Running kit in Lidl
Hope it's still there because I meant to post this on Saturday but I forgot. They've got running backpacks, belts with water bottles, leggings, t-shirts, socks, trainers and probably some other stuff. Much cheaper than the running shops.

I've seen a few sites advocating tyres, but I can't see them being very portable, or foam blocks and plywood, which might be expensive. Any ideas where I…
