The Hoka Cielo X1 2.0 is made for racing so Tester Mike laced up Hoka's latest carbon racer to see what it's made of at the 10th edition of the London Winter Run 10k. Along with the Cielo on his feet, Mike also gave the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 the race test treatment as well as the new, sub-£100 Amazfit Active 2 smartwatch to see if it could be a bit of bargain smartwatch buy for runners. (Thanks to Hoka for providing the media race bib. We were not paid to make this video or requested by Hoka to wear Hoka shoes at this race.)
