Kitted out: Mr Carney out running in Hyde Park . Just how many water bottles does a man need when running? If you’re the governor of the Bank of England, the answer seems to be four. Mark Carney was spotted on a day off from helping to run the economy jogging in London’s Hyde Park sporting a high-tech running belt with no fewer than four water bottles. The keen runner, who training for the London Marathon later this month, was wearing a Nathan Speed 4 Fuel Belt, which also features a zip pocket perfect for storing high-carb energy gel packs. The belt is available for $64.95 (£35) at Kintec, a Canadian sports retailer based in Vancouver, suggesting Mr Carney, originally from Canada, bought it before he moved to the UK. He was also wearing headphones and top-of-the range running shoes. His adidas Energy Boost ESM Shoes, in green and black, cost £120. According to the manufacturer, ‘more boost beneath your feet means more fuel in your tank’. They feature a ‘form-fitting techfit® upper’ which is ‘engineered for natural, flexible support and a seamless, sock-like fit’, the firm’s website states. Mr Carney, in charge of the world’s sixth largest economy, completed his look with a grey jumper, which was drenched in sweat by the end of his training session. The father of four daughters, who turned 50 last week, is known to be a keen sportsman and likes to keep fit. At Harvard, he played in goal for his ice hockey team. In 2011, he completed in Canada’s Ottawa marathon, finishing the 26.2-mile sprint in just three hours and 48 minutes in 2011 – an hour and 40 minutes shy of the winning time that year. He continued running when he moved to London to become the Bank of England chief in 2013, and is known to sometimes run from his home to Bank’s headquarters in the City of London to avoid the traffic. ‘Like many other Londoners I do run to work or home from work from time to time,’ he said in an interview. He will be running the London Marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK, a Bank of England spokesman announced in January.
