• Johnf 'My top bit of advice would be make sure you have the best shoes and socks for your feet and running style. Have a gait analysis done. After that buy good brand running gear in sales/online etc. They may be last year's colours but they will be technically good.' added 4th Nov 2009

• simonedumergue 'hear hear Johnf! I buy good labels in online clearances and always buy good shoes (after a gait analysis and specialised fitting). Don't think I have ever paid full price for anything as I'm on a tight budget too. Even in the depths of winter I found a good base layer (I like polyproplene tops - I get mine sent over from NZ but you can get them here) with a wind proof and shower proof jacket is all that I needed, with a hat and gloves only for when we had that spell last year of -5 during the day for a couple of weeks!' added 4th Nov 2009

• Keith_L 'With JohnF in that never scrimp on shoes and socks After that I tend to wear a summer running vest under a long sleeve top in winter....it works well. Aldi often ahve sales of really good value running clothes Good luck' added 4th Nov 2009

• Bobs 'Thanks for the advice, guys! I have a pair of Air Pegasus running shoes and I love them. They're so comfy, I can hardly even feel them. :-) I'll look online in the clearance sections for jacket, layers etc. Unfortunately, our nearest Aldi is around 50 miles away! Thanks again! xx ' added 4th Nov 2009
