Some of those are bargains to be fair though so as long as you get through them, all good. I had 4 total including 2 totally spare pairs of Alphaflys for a while having picked them up for between £140-£180. All 4 have since been used up though so all good in the long run. When I needed the 5th and had to pay full price I wished I’d bought even more!

A pair of Nimbus 25’s. I’m relatively new to running and haven’t bought many pairs of shoes yet. The Nimbus feel like they are taking energy from me with every stride. I have 120 km in them.

Everyone was crazy about the Asics Novablast 3, so I bought them, but I don't like them.

I always buy last years model. I figure if people were happy with them last year I can be happy with them this year.

What an inventive little topic you've created here, and I've a few gripes of my own about a certain Peg 39s which I thought would be great. It was an online blind buy bec the 37s were so good - eventually never ran much in them. Turned out after a year plus of ownership, after taking the insoles off, there was a metal piece of plate exactly where the heel would impact in the insides of the shoe!

As a heavier runner, 200lbs, I love the invincible 3. I have multiple pairs and they feel amazing to me. No they aren't fast, and they are heavy but I love them. I love the bounce and protection they offer me. I'm one of the lucky ones that has no issues with the heel slip either.

When you hit 50k subs you should film a video doing a parkrun in your Oakley sunglasses, Soar vest, Gymshark shorts and Nike Invincibles.

buying the Under Armour Machina 3 having seen an influencer review. They are absolutely shocking

I love my Soar Race Vest, which fits me perfectly and is the lightest top I own, and Oakley Flak 2.0 XL sunglasses, which hug my narrow face without shifting or rubbing. I guess everyone is built differently. The one item I've not returned despite its shortcomings are my Janji Trail Half Tights. Their many pockets readily accommodate hydration and fuel for two-hour runs, however, they chafe where it's nobody's business. Wearing comfortable briefs solves this problem, yet makes the tights too warm for summer, limiting their use to autumn and spring runs.

Outside of running I'm always in Under Armour 6" boxerjocks. Charged cotton version for everyday and the Performance or mesh version for hiking or motorbiking. They never ride up, no chafing, super comfy. 6" inseam is perfect length. Functional fly too!

I wore an Alta jock strap for years but when it wore out as I filled out I replaced it with a Nike one that really cuts into my legs after a couple miles.

I have one running vest - and will leave it at that! mind you the soar shorts with a liner are amazing and have lasted years - as I can only wear one pair of a shorts at a time I won't buy anything else. Love the honesty of what didn't work for you even if others loved it

When low drop was a trend - bought some Saucony's which killed my achilles. A trionz wristband cos Paula wore one !

I am 100% with you on the under armour compression shorts, the previous version was lovely to run in, the newer model has seems down the inner thigh, not good unless you have twiglet legs

I love my invincible 2’s, I am prone to injury and they are perfect for all my long and recovery runs. Very durable as well, still has enough bounce after 400 miles 😊

My biggest regret was getting the Hover Air drone. Thought it'd be great to help document some of my more scenic ultras, but never had enough space in my pack for it. Also it turns out I'm not really a drone person!

Fordy, if your Soar running vest doesn't fit, return it. They let you do that. Simple. No regrets.

I don't get why the seams are like sandpaper, after a half marathon i was in so much pain

I think some things you have to admit were terrible for you, not necessarily terrible in general. For instance I did not get along with the Asics Trabuco trail shoes at all but I have a coworker that loves them. He is heavier than me and he loves running ultras. Im lighter and focus more on pace. Different people prefer different things I suppose. My biggest regret is keeping a pair of shoes that was slightly too small, worked well until I ran a half in them. Also socks from road runner sports, they fall apart so fast and they are hard to put on.

I really don’t like my Janji AFO middle shorts. The pocket just sucks. Because the fabric is beautifully soft, light, and airy, it’s almost impossible to get the zipper open on the move. With a vest or belt, it’s ok, but on shorter runs I try to use different shorts.

Probably running belts as I’ve bought a few that just end up in the drawer as they’re either uncomfortable or useless. The spebelt or something like that, just bounced up & down with my phone in it. Luckily I bought a flip belt which is great. Cheap headphones that don’t fit in your ears or break. Also my AirPod Pro not cheap that broke, well they work but have a rattle noise when I run. Got a pair of Sony wireless headphones now but the cable is annoying. Hydration packs, why can’t they make them longer for taller people? I bought a pair of the Nike Tempo Next (don’t know exact model) with the air pods which cut my heels up & split after 60 miles. Got a full refund tho. The first Adidas Ultraboost, lasted me two months before they had worn down. Imported them from US too as couldn’t get my size in the UK.
