It’s only taken a global pandemic, but suddenly it seems that everyone is into running.
The amount of runners on the roads and in parks has dramatically increased since lockdown was announced — which isn’t really surprising given how accessible it is to everyone in these circumstances.
Regardless of age, location, or fitness level, going for a run (of any speed or distance) is a great way to get your heart rate up as you get some fresh air.
As always, we’re fully on board with people trying to push themselves — whether you’re putting on a pair of trainers for the first time to attempt a lap around the block, or you have several half-marathons under your belt and want to shave seconds off your PB.
Everyone’s running their own race, and it’s the taking part that counts, right?
Whatever your track record, we have a range of high-quality & high-performance clothing, ideal to see you through from start to finish. Every piece has been specially designed to work with your body — pushing you further, rather than holding you back.
And besides, if this is the only time you’re leaving the house all day, your outfit needs to be on point.
