Sports bras...

Thank god for M&S.

I've finally been able to add another piece of kit to my collection. Sorry guys.... talking ladies bits here.

Was looking around for a decent sports bra to no avail. Couldn't find my size in a decent high impact Sports bra. Either always sold out or just way over priced.

Managed to find one in the sales in M&S today though. Original price £30, online sale £19 but I got it for £10 in store. I'm actually really happy. Fits so nice aswell. These bad boys of mine are finally going to be restrained. Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow when I start Week 4.

Good find..!! Isn't it funny how we can get so excited over a new sports bra..?? 😂😂

Well done completing W3 and good luck with week 4 - you're going to smash it 🤗

I was more than excited because I was beginning to think that I was going to have to pay almost £40 for one, so to get one for £10, happy days.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. I've got my nerves under control now. Just praying I can run the 5 mins non stop.

They're so expensive, I'm surprised ladies don't resort to cling film..!! 😱😂

I've just done W4R3 tonight. Felt great. When I started the week I did need a good LOUD dose of 'Pink!' to get me in the zone and keep me going. First one was a toughie, the next 2 were much better.

You are definitely going to smash it..!! 😉

Great bra - I used an M&S ultra high impact after reconstruction after having a mastectomy, and it kept everything tied down.

And what a bargain - you can't beat a bargain, I always say.

SO much kit, now you'll have to keep running...;-)

My Stepmum bought these following mastectomy and reconstruction, her surgeon actually recommended them to her! Hope you continue to stay well x

Don't worry I intend too. Will definitely be testing it out over the coming weeks and if it goes well, I'll invest in a couple more.

Love a bargain! Mine's M & S too - it's great, you can always trust M & S for underwear, I don't get on with their clothes though. Week 4 for you, that's gone quick! Good luck, hope you are enjoying it :)

Trusted old M&S. I'm still loving it. Every new weeks brings alittle worry but that's soon nipped in the bud once I complete the 1st run.

Can't wait for the morning to come around so I can get going.

Glad you've struck gold - I'm a Decathlon flopper-stopper fan myself, but if there were still M&S stores in France I'd be down there like a shot. I love their underwear. M&S never let a girl down. (Their knickers were the only thing that stopped my sister falling out of a tree when we were little - I was so hysterical with laughter to see her hanging off the branch by her kecks that I took ages to get inside to alert my parents).
