When I raced Boston and London last April, I suffered from horrible underarm chafing despite lathering on Aquaphor from the mini-tube I stored in my shorts pocket. A staffer told me their “secret”: wear a short-sleeved shirt. While I’m on the fence about racing with anything besides a sports bra and shorts, I might consider her advice. This heather-style tech tee wicks sweat, is super soft, and could be the remedy for my inflamed armpits.
This semi-fitted long sleeve isn’t too tight on the stomach and rib cage, but its snug fit allows you to layer up on cold days when one shirt doesn’t cut it. HeatGear material does the usual thing—wicks sweat, ventilates—but is also keeps your core cool as your workout intensifies and your body heat goes up.
Workout-ready or chillaxing at your kid’s soccer game, this retro-style track jacket is great for warming up (and is also very on-trend these days). The jacket has two hand pockets and a full zip.
These HeatGear leggings will keep you cool when you’re starting to sweat mid-run. The flatlock ergonomic seams curve with your body, and a side pocket fits a phone. The leggings come in extra small to 3XL, short, standard, and tall.

That affordable Amazon brand Baleaf lives up to the hype: this long sleeve is anything but basic. The shirt is made of quick-drying fabric and has a seamless flatlock design so the collar area and underarms won’t chafe. Best of all: the shirt offers UPF 50+ sun protection, because Baleaf knows that big guy in the sky doesn’t vacation during the winter.
There’s nothing like wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt when you go for a run or hit the gym. This UA tee features a relaxed fit and is crafted from sweat-wicking material. It dries quickly after a hard workout and serves well as a makeshift towel when the going gets tough and you need to wipe your forehead.
While I still don’t fully understand the quarter-zip (is it a shirt or a thin jacket?) I’m beginning to see its allure. This Adidas top, for instance, is perfect when you want more airflow on your chest. All you need is to zip down. And when the wind picks up? You zip up! The collar has just enough coverage around your neck to shield from early winter’s chill.
Joggers have so many uses; from working out to lounging, they’re also great for warming up pre-race. At the Sydney Marathon, I had to wake up at 3:45 a.m. to catch public transit on the way to the start. In times like that, a comfy, fleecy pair of sweats is essential.
Weather gets iffy in the fall—to layer or not to layer, to wear a jacket or risk getting drenched. This packable jacket by Champion allows you to bunch this down into its zippered compartment and pocket it in your shorts pre-run if it’s beginning to cloud over, and mid-run when the rainfall is abating.
These moisture-wicking shorts are less than 5 ounces and have two side pockets and an internal drawcord for adjusting the waistband. They come in sizes small to 3XL, and have a 7-inch standard fit inseam and a 10-inch tall fit inseam.
What’s better than one pair of durable, soft, sweat-wicking socks? How about three pairs for under $20? These Puma crew socks feature seamless construction and are designed to last.

These Storm Liner Gloves come in different sizes, so they’re properly fitted; perfect since the touch pads on the thumb and index finger would be rendered useless if they bunched up. The gloves repel water and have a little fleece patch between the index finger and thumb, where you can swipe your nose.
These hiking socks can also keep your piggies from going numb on a run. They have a cushioned sole and zoned arch support. The reinforced stitched heel and toe ensures durability.
I've been traveling a lot for races (I just ran the Sydney Marathon this August), and nothing makes traveling easier than having all your essentials in the same place. The Puma duffle has dimensions of 21 inches in height, 10.5 inches in width, and 9.5 inches in depth—meaning it has ample room to store apparel, shoes, and everything else you’ll need during a destination race.
