I have some Zensah compression sleeves which I really like, and I’ve found that they’ve helped a lot with calf/shin splint issues. I was looking for some socks to wear as the weather is colder, and also for post-workout recovery. The CEP ones came with good reviews, and seeing as you can’t get Pro Compression in the UK yet, which was the other brand I was looking at, decided to give these a go (Zensah also do socks, but I wanted to try a different brand for comparison).
I haven’t quite made up my mind about this top yet, hence why the tag is still on it! It’s super soft and comfortable, with thumbholes (love!) and pockets, and made from a really nice material. But it is quite long, and as I’m quite a short person I’m not sure whether that really works. I wouldn’t wear it to workout in, but probably to throw on before/after exercising. (It was £31 in the Sweatshop sale).
EDIT: I’ve decided to keep this top. It is really comfy and it’s nice to have something to put on after working out, if you want to just pop into the supermarket, that looks more like normal clothing 🙂
Ronhill Vizion Photon Jacket
I love this jacket! When I left my old job my colleagues gave me some vouchers for Wiggle as a leaving present (thanks!) and I bought this jacket with it. It’s great! Lightweight, but still keeps you warm and dry (it’s showerproof) and is bright yellow so makes me feel so much safer running at night. It even has a flashing red light on the back that you can turn on and off for extra visibility. You can get it in pink too if you prefer that 🙂
What workout clothes are you loving lately?

Beki you look fab in your workout gear! I'm def going to look at getting one of those headbands, I went for a run in a hat the other day and it was fine but I worried it was going to fall off. Plus I was a little too hot if I'm honest. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm loving my Nike running capris, you can't beat them!

Thank you so much! The headband is really good as I also think I'd get too warm with a hat. I love running capris- they're the best! I've had mine for ages and they're starting to fall apart so they'll probably be on the list of new purchases next! Thanks again for reading 🙂 Beki x

Someone's been busy! I have an Icebreaker headband, which I LOVE. It's just so useful, particularly with long hair, hats just get annoying when you have to keep taking your hair down all the time! I recently bought some Ronhill leggings, which are great. They are nice and stretchy, with a cool key pocket at the back and reflectors! I really want to get a long sleeve to run in, I'm still using my softshell at the moment, but it gets quite warm! To be honest I always think I could do with another piece of gear, but I should probably just get on and RUN!

Haha yeah I get a bit carried away buying exercise clothes! Being kitted out so you're comfortable and warm does make a difference to how much you enjoy your run though, and make you more likely to carry on!I love my headband too- so useful. I could do with some more leggings so I'll have a look at the Ronhill ones… Long sleeve tops are good- especially in this crazy weather! 🙂 Beki x
