You know you need new running kit when
- …you see your favourite running top advertised as retro style - and yours is an original
- …you notice that your slippers appear to be giving your feet more support than your running shoes
- …you ask to try on a new pair of your current running shoes at the running shop, only to be told they stopped making that model in 2001
- …your running kit seems to have a permanent ‘eau de sweat’, even when it’s just out the wash
- …you’ve got more than one knot, and probably a safety pin, holding the drawstring cord of your leggings together
- …your skin-tight racing tights are now more of a ‘relaxed’ fit
- …you can’t guarantee your running shoes will stay where you leave them after a run as they may crawl off on their own
- …your running socks have become much more breathable than originally advertised - full of holes
- …the tread on your trail running shoes, once the equivalent of a big-foot truck, has become as smooth as Lewis Hamilton’s slicks
- …your elasticated knee support now needs tape to hold it up
- …you find an energy bar in your bum-bag with a 1998 expiry date
- …you ‘test drive’ a new pair of running shoes and feel like you’re walking on the moon
