Jogging on in style

You should be investing in a decent bra — not only to prevent accidents, especially for those who are well-endowed, but also to help with potential aches and pains.

Designed for high impact, strenuous sports, Triumph International’s bra is packed with functional features that prevent abrasion at pressure points and ensure perfect support and comfort. At £27 it’s quite expensive, but what price can you put on protecting your best assets?

You’re probably going to have a shirt to run in if you’re raising money for charity so you’ll need to sort out the bottom half. Try these ladies USA Pro running tights which are great for the occasion. Coming in at £21.99 they are good value for money and are available from JJB. Staying with the store grab these men’s running shorts for £14.99.

Hot off the shelves Adidas has launched its new Torsion apparel range for men, exclusively available only in JJB stores. Torsion was originally designed for footwear and is supposed to enhance stability and reduce foot fatigue in running shoes.

The concept now also involves apparel, with the first collection of its kind being introduced in perfect time for summer. It is a visually striking collection in bold black with neon yellow trims.

Each piece of the collection is finished off in style with the adidas Torsion logos in metallic silver.

Men should try these 3/4 pants for £29.99. Great if the weather is good and a full tracksuit isn’t needed.

Last but not least, ladies you’re going to need to keep your hair tied back. Add a little style with this headband from Tesco at £3 — who knows it might make you run as fast as a cheetah — then again, it might only make you look good, never a bad thing.

The Great Manchester Run starts at 10am on Sunday, May 17. For more information go to www.greatrun.org
