Running Army Style

>>01 December 2004

From bootcamp aerobics to bootcamp boots, the Army is getting well and truly stuck into the fitness world. With six Army athletes at the last Olympics (plus former Army trainer and double gold medallist Kelly Holmes), it made perfect sense to engineer an Army running shoe. You can buy the PT-03 for £79. Call 0870-403 1400, or visit www.ukgear.com for stockists.
