    Re: Body Odour

    I usually get 2 or 3 runs out of a given item of kit and it takes up to a couple of weeks to get through the whole lot and do a major wash. If it gets muddy or wet then it usually goes in the wash straightaway. I don't seem to generate too bad a smell and do a lot of my running alone so it's not caused any serious offence as yet.
    I'm a quick wash man by the way unless theres some serious mud involved.
    My feet don't get smelly either - socks are only ever worn for one run.
    I'd comment on north country boys laundering habits but since he's usually behind me I can't!

    Can't believe I'm wasting some dinner hour writing this....

    my first posting of the year.
    i usually get about two wears out of my kit at this time of the year,but in summer i can get a weeks worth but only if the girlfriend doesnt go into the spare room,were i keep the kit on the radiator.
    if you change your kit after every run ,you`d either need a hell of a lot of kit or youd have no time to run cos youd be stuck doing the washing,especially if you run twice a day

    Urgh all these people running round in grubby kit, thought it was a wind up at first. We always wash kit after every run, its dry in no time, so no excuse

    Wifes just found mine in the wash basket.....she now hates my smell! Never said that before we got married. Try to wash it straight after but can sometimes sneak extra runs if the wife don't realise!

    Re: Body Odour

    I get my kit washed after every one or two runs. I have a couple of brilliant "Roadmap" tops that, despite regular washing, are beginning to harbour a permanent hint of a whiff.

    I have no idea about temperatures and fabric softeners as we don't use them. We have a magic basket upstairs and if you put your dirty clothes in it, they appear again clean and folded on the bed in a day or so.
    I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.
