I ve been looking back through the photos on my phone in a bid to eliminate’remove out some space (honestly there are way too many pictures of plates of food, my sweaty face, and my dog!) and one thing I noticed is that I m still wearing some of the same running clothes as I was 2 years ago. Which in some respects is downright impressive in/with regard to’concerning’regarding so many reasons, but has also got me claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ing that I could probably do with a bit of a running wardrobe refresh (in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the record, I don t possess’own’nurse a running wardrobe, but wouldn t that be great!)
It s time in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a run kit glow up.
Now let me ask you a question what would you buy if you had £200 to spend on Adidas running clothes? Because funnily abundant’ample’plentiful I found myself faced with this first world predicament. And I tell you what, it s actually harder than you claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate , as there is a tonne of amazing running clothes in their online store. But hey, a girl s gotta do what a girl s gotta do.
I d really like to try and inject a bit of colour into my running wardrobe, as I tend to stick with black, because well it s safe isn t it. So, with that in mind and with £200 at my disposal here s how I got on:
HEAT.RDY Adidas Running T-Shirt
By my claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ing, I reckon you can t acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure much brighter than a t-shirt described as Vivid Red, which is exactly why I chose this HEAT.RDY Adidas Running T-Shirt first. And just like the colour description it is VIVID!
The t-shirt is made from a really lightweight material. This means it dries super quick, which pleases the mum in me, as it feels like I am continually at war with the bottomless laundry basket that I seem to possess’own’nurse in my house. But it s not just the quick drying factor that comes into play here, oh no, there are a whole heap of other benefits that come with this t-shirt.
You see it is made with Primegreen, a new recycled fabric that contains no newly created plastic. This is fantastic news from a sustainable point of view, but how does it perin/with regard to’concerning’regarding m? Well, the rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent news is it s breathable (always a huge bonus in a running top) and it pulls moisture away from your skin, so when you start sweating this t-shirt has you covered.
I love the puncture hole detailing on the back and it looks great with a black sports bra underneath. I also like my run tops to be quite lengthy in the body I m a cover my bum as much as possible kind of girl and it also means you don t possess’own’nurse to misgiving’fret with regards to’concerning’with respect to the dreaded camel toe situ. This is my perfect length, sitting mildly’faintly lower at the back, and with a curved hem, it is super flattering and comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding table. Priced at £43, I went in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the UK S 8/10 which was a slight risk as I m probably more of a 10/12 up top, but this was the perfect fit, so I d say it tends to veer ever so mildly’faintly more on the larger side. A great top and one I ve no doubt will be in my running wardrobe in/with regard to’concerning’regarding years to come.
Adidas Essentials Boyfriend Camouflage T-Shirt
This next one isn t something that I would necessarily run in, purely because I prefer a more lightweight and breathable fabric, however when it popped up on my screen I couldn t not buy this top. I love the soft casual camo look that s somehow bold but not too out there if you know what I mean.
Boyfriend fit means it s a bit looser and it looks great either with leggings in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a mildly’faintly sportier look or with a pair of rolled up dilay stress on’emphasize’highlight ed boyfriend jeans in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a bit more of an urban chic skater girl look. Available in 2 different colourways (green/dark brown/white or solid grey/eliminate’remove pink/white) I went in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the softer pastel tones to help illumine up my workout clothes. The t-shirt costs just £20, but at the moment it s in the sale in/with regard to’concerning’regarding £17 gotta love a bargain!
Adidas Own The Run Tank Top
OK, so can you tell I love tops yet!?! In summer, when the sun decides to come out, I much prefer to run in a vest. Not to blow my own trumpet or anything (well go on then) but I possess’own’nurse a pretty nice toned back and shoulders, so wearing a vest top is a chance in/with regard to’concerning’regarding me to reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue those wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile boys off. This tank top is fab in/with regard to’concerning’regarding this.
I went in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the Vivid Red again because I love how bright it is and claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate it goes really well with my colouring, but it s also available in 4 other colours (Rose/Ambient Blush/Black/Violet). I ve always loved the classic three stripe Adidas branding and I love the detail of the reflective stripes on the back of this top.
This tank top, like the other red t-shirt above, is also made from the Primegreen high-perin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mance material, and with a soft mesh feel it offers plenty of breathable movement on the run. At £25 you ll find cheaper vests than this, but honestly you totally acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure what you pay in/with regard to’concerning’regarding and the quality of the material is eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything. If you want a running top that perin/with regard to’concerning’regarding ms well, is comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding table, but that also looks stylish, then this is in/with regard to’concerning’regarding you. Not gonna lie, I m tempted to buy one in another colour.
