Personally I've always run on the basis of wearing proper sports socks rather than everyday socks for exercise - it happens most of my sports socks are white, but I don't conscientiously object to other colours. However, I would say black socks with shorts and white trainers do look a bit cack IMHO.

She wants me to wear white ones, against my will as black make me look stupid, aren't coordinated and others stuff that I can't remember cos I gave up listening!
So, bearing in mind I'll be wearing a random T shirt, navy blue shorts (which are too long and make look....) with blue trainers, what colour socks should I wear?

If you have no idea what you'r talking about, don't be so quick to put others down as you look stupid. Richie - agreed, mixing in some higher work rate is necessary for strength / speed, anaerobic thresholds and all that, 70-80% is good for cardio/respiratory stuff too, and anyway different training suits different goals anyway, Definitely agree that either way the colour of your socks has no effect whatsoever on how effective your training is!
