Chafing is the ultimate runner's nightmare and is most commonly caused by ill-fitting, poor quality underwear. But investing in a supportive bra, sweat-wicking pants or comfortable briefs can often feel secondary to a new pair of running shoes.
Fear not, though. The Runderwear Black Friday sale is still live and the retailer has slashed tonnes of its prices by up to 50%.
Prepare to wave goodbye to any unwanted distractions or chafing, and hello to smooth, comfortable running underwear and sports bras that don’t slip or slide – all for a fraction of the usual cost.
What everyone's reading
Our top pick:
If you hate getting in a twist while trying to pull a sports bra over your head, you’ll love Runderwear’s Power Running Bra (previously known as the ‘Easy-On Running Bra’), which not only features a double hook-and-eye back closure for a super secure fit but is made from a stretchy material – both making the process of getting in and out of it pleasingly straightforward.
With a wide underband and moulded, wire-free cups for additional support and bounce control, this high-impact sports bra is one of the sturdiest on the market – and excellent for those with bigger busts looking to feel secure and held in (especially during high-intensity runs). It also offers fuller coverage thanks to the high neckline.
The fabric is both breathable and sweat-wicking, so it dries out quickly. And the padded straps are comfy and completely adjustable – so you can tailor the fit to your body and avoid any shoulder or neck pain during or after exercise.
