Claire is training for her first marathon

Claire runs five days a week and has just signed up for her first marathon. She is the friend who talks about splits at dinner — and she would always choose useful kit over another ornament.

What Karido understands

The details that turn a generic idea into a personal one

The person

Road and trail running, half marathons, Saturday parkrun and running podcasts.

Their taste

Look for. Technical fabrics, muted colours and durable gear that earns its place in her small Lyon flat.

Avoid. Perfume, jewellery, scented candles, novelty mugs and anything decorative for the home.

The moment

Occasion. Birthday, April.

The detail that matters

Her first marathon is in April and blisters keep interrupting her long runs.
