festival, how very dare they wear lycra and puff around it.. I went a bit judas and pretended I was horrified 🎉... To be fair the most shocking thing was that one of them had a hydration vest.. FOR 5K FFS...
