Cheap running kit

Just popped into my local aldi for a few bits and bobs, seen theyve got some running/general sports gear in for this weeks specials.
I picked up a couple of the running tshirts as I'd been looking for some light wicking tshirts they were a bargin at £4.99 each and seem decent quality.

Thanks for the heads up. When are they likely to run (excuse the pun) this til?

They normally dont get massive amounts of the specials in so its just till they sell out, which on some stuff can be within a day or 2

You can get fairly decent stuff at good prices from Decathlon Sports if you have one nearby. I've got some of their wicking t-shirts (£4.99), polo shirts (£6.99) and running trousers (£11.99) and i'm impressed at the quality for the price. They always seem to carry a large range of colours and sizes too.

I use decathlon every now and again when I'm up at uni, but theres only a few of them in the country I think.

edit: although it looks like theyve started selling online as well

Yeah you're right, there aren't that many stores. I tend to stock up every time i go and i always end up buying far more than i need! Where are you based?

I'm up in Wolves when I'm at uni

Just looked at their website. I thought there were more, but there are only 7 of them in the country!! I though there were a few more than that.
