Top Kit Tips

Not sure what to wear? Have a look at my top kit tips.

The Runtogether main site also has as a useful kit page you can also read through. 

My top tips:

  • Make sure your kit is comfortable! If it itches, is too tight or isn’t breathable you won’t enjoy your run. Buy the right size for you and test different makes to see what suits YOU. 
  • Kit doesn’t need to be expensive to work for you. Large supermarkets, retail fashion stores and budget sports shops have plenty to offer if you’re just starting out or just fancy a change. 
  • Trainers - these and your socks are your best friend. Again try lots, get advice in a good shop from a trained fitter and match your socks when you buy your shoes so you can fit winter and summer socks inside your trainers! 
  • Layers- you can run all year round if you choose to. Layer up and go. 
  • Sports watches/ devices. These are great but you don’t need one necessarily. Your smart phone and you’re own brain are pretty good at tracking the basics without costing you more money whilst you get started on your running journey.
