How to spend €25?

    I won a €25 gift card for amphibian king but don't know what to spend it on. Been on their website but there is nothing I want/need. I have loads of training tops/shorts/socks/jackets etc. My runners have alot more miles in them. I have track and XC spikes, flats. I don't run marathons so don't need gels/water belts etc.
    I don't want to buy anything for the sake of spending it, so I'm looking for ideas.
    So, if you were given €25 to spend in a running shop what would you spend it on?

    That sounds exactly like buying something for the sake of it :D

    You could give it to me, I would promise not to be so indecisive

    They sell food too - various healthy biscuits, drinks, etc. Sounds like you already have everything else.
    Or you could just hold on to it until your runners need to be replaced.

    Foam roller? Swim gear?

    Shoes or socks, even if you don't need them now, they'll still fit when the current ones wear out.

    Healthy biscuits? You could also spent in on drinks as running is thirstywork2

    If you do any swimming, buy a decent pair of goggles.

    Winter is coming (In reality it never left :rolleyes:) so how about running tights or gloves or hats or a head torch.

    I know you say you don't do marathons so fuel belts are out but how about a Spibelt, surely you carry keys/phone etc. stops them rattling about in your pocket.
