THE 5K STAR

Even if it’s just a few miles here and there, you run regularly, and your running wear is a staple part of your wardrobe. Having multiple pieces that you can rotate in and out is essential to keeping your training on schedule.  Nike and New Balance both have great apparel options that will keep you running, longer. 

NIKE

Nike’s signature Dri-Fit technology is what makes their apparel perfect for the 5k running star! The Dri-Fit sweat properties of their clothing last the lifetime of the item so you can run in these pieces day after day, race after race, and they won’t lose their magic.

NEW BALANCE

Designed with comfort and performance in mind, New Balance apparel is perfect for everyday running. With most of their performance apparel being made with NB Dry, a moisture-wicking technology, this apparel will be sure to keep you cool on race day.

THE MARATHONER

Expert runners, we mean the ones who run 100’s of miles for fun, need the most lightweight and breathable material when it comes to the apparel they wear. The last thing you want is apparel that flaps in the wind or rubs against your body repeatedly and keeps you from running at your best. We like to say “cotton is rotten” in the running world, and you should avoid cotton running clothing at all costs. Opting for more breathable fabrics such as polyester, Nylon, or Bamboo will help you stay on track. Brands like On and Janji have performance apparel that is top of the line and keeps your runs cool and dry time after time. 

ON

Whatever the run or conditions, On has the right apparel for your run. Made for controlling temperatures and wicking away sweat, On’s assortment of T-shirts, tanks, leggings, and shorts were made for a high endurance run.

JANJI

Inspired by places and people all over the world, Janji apparel was made for running anywhere and of any distance. Janji also gives 2% of the proceeds from all purchases to support clean water projects in the countries that inspire their collections so by purchasing their apparel, you are helping the community! With secured zip pockets and breathable materials, Janji apparel is perfect for your next marathon. 

ESSENTIAL ADD ONS

An integral part of any runner’s outfit is the accessories to go along with it! To start, let’s talk socks. Feetures performance socks use special moisture-wicking fibers that are softer than your average sock. Feetures also has sock options that use the patented Targeted Compression technology found in all the company’s socks but adjust it to stabilize the plantar fascia and support the Achilles tendon. This tech gives wearers instant relief from arch and heel pain.Especially in the summer months, but even in the Winter, running hats like those from Top Knot or Sprints help wick away moisture from your head and don’t trap heat like your everyday hat. Made of light polyester fabrics and breathable mesh, a running hat needs to be added to your running wardrobe. Lastly, no run is complete without a pair of stylish shades. Goodr running sunglasses are not only trendy and colorful, but are also protective and won’t slip or bounce during your run.
