Well that's something I NEVER thought I'd be admitting haha ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ooh, and they feel good lol ๐Ÿ˜

I found out where my nearest Decathlon store was (50 mins drive) and went and bought tights , running socks and 2 tops ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm a happy boy now ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Their website is a bit weird so you have to be thorough to make sure you donโ€™t miss anything I recently got their trail shorts. I love them. Got quite a bit of stuff from there TBH โ˜บ๏ธ Might get the trail soft shell to match. Well my husband might ๐Ÿ˜. Itโ€™s birthday list time

I got running top & shorts from decathlon, brilliant but best buy was compression socks to stop the shin splints pain...recommend them to anyone suffering condition.

Confession time. I want out in Week 2 (July) in compression tights, but wore cotton joggers over the top of them. ๐Ÿคซ

Iโ€™ve got 2 pairs of running tights, theyโ€™re great ๐Ÿ‘ I find shorts keep riding up as I run ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ running tights seem to offer support to your leg muscles too.

Instructor57Graduate

Yes, I think I'm going to prefer them to shorts ๐Ÿ‘

Your secret is safe ๐Ÿ˜‚

On a serious note, I presume they just give more support than shorts? I might start wearing mine.

Probably, although it was mainly for something a bit warmer for me, it was cold at 6am this morning ๐Ÿ˜

A convert! I'm sure they'll keep you warm. Never realised men's running gear was so complicated - shorts or no shorts! Decathlon is great if you can get the sizing right!

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduateโ€ข in reply toRoxdog

Yes, that's why I went to the store so I could physically see the sizes , didn't try on as they are discouraging that but just to hold them up and to see the quality helped ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

I already have running socks but just thought I'd pick up some more while there ๐Ÿ˜
