Fitness Wardrobe Update

Good evening lovelies!

This week I have indulged slightly, and not in chocolate, bread or crisps as you may think (read my post below if you don't understand!).

I have been doing a little bit 
of shopping. 

It might have been 2 whole months since I've bought any new clothes, fitness or regular and it's starting to almost feel spring-like here in the UK. I thought all this meant it was the perfect time to revamp the fitness wardrobe a little.

I'm constantly browsing Nike's official website and www.wiggle.co.uk looking at what's new and what's on offer. Earlier this week there were a few bits which sparked an order from each of these sites.. oops!

Here's what I picked up: 

From Wiggle 
                             



Nike Women's Victory Compression Bra in Lagoon/White 
+
Nike Women's Pro Bra in Black/White
Black - £14.95
Lagoon - £20.70 
Now, I'm not sure why these have two different names, because to me they look exactly the same, but these are the basically the original Nike Pro sports bras. I bought my first one of these (in pink!) over 5 years ago and have never looked back. These are super comfortable, come in some very cool colours and give me the support I need. As the black one was on super sale I decided it was necessary to stock up.


Nike Women's Pro Indy Freeze Frame Bra in Black/White
£30.00
I saw this sports bra and just couldn't resist. It's a low impact bra, but since I have been doing lots of yoga recently and the design was super cute I had to add it to the basket. 


DHB Women's Powerguard Compression Top Long Sleeve Top in Black
£22.49
I've been looking for a black base layer for a while to wear at the Brighton Half Marathon in just over two weeks time. This was on super sale so I decided I've give it a go. The material feels really good quality so hopefully it does the job! 


1000 Mile Ultimate Compression Sock in White and in Black
£11.99 a pair
Since having the Nike Elite Compression Socks in my life I have decided that compression socks make the world go round. I love wearing them during and after my runs! Splurging on another pair of Nike ones seemed silly so I thought I would try these out. The reviews I've seen are good, so fingers crossed! 


I also found out about Wiggle's Gold and Platinum membership. If you've spent more than £100 in the past year you'll get a 5% discount and if you've spend more than £500 in the past year you'll get a 12% discount off all full price items. Pretty awesome, right? 

From Nike

                           



Nike Pro Classic Swift Sports Bra
£26
This is what made me make this order. I am in love with the design of this sports bra. How good is this going to look on summer evening runs? So excited to wear it! 


Nike Pro 3" Core Compression Logo Shorts
£23
I spotted these on @elle_fit 's Instagram the other day and loved them, so when I saw that they were available I just had to pick them up. Although I won't look nearly as good as her in them, I love the Nike Pro shorts and just keep on collecting them in all different colours. It'll be really handy having a go-to black pair now. 


Nike 'Fearless' T-Shirt
Nike Signal Shine Top
£17.49 each
These two tops were reduced from £25 each and are super cute. I love the 'Fearless' statement and the bold Nike logo. These will be perfect for kettlebells classes as it warms up in the next few months. I picked these up in XS as I thought they might be oversized and I was right. I'm normally a Nike S but these fit comfortably loose (if that makes sense?!). 


Nike Pro Long Sleeve V-Neck in Purple
£17.49
I have saved the best 'til last for sure today. I picked this up because it looked cute, I love purple and it was on sale! As soon as I put it on it was decided that this is the BEST baselayer I have ever had. It's thin, but well fitted and has incredibly long sleeves with the most comfortable thumb hole in the world (I can't stand tops with uncomfortable thumb holes.. weird but true!). I wore this top to circuits class tonight and it passed the workout test!


Those are all of my purchases :) I hope you enjoyed looking at the hole I have put in my bank balance... but at least now I'm stocked up and won't be needing to buy anything else until it gets cold again around October! If you happen to see any tweets (@marathonharryy) tempted to buy more workout gear, please, please discourage me! 


What's your favourite sports bra? 

Do you have any holy grail workout gear that you keep on re-purchasing?

  1. I'm a fan of Target's Champion workout line. Their bras are very comfy, but don't offer the kind of support that I need for running. That perfect running bra is illusive!

    I am also a fan of Athleta and Lucy. Lucy has the BEST running capris and great sales. I also love that they offer a 30% discount for fitness instructors.
