  • CLOTHING

  • Running clothing has improved dramatically over the last few years. Cotton is no longer used in running apparel as it absorbs moisture and clings to the body

    At Fitstuff all of our running clothing is made from highly breathable, wicking fabrics. These fabrics transport moisture away from the body where it evaporates more quickly keeping you cool and dry.

    Fitstuff stocks clothing for all weather conditions so whether you’re after shorts and a vest or tights, base layer, jacket and gloves, we can offer you a fantastic choice.

  • RUNNING WATCHES

  • There is a mind boggling array of different watches designed for measuring time, heart rate, speed and distance. We recommend you call into our store to discuss your requirements; we can then take you through the various options available. Below is a brief description of the different products.

    Stopwatches – are simply designed to measure your exercise duration. More sophisticated models offer lap split times and countdown timers for interval training.

    Heart Rate Monitors – can be a valuable training tool for all standards of runner. Heart rate monitors  (HRM’S) tell you the truth about how hard you are working! HRM’s can also help enormously with motivation because you can witness your improvement on screen.
    Fitstuff stocks a large range of HRM’s, take a look at our personal trainer page or call in store for more details

    Speed + Distance Monitors – accurately measure your speed and distance while running. These watches use complex technology (such as GPS) to measure your distance so tend to be more expensive (most are over £100). These watches are fantastic training tools, offering features such as virtual training partners, altitude, wireless information download to PC, etc etc.

  • BE SEEN

  • Stay safe when running in the dark. Much of our clothing incorporates reflective strips that are highly visible at night. Also check out our range of reflective, nightlife and flashing light accessories.
