Since taking up my interest in endurance sports up a notch this year, my christmas wish list has changed a lot. It\u2019s centred around tech that what would help me be more outdoorsy as well as things that would improve rest, recovery and relaxing. Like Eliza<\/a>, I\u2019ve learnt a lot in the past year about the beauty of making experiences and I think these items will help in different ways. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Blaze Wear Women\u2019s explorer jacket<\/a>, from \u00a3199.99<\/h4>\n

Ok, so winter 2018 is (so far) proving not to be as beastly as last year. But if the cold, cold snap happens again, I\u2019d love the <\/span>Women\u2019s explorer jacket<\/span><\/a> from Blaze wear. The beauty of this jacket is that it has heated panels sewn in, which should help you keep nice and toasty while exploring the Peak District or urban landscapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pulseroll vibrating foam roller<\/a>, from \u00a3100<\/h4>\n

Foam rolling has taken a new meaning with Pulseroll. The <\/span>foam roller<\/span><\/a> has a vibrating setting and from what those who\u2019ve used it have told me, it\u2019s a game changer.<\/span><\/p>\n

[I think Mara & Bethan have been talking to the same people – check out Bethan’s Christmas Wish list<\/a> too…!]<\/p>\n

\"pulse<\/p>\n

Liv Cycling Envie Advanced 1 bike<\/a>, \u00a32,199<\/h4>\n

My current bike is a bit clunky and heavy. Everyone I know who has a Liv bike has sung praises about the bikes. It\u2019s got to be a tough choice between the <\/span>Envie<\/span><\/a> and Avail. Smooth and effortless to ride as well as a great design, what\u2019s not to love?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"fit<\/p>\n

Nike Metcon 4 Crossfit Shoes<\/a>, \u00a3114.95<\/h4>\n

\"MetconJoining my local crossfit box has been one of the great things I\u2019ve done this year. It\u2019s added a variety to my training and so many times I feel so out of my comfort zone. But you know what, stepping outside your comfort zones will empower you and lead you to achieve things you didn\u2019t necessarily think you could do. With these <\/span>Nike Metcon 4<\/span><\/a>s, very soon I may find myself not only looking like a crossfitter, but they may just give me the magic power to do a handstand and climb a rope. <\/span><\/p>\n

Knomo organiser<\/a>, \u00a359<\/h4>\n

I stumbled across Knomo while out in Covent Garden one weekend recently. Organiser heaven. Simple designs that creatively create space and help you to organise your bag, tote, luggage or rucksack. Whether it\u2019s the <\/span>Beauchamp rucksack<\/span><\/a> or the <\/span>Mayfair Knomad organiser bag<\/span><\/a>, the clever slimline features still let you pack a lot. No more need for trying to find that phone charger cable at the bottom of your bag. Like I said, organiser heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mara<\/p>\n

Neom Scent-to-Make-You Happy candle<\/a>, \u00a330<\/h4>\n

I find candles and oil burners so calming and soothing. Sometimes after a busy week, I just want to fall back on the bed, play my favourite playlists with a scented candle on, its scent wafting through the rooms. The Neom Scent-to-Make-You Happy candle contains <\/span>oils including neroli, mimosa and lemon. Sometimes it\u2019s the little things that make you <\/span>happy<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jaybird – Tarah wireless sport earphones<\/b><\/a>, \u00a389.99<\/p>\n

The <\/span>Tarah earphones from Jaybird <\/span><\/a>have got rave reviews. They\u2019ve got a long battery life to see you through a (very) long run or a gym workout. They\u2019re also durable, sweatproof and the style of the fit of the earbuds means that they apparently will be more secure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Garmin Forerunner 935 watch\u00a0<\/a>, \u00a3389.99 (on sale from \u00a3470)<\/h4>\n

The Garmin Forerunner 935 watch is another with lots of good reviews. Battery life has lasted up to 16 hours for some. Perfect if you\u2019re training for Ironman or another long-distance triathlon and provides a variety of data if you like your numbers. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tropic Like It\u2019s Hot swimming costume<\/a>, \u00a3112.07 (US$140)<\/h4>\n

I love a bit colour and unusual prints in my fit kit. Tri Sirena is an American triathlon brand with the most colourful kit out there.The Tropic Like It\u2019s Hot collection is my favourite, especially <\/span>the swimming costume<\/span><\/a>. If you\u2019re looking to buy from the collections, Tri Sirena is also offering a 10% discount if you use \u2018sirenfitlondoner.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\"fit<\/p>\n

Becoming by Michelle Obama<\/a>, \u00a319.99<\/h4>\n

Just 18 days after its publication, Becoming has become the best-selling book in the US. The snippets I\u2019ve read from reviews give an insightful view into life for Michelle Obama during her time in the White House as well as a humorous story to how she and Barack Obama dated. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mara is a part time personal trainer, part time endurance athlete and blogger. In 2018, she completed her first two triathlons, including Ironman UK, and then went onto to complete a multi-stage desert ultramarathon. She enjoys pushing her limits and motivate others to feel empowered by stepping outside their comfort zones. Mara is also passionate about bringing colour into sport and making the fitness world more inclusive. FYI, dark chocolate is her absolute weakness.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