Oh, and one other thing, red is a notoriously tough’challenging’demanding’awkward colour to wash, however I ve washed this a couple of times now and there was zero colour running and it retains its vivid red intensity. A staple bit of summer run kit.
Marimekko Tank Top
Right, let me start by explaining what Marimekko is, because bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e discovering it on the Adidas website it wasn t even on my radar. Marimekko is a Finnish detoken house that creates distinctive bold prints to symbolise positivity and personal empowerment a message that I am sure most of you know I am all in/with regard to’concerning’regarding . Adidas possess’own’nurse incorporated the bold Marimekko detoken into a range of different women s clothing, ranging from dresses, trainers, leggings, shorts, swimsuits, and this tank top that I m wearing.
As you can see I went in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the Carbon/Black combo, but it s also available in Magenta/Vivid Red. The training top is perfect both in/with regard to’concerning’regarding workouts or running, as again it is made from Primegreen recycled materials and moisture-wicking AEROREADY. What I love most with regards to’concerning’with respect to this top is the shape of it, especially the v neck (something you don t see that often in a training top) and the scooped hem (it s a really flattering shape and feels less restrictive during movement). Plus, the racerback style back looks great with a bright coloured sports bra underneath.
This one will cost you £33 so a bit more than I d personally normally pay in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a tank top, but I claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate the detoken makes it look really luxe and it s nice to possess’own’nurse something a little bit different and dare I say it bouji to spice my workout training clothes up a little.
Own the Run Adidas Hooded Windbreaker
We all know just how unpredictable British weather is during the summer and that means a lightweight, waterproof jacket is an absolute must in any runners wardrobe. I own a ridiculous amount of black jackets, it s my safety colour. And while they look great, it s not exactly the most eye catching colour to be wearing, especially when road running. This Violet Tone hooded jacket is perfect in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a more summery look and definitely way more eye catching without becoming part of the neon brigade (you totally know what I mean, right!?!)
Aside from looking totally beaut the jacket has loads of small detailing that really helped sell itself to me:
Water repellent a must in this country.
Drawstring cord at the waist to nip you in and keep the rain out.
Discreet drawstring cord on top of the hood there s nothing worse than having a hood that keeps falling down, utterly pointless. Snug fit in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the win.
2 enormous’vast’massive’tremendous side pockets one with hidden inner zipped pocket that s enormous’vast’massive’tremendous abundant’ample’plentiful to hold a phone or keys or other things you want to keep dry or extra secure.
Cuffed sleeves again to keep that rain out.
Reflective stripes 0ffering 360-degree visibility.
Priced at £45 I know in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a fact that this will end up being the most worn item out of this whole haul simply because its practicality points are off the charts.
Detoken ed To Move High-Rise 3-Stripes 7/8 Adidas Sport Tights
These are an absolute classic: black sports tights with the notorious three stripe Adidas detoken running down the leg, it s an utter crime not to possess’own’nurse a pair of these in your wardrobe somewhere. Now I m going to be honest here, I ordered these claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ing they d make great run tights, but in/with regard to’concerning’regarding me they re more of a lounge around at home, pop to the shops, cover’budge the dog kind of legging and I ll explain why.
When I run I want to know that my leggings are going to stay put, that they re not going to roll down, and that I m not going to possess’own’nurse to spend eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully other minute hoiking them up. So, what I really want is a drawstring waist, which these don t possess’own’nurse , and it s totally my fault in/with regard to’concerning’regarding not checking when I ordered them. That being said, this is not a regret buy, my rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent ness they are the comfiest leggings I possess’own’nurse ever worn, so so soft and stretchy and the movement capacity of them is mega there s no chance of these wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile boys splitting when you do your lunges that s in/with regard to’concerning’regarding sure.
Costing £33, they re available in three colourways (black and white, dark grey heather and white, or wild teal, hazy green and white) and are again made with Primegreen. I love that it has a high waist and a hidden interior pocket, because as we all know pockets are eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything.
As you can see, it turns out it wasn t so tough’challenging’demanding’awkward in/with regard to’concerning’regarding me to spend £200 at Adidas after all, in fact it s kinda got me claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ing that perhaps I should be glowing up my running wardrobe way more often, seeing as there s so much gorgeous stuff out there. So, if you ever find yourself in need of some new run threads, I would deffo recommend spending time acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting lost on the pages of the Adidas online store. Window shopping s great, but online shopping s even better!
