In February B2P sports would like to offer all Tri247 readers the opportunity to   win a pair of the fantastic Sir or Lady Isaac Guidance Trainers.

To   discover your best running form all you need to do is run barefoot. You&#039;ll   immediately discover that when barefoot you&#039;re not landing on your heels, you&#039;re   striking on your forefoot.  Striking on your forefoot is the most natural way to   run, it is also the fastest and most efficient way to run. Newton Running shoes   were developed to make your feet think they&#039;re barefoot and increase your   performance.
The Sir and Lady Isaac offers intelligent control for all   foot types. The Isaac is a neutral guidance trainer designed for runners   committed to improving their running form to the more efficient midfoot/forefoot   running style. Utilizing Newton&#039;s Action/Reaction technology they provide up to   40% more energy return than conventional running shoes whilst guiding you into a   more natural form of running.
