Don't believe everything you see on websites. If there is a store, just visit if you can. Managed to make some time and dropped down to the Decathlon in Surrey Quays. I got a Isolate 4000 top in my size of medium and was well pleased with it. Gosh, it reminds me when I was a kid when it was so much easier to get a matching track suit top and bottom for a veritable small price.
Possibly couldn't have happen at a better time. With being out of the office a fair bit recently and little change of gym action, looks like I'll be reverting back to running for the moment until I can figure out if I need to go to Fitness First instead.
At the moment, I am running up to about 40 minutes.

Wrong Size
Folks, I am frustrated. I am badly looking for the Isolate 4000 Top but it would appear that it is not in my size anymore. I could squeeze into a small. But it would be very very tight, so no I don't think I'll get it. :(
I did get the Canterbury baselayer (hot) but it was only in navy blue and it actually meant to keep you cool not warm. So ok for later on in the year, not just now. I see that another canterbury top has gone into discount. I'll wait until I can use my 10% discount voucher I got for buying the other top from sweatshop. I was told the best brand to go for is Helly Hansen...

Shops for running kit (UK)
A friend says he is going to do some running in the not to distant future and asked what do I recommend.
Well I got a pair of Kalenji "Isolate 4000" tights before Christmas at Decathlon. I really should have got that corresponding long-sleeved top. Looking at their site tonight, they have got some sales prices but they are still quite dear but I have been to the store and seen the quality.
Another place, I would recommend is Sweatshop and they currently got a huge sale on. For instance, there's a compression top that is half price that I am going to go after.
JJB Sports may be another place to consider but there doesn't look to be any sale on atm even in January. This is not to be confused with JD Sports whose selection leaves a lot to be desired. Lilywhites have gone down the discount route but their running items are surprisingly dear.
