My name is Allison Maxwell and I am 26 years old. My most favorite thing to do in this life is run. I started over 3 years ago and have so far completed several 10 KM races, two half marathons, relay races and one triathlon. I am currently working towards my first full marathon. I also weight train at the gym 4-5 times/week.

Staying in shape and being healthy is very important to me – this is why having the proper apparel is essential to achieving my personal fitness and health goals. Lululemon combines practicality, quality and comfort with the bonus of style. Their various lines of athletic wear provide the functionality required for various types of low impact to high impact physical activity.

Top: Stride Jacket II   $108
This jacket hugs your body in all the rights places but is still loose fitting. It is a longer length so can be worn with tights. It also has thumb holes that keep the sleeves down and hands warm, as well as a zipper garage to keep your chin and neck warm.

Bottoms: Grove Pants   $108
These are reversible! These bottoms are your all-around anything pants. Great for lounging around the house or working out. They have a wide waist band and sit higher on the waist. They have a waist band pocket for small items such as keys and money. I have had mine for almost 2 years now and they fit and look just as good as they did the day I bought them. Can be purchased in a variety waist band colours.

Bottoms: Run – Empower Crops II  $86
These are my most recent Lulu purchase. What I like the most is no more chafing during those long distance runs! These are also great for cycling. They are extremely comfortable – my favorite pair of Lulu Lemon bottoms yet!
Some other pros:
•    Secure pocket for cards, keys & sport snacks
•    Mesh behind the knees for extra ventilation
•    A calf length running crop to support your muscles and reduce bounce
•    7 colour schemes to choose from

Tank Top: Running Tank  $52
(now discontinued but is very similar to the Athletic Deep V Tank II) This tank has lots of support (built in bra) but can be layered with your own sports bra for additional support.

Headgear: Twisted Headband  $12
It is the perfect width so it doesn’t fall off your head while running. Great for people with bangs because it holds them all back without any fly-aways.

.

Top: Swift Tank $52

This top has a zipper pocket in the front so you can hold money and keys. Cross straps in the back provide maximum support and breathability and is great for long distance running or high impact sports.

Bottom: Run – Jog Skirt   $54

This skirt is very cute but do not be fooled – it has concealed shorts underneath that  provide all the functional properties of running shorts and are quite functional.This skirt is great for short runs! I don’t do any long distance running in this skirt as the shorts underneath are not long enough to reduce chafing. There is a mesh pocket for holding cards and keys. The skirt also wicks away sweat and has quick dry fabric.

.

Top: Remix Lulu Hoodie $98

This hoodie is very comfortable and warm. Great for outdoor walks and hiking. There is a built in zipper garage to keep your neck and chin warm. Not so much ideal for intense work-outs.

Bottoms: Groove Crop II $86

These bottoms are reversible! Great for running, going for hikes and just lounging around. They are also chaif resistant and provide a great range of movement.

.

Bottoms: Run – Speed Short   $52

These shorts are ultra-light and perfect for working out and short distance running as they are only chafe resistant. They have a zipper pocket in the back for storing money and keys.

Top: $52

This tank is very light weight and great for the hot summer months. It is body skimming and perfect to wear over a full support bra. It is made with elastic jersey material that provides for flexible movement. Wicks away sweat.

Thanks Allison!
