THE SPORTS BRA

adidas Training TLDR high support bra, £45

 

When it comes to running (or any high-impact moves), bust support is essential. TLDR on the TLRD: it has adjustable criss-cross straps for comfort and lifting, the iconic Trefoil logo, and uses adidas' AEROREADY fabric technology, which works to absorb moisture for ultimate comfort while running.

THE SHORTS

adidas Running own the run shorts, £45

 

These 2-in-1 shorts were made with every runner – from beginner to veteran – in mind. The tight-fitting inner short prevents chafing and provides coverage, while the outer short gives breathability and movement thanks to the curved side seams. They’re finished with an elasticated waist, reflective detailing and AEROREADY technology – so you can focus on the moves that matter.

THE TOP

Puma Run favourite t-shirt, £25

 

With summer on the way, it’s time to shed the layers. Instead of your usual long-sleeve top, opt for a relaxed short-sleeve with an *ergonomic cutline.* In layman’s terms, this top is made to give ultimate freedom of movement, giving your arms the room they need to power through your running rhythm.

Adidas Running Adizero SL trainers in red and orange

THE TRAINERS

adidas Running Adizero SL trainers, £110

 

Here’s another adidas addition – the Adizero SL. These kicks have earned their stripes for a reason: they’re built for speed with a lightstrike foam midsole; they’re lightweight; there’s easy entry via the pull tab, and they have a textured grip tread for conquering the concrete – perfect for marathon weekend.

THE ADD-ONS

Oakley Hydra visor sunglasses, £148

 

If the sun’s got you squinting, try out some visor sunglasses. Not only do they shield your eyes from glare, but they also minimise the amount of sweat that drips into your eyes. Of course, there are style points too – you can style this athletic accessory with almost any colour combination. Finally, don't forget your SPF! While you're keeping your body in shape, give your skin that TLC, too.
