Lululemon Sunday

8 miles easy / 1:16 / 9:30 avg pace  

Yesterday my sister and I hit up Lululemon (Walnut Street) in Philly.  I had gotten her a gift card for her birthday (she did the same for my birthday) so I was ready to spend and get some items off my wish list!  I really wanted to try their running shorts since I heard great reviews about them (hello back pocket).  I also needed to stock up on more tanks.  Their stuff is pricey but you can’t beat the quality, especially when you spend many hours a week running.

I immediately eliminated the Run:  Speed Short since it was a tad too revealing.  Next up was the Run:  Willpower Short.  Ahh, love.  Perfect length and not too tight or too loose.  I’m wearing it with the Power Y Tank (which I also loved).

Next was the Turbo Run Short.  The length was great but I didn’t like the way it pulled across the front of my thighs.  Also, the little undies underneath gave me a bit of a wedgie (sorry but I’m doing full disclosure here).  I’m wearing the Cool Racerback tank in this picture.

Last was Run:  The Fastest Short.  I didn’t like these just because of the length – too long.

So I left the store with the Willpower shorts, a Power Y tank, and a Cool Racerback tank.  Lulu love 🙂

The best thing though happened at the register!  I asked the cashier if they were still looking for ambassadors for the Philly store (I have been meaning to submit an ambassador application for awhile now).  She asked if I was a group fitness instructor and I said “no, I’m a runner and running coach”.  She then enters me in their system so I can get a 15% R&D discount!!!!!!!  This discount is for instructors and, as she put it, “you’re out doing what you love while wearing Lululemon clothes”.  I can get this discount every time too (which may be bad for my wallet).  What a company!  Just one more reason to love them!

Are you a Lululemon fan?  If so, what are your favorite items?

    I don’t have any of their stuff, mostly because I’m cheap and the nearest store is 2 hours away. I do love to hit up the Target workout clothes clearance racks. 🙂

    To the larger breasted runners: the TaTa Tamer definitely reduces bounce without giving you a uniboob. I thought it surprisingly comfortable but the real test, of course, is a road test. Will report back later.

      I am thinking of doing a post on “real sports bras” and will need input from both you and Amanda!

    Way to go! I wonder if I could get a discount by saying I’m instructor… even tho I’m a kindergarten teacher and not a running coach. Lol.

    Love the shorts, I totally want a pair but I’m worried about bunching. Dang thighs.

    I agree. You look fabulous in workout clothes. I love lulu workout clothes. My brother works at this high end gym (seriously, I feel so out of place when I don’t walk in with a Chanel workout bag) and since he works there, I get 10% discount, EXCEPT on LULU workout gear. Son of a *itch.
