I told you they tell you a size 2 sizes smaller than you really are, I tried on some size 12 shorts this morning and no way were they a 12. Cut the size out of the one that fits then it doesnt matter! According to FETCH I am an XXL top already which I find quite offensive, alright I have a bust but I know it isnt that bloody big!! What was the point of losing weight to be offended like that! The girl in the running shop did say today the sizes were very small. Whats the point of having sizes if they are all different yet have the same number.

Besides FML there were bigger blokes than you doing that 5k the other night and they were bloody fast!

I am not quick, but have done 4 HM this year, with another 3 entered and a decent runnng top is a must, but managed to get one through the club but only when someone joined a similar size as me as the minimum order was 4.

show off! Just cos you can fit in them. Another thing I found quite vexing was that I am supposed to be a veteran when I hit my birthday next year. Veteran in my book is either someone who has been in a war (that could be true actually as feels like a war some days this running lark) or someone collecting a bloody old age pension. They are writing me off before I have even got started! It is bad enough being one of the oldest at work without getting victimised in my hobby as well!

don't think it matters what size or age you are as their are bigger people and older people finishing in front of me in races and good on them:)
