Congratulations on getting to week 6, not long left no until you graduate. Be careful of the interval runs at the beginning of week 6, after the long run at the end of week 5 the 2 interval runs threw people a little (myself included).

I'd like to say I know what you mean with regards to running clothes, I'm a large guy and for some reason, most of the sports clothes manufacturers make the assumption no one over a 2XL can run or would want to wear that type of clothing.

I’m with you on this, being larger myself. I have to buy men’s XXL, the shape is odd but they largely fit. I find supermarket or Matalan sportswear are usually more generous with the size range, but not sure about gents

I have a couple of pairs of shorts and I bought a 5XL technical t-shirt off of eBay, not because I'm a 5XL but I prefer baggy clothes. I do have 3XL technical t-shirts that fit but they make me feel uncomfortable.

Good on you! I know about the clothes, too. But there is a gap in the market for some animal print running gear if you ask me! Like a bit of leopard when I leave the house πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
