Why wear specific outfits for running?
Running is mainly practiced outdoors. It is essential to take particular care with your outfits for running against the wind, in the heat, in the rain or in very cold weather. To do this, opt for a t-shirt, jersey or clothing sewn in a breathable material. This is layer 1 whose role is to wick away perspiration.
For the lower body, add tights or light, warm and airy insulating shorts (layer 2). The idea is to maintain your body temperature while keeping your skin dry, regardless of the outside temperature, the intensity of the race or the duration of the practice.
Don’t forget the layer to protect from the outside elements (layer 3). When you run outdoors, the wind is always there. It is important to protect yourself with a running windbreaker. This one is made from a technical and breathable material that insulates your body from the outside temperature while preventing the wind from rushing under your clothes. There are waterproof windbreakers to ward off light rain.
Layer 0 is the underwear. Choose a model adapted to the practice of running and your morphology. Running underwear is worn close to the body, like a second skin, while ensuring muscle support. They must facilitate your movements and provide you with a feeling of constant warmth. It is necessary to choose a material of breathable manufacture, ensuring a good evacuation of perspiration and regulating the body temperature. For athletes, remember to choose a bra offering optimal comfort during exercise. It is better to ignore models with seams to avoid chafing. Opt for bras that are easy to put on, with crossed and adjustable straps.
Tank top or light t-shirt, pants or shorts, jacket or windbreaker? It is not easy to find the best outfits to run comfortably, in summer as in winter. The first rule is to adjust your jogging clothes according to the climatic conditions. Your sensitivity to heat and cold also comes into play. The most important thing is to favor technical running outfits that are quick-drying and offer good breathability. In terms of fit, the choice is between tight-fitting or loose-fitting jogging outfits. It depends on your tastes, as long as you are comfortable. Also, they must wick away perspiration well and offer you optimal insulation against weather conditions. It is true that it is more comfortable to run in a close-fitting set if you are training at a high level. In any case, cotton should be avoided, as it absorbs and retains water.
