I want to get a tracksuit type thing to wear before a race to keep me warm and toasty before and after a race. Doing the Inverness 1/2 next weekend and would like one for then. Can't find a decent one anywhere which is actually meant for people doing sport. They're all bloomin Ellesse and Kappa etc and I don't want to end up looking like a chav.
Any ideas on where to find one? I've tried just about all the shops in the shopping links on here.

Get down to Aldi and they're doing jackets and long tights for next to nuffink. At least you can wear them for sport, and just put them over your kit.
TIghts/trackster. If you don't want this get just bottoms from a sports shop.
Team this with a running jacket or fleece
you need one of those all in one padded things the rugby players wear when they are on the bench
I was at the footie last night, and wore a t-shirt, wooly jumper, fleece, waterproof, hat, scarf, thermal gloves, leggings, fleece trouser, 2 pairs of socks and walking boots with thermal insoles.
I was almost warm...............
except I am going skiing on Saturday so need all my padding to keep ME warm!
Will probably just get cheap joggy bums and a fleecy top.
Inverness - I am anticipating being frozen at the end of it.
FB - a lot of help you turned out to be!
Very useful - I'm surprised that they are so hard to find.
Was so cold last year i got rain scald through my leggings!!!!
Why did you hate the 1/2 last year? If it was the weather, it sounds like my first 1/2 which I did in November in Fraserburgh. Near zero temperature, sleet, hail, a gale. Horrible! Inverness will surely be lovely after that.
Go to the events forum page - there's a thread there re forumites meeting up before the race start.
Dunno my number - I'll need to look at home and see what it is.
Twinks - that sounds very similar to Inverness last year. I had to stop to tie a lace, and it took 10 minutes because my hands were so cold. Must be better this year!
Fraserburgh was horrible. There was ice on the old railway line we were running on, lots of mud, sleet and hail which were being driven into our faces by the wind, which no matter which way we were running, was in our faces! I figure whatever weather we get on sunday has got to be better than that!
I was in such pain after and had to sit in the car with my head in a bag trying not to be sick then slept the rest of the afternoon as I felt poorly.
If I dont have good memories of a race I tend not to do them again.
There is about 30 people from our club going up this year 1/2 are flying direct to Inverness and the others to Glasgow then driving. Think going direct is better.
Will have a look on forum and look out for people.
