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

Ooh, and they feel good lol 😁

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

I'm a happy boy now 😬

Their website is a bit weird so you have to be thorough to make sure you don’t miss anything I recently got their trail shorts. I love them. Got quite a bit of stuff from there TBH ☺️ Might get the trail soft shell to match. Well my husband might 😁. It’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.

🀣🀣🀣 it's bizarre the stuff we all own now! It really does pay dividends to have the right kit though! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜

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

Instructor57Graduate in reply to nowster

Haha 😁

They remind me when I used to have to wear long John's under a flying suit 😁

Birdlady64Graduate in reply to Instructor57

You will be wearing them all the time then πŸ˜‚

I’ve got 2 pairs of running tights, they’re great πŸ‘ I find shorts keep riding up as I run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ running tights seem to offer support to your leg muscles too.

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate

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

Your secret is safe πŸ˜‚

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

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate in reply to Maxi80

Probably, although it was mainly for something a bit warmer for me, it was cold at 6am this morning 😁

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
Instructor57Graduate in reply to Roxdog

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 πŸ™‚πŸ‘

Can’t speak for the rights but you will love the running socks πŸ§¦πŸ‘Œ

The tights are soooo nice 😬🦡 πŸ˜‚

I already have running socks but just thought I'd pick up some more while there 😁

Haha, well done, that’s you sorted for the colder weather!! I’m going to take a peek at Decathlon online as I only have sleeveless running tops, getting quite cold in the mornings now!!

Instructor57Graduate in reply to Sussex13

Yes, that's all i had too and wanted a couple of long sleeve ones as well as the tights
