So I've been running now for a few years and have stuck to compression shorts/running tights (under a pair of shorts - no budgie smuggling allowed!!) and then just a running tshirt (long/short sleeved technical top)..........
I've always looked at running in trackies or with a jacket/windbreaker as an extra weight/inconvenience but more and more people I see now in the winter are wearing them....
Whats the pros/cons for running with added layers of this kind?
Comments
I did think the same thing - wasnt sure if there was either:
a - Some benifit to getting hotter, therefore sweating more and burning more calories (weight-loss)
b - A sense of commardery if you do happen to become mixed up in a JD looting spree
Thanks for putting my mind at ease that I'm better off keeping to what I know.....
Next you will be saying those that run in mainstream branded shoes are chavs too,
talk about stereotyping (I know it was meant in jest but still not remotely funny)
Nothing wrong with trackies. I hardly think weight is an issue. They are pretty light weight pieces of clothing.
Its all down to personal preference I suppose, but on a below freezing evening like today I was glad of my trackies.
By trackies do you mean tracksuit bottoms or Ron Hill tracksters?
Shorts for faster runs regardless of the weather, tracksters for steady and slow runs on cold days. Hardly know I'm wearing them. Not chavvy but great for that 1970s PE teacher chic, grow your sideburns to match.
