what to wear to run (coming from an ex runner)

i did track for about 5/6 years so i think i’m pretty qualified to talk abt this!!!

01. a sports bra

trust me, it’s a life saver! plus, during those heat waves, u don’t have to worry abt ur shirt sticking to u 🥲

02. nike pros

i consider them an essential bc of how close they fit to the body. i usually wear them under my running shorts but sometimes alone. hip mobility is a huge thing in running!!!

03. running shorts

different from nike pros but they’re just baggier! i prefer them personally and they come in so many fun patterns! plus, they never stuck to my legs when i started sweating so i consider that a win!

04. good running shoes

the most important part of running is shoes. i like to get shoes that have memory foam and provide a good deal of bounce. running is hard on the knees and ankles so having a cushion on the shoes is really important to me!

05. a fanny pack

having to carry around ur phone can interfere w ur form if ur a sprinter like me. also it can get tiring to hold it while doing long runs. another thing is, where are u gonna put ur money and keys??? that’s why a fanny pack is so important. i usually don’t run with it bc i have a small track by my house but id definitely suggest investing in one.

06. a running jacket

the seasons change! and you don’t wanna get sick from running! i have a couple that vary in material but my favorite is a pullover with a hood ! it’s so comfy and i can just put the hood up when it starts raining!!!

07. leggings

another super important piece for when the seasons change!

08. tape

as someone with chronic knee pain, tape is a godsend. i tore my meniscus and i usually have it taped after runs. it can be used on ankles, shoulders, etc! stretching is also a very important part of running !!

i hope u enjoyed!!! i haven’t been able to run bc of my knee but after doing track for so long, i’ve complied a list of essentials!!
