Jenny
Former British Orienteering Champion now getting into climbing but most weekends are spent running round a forest somewhere in the UK or Europe and this year I joint planned the British Long Championships in Wharncliffe Woods with my husband.
Whilst out in Vancouver for the Arc'teryx S12 Sales Meeting I competed in the first ever Whistler Half Marathon managing 94.30 in my first race over this distance.
I've been at Big Stone for 4 years now and am the dealer services rep for Arc'teryx in the UK also offering support to Andy, Jamie, Ryan and Joe when they're out of the office and at shows. I'm lucky enough to have Fridays off so every weekend is a long weekend with plenty of time to get out to the crags/forests/moors.
Favourite Arcteryx products:
Atom LT and SV Hoody: fantastic smart and functional insulated jacket - perfect for cold, wet England in town or out in the wilds. I'm lucky enough to be able to just the LT or SV depending on how cold it is!
Solita shorts: virtually every run I do is in these now, look and feel great but unfortunately don't seem to make me go any faster.
Phase AR Crew: fantastic wicking base-layer - perfect for rainy or snowy, hilly runs and coaching junior orienteers (very stop-start!).
Favourite 5.10 products:
Sirens: the perfect shoe for the relatively new climber - they give me extra confidence on the wall and rock which I definitely need.
Basics: great for wearing in the office and heading out for a coffee - summer or winter, and even on a ride occasionally!
Favourite Smartwool products:
PhD ski socks: an absolute lifesaver in winter whether orienteering in the snowy forests, ski-ing or heading into town in my knee-high boots!
Reversible training beanie: warmest hat I've ever run in despite also being the lightest. Especially good in Magenta.
Training gloves: great for running in in cold weather
Compression socks: great for after heavy training sessions (I have been known to sleep in them) and long haul flights.
