5 Best Prams For Runners!
The weather’s getting warmer. This summer, why not take your little one along on your training runs?
With so many impressive running strollers to choose from, it’s difficult to see where high performance stops and comfort begins. The Thule Glide (R8 999) has an economical design for the runner, and a comfortable seat for baby.
You can choose your own handlebar height, for efficient posture, and take the stroller on gravel paths, safe in the knowledge the 45cm rear-suspension wheels and reclining padded seat will keep your passenger safe – so comfortable, your baby may even fall asleep!
A fixed 40cm front wheel keeps the trajectory true, and you’ll be surprised how little energy you spend pushing it on flat sections.
The Thule Glide is the fastest pram over the half-marathon distance. Calum Neff was at the helm, pushing his 11-month-old daughter Holland, when he achieved the current world record: 1:11.27!
