Do you wash your running gear after every run?

Sorry for the random thread but I'm interested.
I think I need to invest in another set as I'm finding it difficult to turn the laundry around in time...

Yes and i barely break a sweat but still stink!

MelanieCheeks · 06/02/2015 19:28

God yes, I have to peel mine off after a run!

I have at least 3 of everything.....

always, I run outside, on a beach, it gets muddy and sandy and it would be pongy and very unappealing to get into if left for a second run

I have lots of kit so I could, but if I'm doing back-to-back runs, esp if the first is later in the day snd the second eatly the next, I don't bother. I am a road runner, so no one will get close enough to care!

When I do wash it, it comes out almost dry so not really a problem, though - I just font do a wash every day, and is exercise 5-6 times a week.

I don't run, but do an aerobic dance class x 3 a week, and I wash my stuff after every session. Always.

I've also discovered a wash called Halo. Get it in Sainsburys. Great for keeping gym stuff smelling fresh.

I always wash my sports stuff every time. I get sweaty in Pilates/stretch classes, running soaks my clothes.

God yes, I stink after a run!

I also have hundreds of running clothe- the exception being only two good bras.

If I need a quick turn around on a bra I wear it into the shower, give it a swish with shampoo along the edges, rinse and leave on the towel rail to dry.

Loving the bra tip Thursday! I am going to be doing that.

Every time: bra, t shirt, socks.
Every other time: leggings.
Judgement call: jacket.

Not always.

I used to, buthave been running and/or exercising daily recently, so am a bit fed up of all the laundry.

running tights I will make do 2 or 3 washes - unless they get soaked (rain and puddles!). Tops generally once, but if not sweated in much then I;ll wear them again. But won't wear again if doing an indoor exercise session with others - that isn't fair on them Grin
