Other Running Clothes

Below are other clothing items you may need during running, depending on the climate where you run:

• Shirts and tank tops
• Long sleeve shirts and jackets
• Shorts
• Full length running pants
• Running hats and visors
• Gloves or mittens
• Compression socks

Key Features to Consider

• Wicking / breathability (removing moisture and avoiding chafing)
• Lightweight fabric
• Comfortable fit (prevent chafing or binding)
• Ability to retain body temperature during cold running conditions
• Ability to keep cool during hot running conditions

There are several reputable running clothing brands.  I recommend consulting with a local running store to determine what works best for you.

Helpful Tip

It is a good idea – especially before long runs – to lubricate areas of body prone to friction or chafing  – with Vaseline or with a body lubricant such as BodyGlide.  It is also helpful to cover body parts prone to chafing or bleeding with bandaids before your run.
