When to Wear Running Clothing
These pieces are built for actual running sessions, not just casual wear. Reach for them on training days when you need fabrics that breathe and move without restriction. The moisture-wicking materials come into their own during intense interval sessions or long steady runs when you're generating serious heat.
Many runners also use these items for other cardio activities like cycling or hiking. The technical features that make them perfect for running translate well to any high-output exercise. Layer them up for cold weather runs or strip down to essentials on hot days—the range gives you options whatever the forecast.
Key Features
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
Technical materials draw sweat away from your skin and allow it to evaporate quickly. This keeps you dry and comfortable even during hard efforts, preventing that clammy feeling that can derail a good run.
Reflective Details
Strategically placed reflective elements increase your visibility in low light conditions. Essential for early morning or evening runs when daylight is limited and you're sharing roads with traffic.
Movement-Focused Cuts
The patterns are designed specifically for running biomechanics. This means less bunching, chafing, or restriction in areas like shoulders, hips, and knees where you need freedom to move naturally.
Practical Storage
Zippered pockets keep essentials like keys and gels secure without bouncing around. Positioned carefully so they don't interfere with your stride or cause uncomfortable rubbing over distance.

FAQs
How do I choose the right size for running clothing?
Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements. Running apparel typically fits closer to the body than casual wear to reduce friction and improve aerodynamics. If you're between sizes and prefer a more relaxed fit, size up. For compression pieces or base layers, stick to your usual size for the intended performance benefits.
Can I put running clothes in the washing machine?
Yes, most running gear is machine washable. Turn items inside out and wash on a cool cycle with similar colours. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the moisture-wicking properties of technical fabrics. Air drying is best to maintain the integrity of elastic and specialized materials.
What's the difference between running shorts and regular athletic shorts?
Running shorts use lighter, faster-drying fabrics and feature cuts designed specifically for running biomechanics. They typically have shorter inseams to prevent chafing, built-in briefs or compression layers, and flat seams that won't irritate skin over distance. Regular athletic shorts are often heavier and less specialized for repetitive running motion.
Are these items suitable for trail running as well as road running?
Absolutely. The moisture-wicking fabrics, secure pockets, and movement-focused designs work across different running terrains. Trail runners might particularly appreciate the hydration vests for longer off-road adventures and the windbreakers for exposed ridgelines or changeable mountain weather.
How do I style running gear for different weather conditions?
Layer strategically based on temperature. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add the windbreaker when it's breezy or drizzling, and opt for shorts or tights depending on how cold it is. The key is choosing pieces you can easily remove and carry as you warm up during your run.
Will the reflective details wash off over time?
The reflective elements are designed to withstand regular washing when you follow care instructions. They're typically heat-transferred or woven into the fabric rather than simply printed on, which means they'll last through many training cycles. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat to maximize their lifespan.
Who designs Myprotein's running clothing?
All pieces in this collection are created by Myprotein's in-house design team. They work to develop running apparel that balances technical performance with practical features, drawing on feedback from runners to refine fits and functionality.
How do compression layers feel during long runs?
Compression layers fit snugly against your skin without restricting movement. During longer runs, this close fit reduces friction and prevents chafing. Many runners find the secure feeling helps them maintain form when fatigue sets in, though comfort is always personal so it's worth trying the fit during shorter sessions first.
