At the moment I have one pair of Karrimore 3/4 length tights and 2 tops in black & pink, bra, audio belt, socks and trainers. So I wouldn't mind some more tights and a jacket incase of light rain. I am sure there are other things I can find! ;-) SD is only a 10 minute walk from where I live!

Oh Panda! I'm very jealous, let us in on your list...

I would highly recommend grabbing one or two of these

sportsdirect.com/campri-the...

The discount is enormous and they are a great weight for running in the morning or evening. The material is great quality, they wash well and they somehow manage to remain un-smelly irrelevant of how much I sweat!

I've got a purple one and have been thinking I'll get another :)

Wow the top looks great. What are the sizes like? I bet they don't have them in store at that price to try/buy!

They are great. I read the reviews online and they seemed to indicate they came in on the large side. I bought an 8 when I'm normally a 10 and that was the right decision.

If you are looking in store they came packed in a pink little box rather than on a hanger :)

Oh I will walk round there today and have a look! Walking to my retail therapy sessions is part of my exercise regime! ;-)

I bought a black one today. They only had a few left in store. But for £2.29 wasn't bothered about the colour! Also bought a Karrimor black/pink light jacket for £17.99. It quite chilly here today so I thought together they would come in handy to travel (by bus) to parkrun in the morning.

I did the RFL bout 5 years ago ( and then stopped!!) and I wanted to buy something. They didn't have any T shirts left so I bought a Sun visor not thinking I would ever use it.But it nas been fantastic in the past weeks.It keeps hair away from my face,stops the glare absorbs sweat ( yuck) and protects face from Sun.So I would highly recommend...oh and if there were people passing they can't see your face!!

I bought myself a pink hat for RFL but haven't wore it yet for running. My son said it looks stupid! Haha! What does he know! ;-)

It's just basics for now but I'm sure I will keep adding to it! ;-) the shop is a 10 minute walk from where I live so often find myself in there! ;-)

I shall be going along there soon looking for gear for my upcoming run.

Has anyone got one of these? I like the look of em but wondered if they're safe. They look a bit dangerous to me if you get my drift

I like the look of the vest type tops but I would feel far too self-conscious wearing one! You'd need a good crop top running bra in a contrasting colour to go underneath it. Hope you have great shopping trip! I may until my graduation and have my spend as a treat for then! :-)
