Run for Days Shorts and tank.
Run for Days LS. Also shown are the Tank, SS, and Crops. A friend pointed out the Deep Camo LS is already sold out on the Canadian side of the website. Because it has a luxtreme body, I liked the LS the best of the tops. The fit was on the roomy side but I think it's a bit on the short side (and I'm only 5'5").
More of the Run for Days Tank. Now that I see more photos of this tank, it looks like it fits a bit snug through the chest on a number of these ladies. The tank was snug on my chest (36DD) and made the armpit/strap area gape above my breast. I only tried on the Regal Plum version but I found the material itchy.
Run for Days SS. I liked the feel and fit of the top well enough but there is a lot going on with the camo and the stripes. I thought it fit roomy TTS.

I really like the Run for Days group. Tight, focused collection. Bummer about the itchy fabric. I tried the deep camo tank, but I forgot to bring a bra in to try on with it, so it was impossible for me to evaluate. I honestly can't remember whether it was itchy or not. Will need to retry.
LLA, based on your feedback, I think I'll have to try the deep camo crops.
P.S. The Run for Days Tank description says slim fit. Perhaps it's too slim in the chest area if you are larger.
sorry random kvetch, but the WMTM has been pretty crappy/nonexistent for smaller sizes for the longest time. maybe its just the flooding of all the products everyone was unexcited about at any price.
even to consider a meh stripy power Y at a few bucks off, theres NEVER smaller sizes anymore. wasn't always like that.
See the new Savasana wrap uploaded!?
LLA and Fellow Addicts- I would like to purchase one of the reflective vests from WMTM, but am having a hard time choosing between the Let's Get Visible Vest and the Light Speed Vest.
I live in So Cal so I don't need a lot of warmth, but I run in the early mornings and would feel safer if people could see me better.
Can anyone share their preferences and why?
THANK YOU SO MUCH :D
@ anon 9:45 am - Did it get uploaded just today? I didn't notice it on Tuesday.
@ anonymous 8:02 - I was thinking the same thing about WMTM - except all I see are 2's and 10/12's. I'm a 6 and haven't bought anything off WMTM in at least a year. I was thinking they must sell off all the middle sizes and only have the smaller and larger sizes left!
I really wanted to like this run capsule. I'm a distance runner, and I love the fit and functionality of Lulu running stuff. That being said, there was nothing to recommend these items. They were more expensive than I can remember tanks, shorts, and plain LS and SS crew neck running tops ever being! The fabric is scratchy! I can see some major chafing with it, it is not soft, and it feels somewhat abrasive. The tops all run large. I am between a 2-6 (Swiftlies I'm a 6, CRB's I'm a 4 and 105, I'm a 2). I downsized to a 2 in the tank, and I am a 32D. The LS shirt fit so oddly--so blousy in the chest and abdomen (and yes, it runs short--I'm only 5' tall!) and tight in the sleeves. I felt like it was coming off my shoulders a la flashdance (I was overcome with an urge to put on some legwarmers and a headband while trying it on!) The shorts were cute, fit a little more snug than a pair of Speeds, but I didn't really care for the split, and I certainly didn't want to pay $68 for them. The SS also ran big. I needed a 2, but there wasn't one, and again, the scratchy fabric was a deal breaker. It almost reminded me of wearing an itchy crinoline back in the day when I was a child... I ended up buying just a "Hit Your Stride" skirt in the regal plum print. Not sure if I'm going to keep that either. It kind of flares out a lot, and I don't know what I have other than black to wear with it. So disappointed, I had such high hopes for this run capsule!
Oh, and I did try the run for days bra as well. I was between a 4 and a 6. The 4 I could hardly get on and off, and the 6 the band was just not tight enough. As far as support, I think the Energy bras are more supportive for me (I'm a 32D). I sometimes run without a shirt on when it is really hot out, and I would be very self-conscious doing so in the Run for Days bra--the little cut out on the bottom showed off some underboob, which I'm not a fan of flashing!
@ LuluAddict - I believe they just uploaded today along with WMTM, because I just found them under new arrival right after I browsed through all sale items online. They wouldn't be available in all sizes now if they were uploaded on Tuesday, right? :)
10:06 I got the light speed vest and I love the fit. I got a size 4 I am 5'-3" and very busty 34DD and weight is around 120. I like the fit a lot, I was worried that it would be tight in the chest area but it is not. It's a nice light weight vest that can be worn with long sleeves, or with a tank for visibility at night.
