I can’t find the long sleeved shirt on the website to leave a review. But I recently got one in yellow, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! I thought the runching would maybe highlight a poochy tummy, but boy was I wrong. So cute, so easy, so comfy, please keep it in the Lulu collection!

PS It was this blog post that made me rethink getting the long sleeved shirt, and I’ve very glad I did. Thanks for blog posts like these, they’re great, since I don’t have a store nearby where I can try stuff on.

These Fit Guru posts and updates on Facebook are great. I’d love to see a comparison of all your bras (me in particular I’d love to see full support showcased). Bras are difficult to purchase online and seeing bodies you can compare on is a great help.

Speaking of fit, I have a really hard time finsing things that fit me properly and are still comfortable. I’m not exactly built like a runner/athlete. I’m 5′ tall, about 115 pounds, size 2-4 in bottoms, but am very topheavy (36C-34D depending on the brand). I hae a hard time finding amazing pants that aren’t a foot too long, fit in my thighs (I have small thighs). The tops are even harder because I’m so short, so sometimes the tops are too long, but because I’m bigger busted, I usually have to buy a larger size to accomodate that, and then the rest of the garment is too big And I still have yet to find a sports bra that only requires me to wear one, and eliminates all movement (from any brand!) Any ideas?

Great post. I coach a lot of girls getting ready for their first longer distance race and it’s good to know as a guy, what works best and what I can suggest to them. Lulu also has lots of great stuff for guys to run in as well. The new Hooker shorts are my new favs.

Love the advice! I totally agree about the run swiftly’s…they feel so good I never want to take them off. Great to hear about the bra. I’ll have to try one on next time I’m at lulu.

I absolutely love the swiftly racerback tank, so much that I had to purchase in numerous colors! I prefer to run in shorts, but so far have not been inspired by any lululemon shorts. I will keep checking though.

Hey Oana,

I am an A cup, B+ on a good day, and I actually really like the All Sport Bra. I can also run in the Flow Y bra, but if you prefer more support, I would definitely try the All Sport!

Ciao!

I have done a dozen marathons, each one wearing a pair of Lulu Run Speed Shorts and a tech tee…I have never had an issue with my clothing. I agree with the advice for test running though…I did all my training runs (esp the long ones) in the same stuff so I knew it would perform great…

I’ve been looking for a bra like the all sports, but for a smaller cup size (A or B, 36 or 38) – anything like that at Lululemon?

Love the advice girls! I did my first long hill run yesterday wearing the all sport bra and although I do not need as much support it was great. Excited to try out the new socks as well.

as I read this post I am wearing the Run:Team Spirit Crops as well as a long sleeve Run:Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve. I second every piece of advice Hollis has about these pieces. They totally rock for long distance, hard wearing and heavy sweating – oh, and you look like a totally fabulous strong powerful and confident woman in these pieces. I have a hard time convincing myself to change – eventually I do for the sake of others!!!

Whitney – thanks for this post. The fit & function of these run pieces are spot on and sometimes we just don’t know where to start when it comes to the right outfit for a big race. Hollis – thanks for your input! CA looks ahhhmazing!
