Marathon gear
Training for a marathon? Here’s some kit to help you get the most out of your sessions and the race
Adidas Official Virgin London Marathon Jacket
The official London Marathon jacket is ideal for anyone training throughout the rainy British springtime. The ClimaProof fabric is fully seam-sealed, lightweight, and waterproof to 3,000mm to prevent adverse weather from hampering your running. With vents across the shoulders and down the back, the jacket is also highly breathable so when training gets intense you don’t have to worry about overheating. Comfort is enhanced by the Formotion design, which uses a combination of fabrics to provide a wider range of movement while running.
