Hello there, welcome to RunPod. We are back. I'm Jenny Faulkner and I am joined with Editor of Women's Running magazine, Esther Newman, and also Shopping Editor at British DQ, Aaron Tomazoo. We are talking all things running kit in this episode.

So what do you need? How much is it going to cost? Is it worth buying? Well, this is the place you need to be.

So if you're outrunning and you are listening to this and you're thinking, oh, I could do with

some nicer leggings that don't fall down.

We'll keep listening because you might get some ideas in this episode.

Let's go straight to you, Aaron, and let's find out what you're going to recommend first.

I'm thinking what we start maybe just at the top with running tops.

Yeah, sure.

So I am going to kick things off with a base layer, which I

absolutely love for winter runs. It's from a brand called Ifley Road, which as far as I know

is only doing men's running kit right now. It's named after the road where the first four-minute

mile was broken by Roger Bannister.

It's a British made brand by runners, four runners. And it's a Marino Wall base layer, which I know can

sound a bit daunting and unbreathable and stuffy, but actually Marino wool is one of the most breathable

fabrics I've found that was used for like old school cycling

jerseys and for good reason. So I favour it over those kind of technical fabrics. It looks a lot

better. It fits like a glove. And it's super lux. I wear mine as loungewear as well as running

under a running t-shirt.

It's pretty pricey.

It's 95 pound for a base layer, which is a lot kind of in the grand scheme of things.

But it's super low maintenance.
