Best Running Gear

[loobie]

Hey all,

I am just wondering what would be the best legwear to wear when running. I am doing my first 10k in October and want to be wearing the right gear!!
Any advice appreciated.

i have several pairs of good quality 3/4 length training pants, very comfy and warm adidas are my faves, worth spending a bit of cash to get good one's tho

Thanks mccfluff, just one question - are they baggy pants or tighter ones? Thanks for the help!!

[mccfluff]

tight ones, for running, baggy for in the gym, don't know why just works for me

Cool, thanks for that. I shall have to have a look around!!

The 'right' gear is what you feel comfortable wearing / running in.

I run in shorts at the moment but when the weather changes I will wear a pair of tight tracksuit trousers under the shorts.

I never feel comfortable running in waterproof trousers, though, so usually just wear a waterproof top when it rains.

That's what suits me, so it's 'right'. I really don't care whether it's fashionable or this season's colour...

Thanks Bigmac - Please don't think I meant I wanna know what the latest gear is. I did mean it for comfort wise as I am new to running so am experimenting with different clothes. I don't care what I look like, just how comfy I am and whether I'll make it to the finish line!!!
Thanks for your advice.
