Before you buy
Common Beginner Mistakes
Wearing a fashion sports bra without high-impact support — running demands proper hold, especially at pace
Choosing leggings that chafe on the inner thigh during longer distances
Overdressing for the temperature — you warm up within the first mile, so dress for 10 degrees warmer than it feels
Prioritising style over fit — poorly fitting kit makes every run harder than it needs to be
