Cannot believe it is only 9 days until I run the marathon for the 1st time. I'm taking it easy now, as I really don't want to get injured before the big day. I'm feeling nervous and terrified but also a bit emotional because if I manage this I will be very, very pleased with myself.
With all the running that I've been doing I feel like I'm a bit of an expert in sportswear now. I've been trying out lots of different brands and styles trying to find the right ones for me. Ultimately what you really want are clothes to look good, but also not to think about them at all whilst you're working out. What I mean is running for example is hard enough as it is already and you want your running gear to do it's job, such as keep you cool/ or warm, help keep the sweat away from your skin, and do all that without bothering you with even a passing thought.
So let me introduce you to LIJA - I first saw LIJA when I went to a House of Fraser press day a few months ago, a lovely lady was wearing their running tights, which have really nice detail down the side (shown in the 2nd picture). They have managed to expertly perfect the art of great looking sportswear without compromising on functionality.
Their running rights are really comfortable and really flattering, and I love the colours - that Teal colour in the 2nd picture is my favourite. And this silver jacket in the picture below is definitely on my wish list.
I had to share this little You Tube clip because I think it's fantastic and Linda Hipp is a true inspiration.
I'm so passionate about keeping active and showing my children that exercise is just a normal part everyday life.
I believe if you can do it in great looking sportswear you're more likely to do it.
You can buy LIJA at House of Fraser, go check them out.
Let me know what you think?
Have a great weekend
