Any idea when Lidl/Aldi have their running sale?

Did the packets of running tights say 'running trousers' on them. Either I missed them or was confused

The running trousers in Lidl were running trousers but the ones in Aldi are running tights.

Damn. oh well. I take it leggings are 'tight' trousers and tights are thermal?

Certainly in the ladies sizes, Lidl had running tights and trousers. The tights were still packaged as trousers.

They seemed to only have the trousers in the Lidl I went to for men and I was one of the first in through the doors - but It did appear that they had more ladies gear than mens in the Lidl I went to. Not sure if this was the case in other stores.

My husband went to aldi last night for winter running jacket, they had none left but he asked if they had any out back and they said they had another 2 containers full. So ask in your local aldi what's out back

I took a cycle to my nearest Lidl before work yesterday as they conveniently open at 8am (unlike Aldi) and got there around 8.15, was impressed to a see a few people already picking through the running gear!

Got what I was after anyway so all's well

Pretty much nothing left in Aldi Parnell St or Lidl Moore st by 17.30 yesterday.
Few oddments of mens gear and almost no ladies gear at all... disappointed but then I prob don't really need more gear! Did get a headband to keep my ears warm. Really needed a pair of gloves though :-((
Better luck next time...maybe I should take a day off work!!!

Very little left in Aldi and Lidl in Rathmines at about 12:30 today. Few long sleeved tops in Aldi - all sizes for women, didn't notice the mens.

Anyone get hold of an Ultra-light Running jacker. Just wondering how light they are?

Like a black bag type weight. They were just big bright yellow plastic-ish jackets, kind of like tose you used to get years ago that you could roll up into themselves.


The heavier running jackets seemed to be of a decent material,I thought they looked really heavy, but they actually weren't. I tried on one of the medium ones and it was much to big for me. I would rarely wear a jacket when running so I didn't look for a size small.

Guess it depends on where you live, I was up in Navan for the weekend and the Lidl there still had loads of hats, gloves, tops and trousers in both mens and womens on Sunday.

Very light indeed, almost see through, more of a wind breaker than a jacket.

The sizes of the Lidl running tops are a bit hit and miss. I bought two mens large tops, one fits perfectly, the other fits the body, but the sleeves only just go beyond the elbows.

Went for a run last night in my new Aldi running jacket, found it very comfortable and surprisingly light. Was well impressed.

Picked up about 5 pairs of running socks, 4 pairs of cycling socks, 4 beanies, 1 thermal top, 1 thermal cycling tights and 15 pairs of suit socks :P

It's not really a sale just that their special offers last week was Winter running gear, there might still be some bits & pieces left but not too much I'd guess at this stage.

There is still running gear in Aldi , Mallow.
Really recommend the base layer tops.
