I have two too much running kit, most of it purchased in my first year of running (when I used to read RW).

Just for fun, I thought we should compile a list of running kit that's laughably unnecessary...

Seeing and advert for this inspired me... eglove.co.uk

Over to you...

I have 8 buffs. Pretty sure I don't need seven of those!

Cross-country spikes - everyone uses studs because there's nearly always a bit of road and who needs two pairs of off-road shoes anyway?

I love my buff - wearing it over helps warm my breath up on very cold runs, and being asthmatic that's useful. Stops me dying from an asthma attack, which would affect my running a bit.

Ever wanted to get into an argument about Buffs of compression socks?

Do you run with a doughnut water bottle?
Did that advert in RW make that pricey but of kit seem indispensable?
Discuss on this thread and fall out over nipple guards...
