A lot can happen in 26.2 miles. Looking back on my first Marathon I can pinpoint what went right and what went wrong. The main thing to think about is that it can all change very quickly. One minute you feel like...

Hello, If you are a runner or exercise enthusiast, chances are at some point you have experienced chafing. Rubbing on the skin thats causes chafing is extremely common but do you really know what you need to do to avoid it? Chafing...
We were recently contacted by a friend, Jenny Davis, who alongside a friend was aiming to run 230km ultra marathon in SNOW in SWEDEN! Our first reaction was obviously - that is amazing, where do we sign up next year! Afterwards we...
We were recently approached by a fantastic team of 5 guys aiming to row across the Atlantic in record time! They needed underwear that would help them stay-chafe free whilst also being moisture wicking. We are really pleased to announce that...
The London Marathon provides us with countless stories each year of why runners take to the 26.2 miles. Runderwearer and keen Runner Laura Edmonds shares her own personal story of why she ran the marathon here: I am seven days away...
Jamie and I met at Loughborough University. We were put on the same corridor in our Halls and instantly became friends as we were incredibly enthusiastic about sport. I was a runner and at the time Jamie played most sports. After university...
In August 2015, Sophie, who many of you will have met as the smiling helpful wonderfully funny girl who works with us at all of our events, ran the GR11 route across the Pyrenees! Here are some parts of her blog which...
As we near the end of the year, it’s hard to not reminisce. Races run, injuries avoided, miles achieved…all things to note and to consider improving upon for next year. Before you fill up all 52 weeks of 2016’s race calendar...
I'm a hopeless competitor. Give me any situation and I can see a way to crown a winner. Mind you, most of the time the other competitors have no idea they're in a race. All they see is some idiot rushing up...
I discovered my super powers about 35-minutes into my first ever +5km run. I'd been running for what felt like hours, yet I wasn't tired, I wasn't even that sweaty or pink. If I hadn't been summoned for dinner, I'd probably have...
I remember very clearly the confusion I felt at my friend's jealousy of those running the London Marathon. She'd not got a place and would've given anything to join them, instead she was fated to sulk the whole week before the race...
Running isnt pretty. You huff and puff until youre beetroot red and soaked through with stinky sweat and the occasional tear. Unfortunately, it seems to get worse. The more Ive run the further and longer Ive gone the more disgusting skills Ive...
It’s something, certainly as a female who runs on her own in the dark, I’ve acknowledged but always tried to not think about. You hear warnings and horror stories but you don’t ever expect anything bad to happen to you. And...
Unless I have someone breathing down my neck, screaming instructions, I find intervals hard. I’m sure I’m not alone. They hurt! And when you know that, it’s difficult to inflict that pain on yourself. Alas, you won’t get fast without ever...

We are proud to have British Athletics International Athlete, Jess Coulson, as a brand ambassador for Runderwear. Jess has recently finished 3rd in the British Half Marathon Championships in 71:36. This superb effort has qualified her to run for Team GB in next...
It seems to have been the only reasonable explanation to my non-running friends as to why I wanted to run an ultra-marathon. “I’ve fallen into a bad crowd”, I explained with my tongue firmly in my cheek. Who hasn't been encouraged...
I’m tired. It’s simple as that. It’s that time of year again when darkness seems to creep up on us. We go to work and return in the dark, barely seeing a spot of sun for months. It’s tiring! Everyone seems...
I’ve never been one for number watching. My PBs are simple rewards for gradually becoming a better runner. I’ll run on feel, rather than tirelessly calculating splits and squeezing seconds out of miles. I collect stories, friends and photos rather than smaller...
During this years Marathon Des Sables, Susie Chan decided to use Runderwear. This is how she got on: Running 156 miles through the Sahara desert in the Marathon des Sables, you need to carry everything you need to eat, sleep and...
In every exhibition or race we attend with our Runderwear team we meet members of the armed forces with problems. Servicemen and women all over tell us about their issues with chaffing, and it isn't difficult to see why. Firstly training in...
It’s hard being the s**t runner. Not least because you end up so soul-destroyingly far behind, that you start to tell yourself you’re s**t. You knew running in this group would stretch your comfort zone, you didn’t realise you’d end up...
Girls, it’s time to drag out your dresses and hunt for your heels, we’re well and truly into wedding season. As someone who lives her life in trainers, though, this is a bit of a problem. Dressing for my cousin’s wedding...
Know your local loop like the back of your hand? Reckon you could bash out a local 5k with your eyes closed? Keep track of your mileage with familiar landmarks? You should get lost. Running should be a joy, a...
I was cautiously fresh from injury with my first half marathon on the horizon. I’d woken up early to enjoy the sunrise on the coast and attempt a long, (fingers crossed) pain free run during a weekend away. Half an hour later,...
It’s hot. The type of hot that could melt the rubber off your shoes or dry your mouth out in an instant and the smell of tarmac bubbling in the heat fills the air. You didn’t think about the summer training...
It’s a fresh season of half marathon running. Half marathons are so much more manageable than marathon running. At half the distance it slots in with running your own business. I feel it is conducive to good performance in the office, a...
During the 1980's the world was introduced to a concept which became known as Sports Nutrition. With health shops full of Supplements and magazines giving you all kinds of advice its hard to think that its only 30 years since the first...
Training with music. A lot of runners, sports people and gym-goers wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without their trusted companion – the headphones. But does training with music help or is it a hindrance? Should running with music be banned in all races? ...
