This film is sponsored by Bridgedale who have just brought out a new range of trail running socks. They're my fave brand of sock so I was really pleased to I work with them to help design and test them with a team of regular trail and ultra runners.

Incidentally, "Duck Quacks Don't Echo" did a test of a pint of beer and a pint of water for rehydration after a 10km event. Guess which one was better?
