Joggers, trainers and a sports bag for £16 - gotta love Tesco :)

Hades · 8 Nov 2008 at 21:30

Fleece jogging trousers - £5
Trainers - £5
Decent sized sports bag - £6

That's me sorted for the gym (when my broken leg is fixed). Got to love Tesco's bargains sometimes

Anyone else found some great bargains recently?

Depending on the area you go jogging you may want:

Bra from Asda - £priceless

Depending on what you do in the gym, I'd be weary of the trainers. They offer little support for running imho.

Same as above, spend at least £20~ or so on trainers to get something remotely half decent for running at the gym. Using crap ones is really bad for you in the long run.

Yup. I had to buy some new ones today for this very reason. Previous ones were £2 (reduced) ones from Tesco. They were fine for cycling, rowing etc... but if going on the treadmill would kill me.

"Trainers - £5"

Your knees are worth more than that.

Wouldnt fleece pants be a tad warm?

Only said knees because my ankles have already gone

Not played football for 2 years because they fail me everytime.

LOL! Im actually chuckling at this brilliant

idd, £5 for a pair of trainers.. well thats not going to do any good if you're doing anything with your feet really is it... they will be poor for running etc, and for doing anything else.. such as walking about and what not you could have just used any pair of trainers you already own?

I wont be running in the trainers, just doing weigts, situps, etc.

If they're the ones I had - they'll be fine for that

Can anyone suggest a pair of trainers for running for under £40? Trying to look round town for a pair is hopeless these days since all sports shops round here now seem to have turned into chav fasion outlets.

go to sportsworld/sport&soccer/dixon sports(all the same company really), actually even lillywhites I think.
Or hold your horses for january sales and hunt a pair of asics in JJB or something.

I could do with some cheap jogging bottoms, great for around the house

I got a couple of squash racquets there for £1.78 each a while ago. It had tescos value wrapping, but just looked like it had been bought in from another manufacturer and wrapped and sold. Does the job though for the occasional game :cool:
