Activewear that Enhances Running Performance
Although running is about consistency,
stamina and technique, there are other ways that you can improve your
performance. Seeking advice from other runners, different training methods and
even activewear can take your running performance a step further, focusing on
the activewear aspect, here's a look at garments that will improve your form,
from wearable tech to a fitted
tracksuit.
Smartwatch
Especially for road running, a smartwatch is a piece of kit to consider. It doesn't have to be the most expensive watch on the market, even a Fitbit will do the trick, the watch will be able to track distance, heart rate and time to make sure you are always performing to better your time with each run. Using a smartwatch will help keep your heart rate at a good level and you'll know when to speed up or slow down accurately. It can be hard to track exact distances ran without this technology too.
Compression Leggings
Now designed for both sexes, compression leggings are one of the best pieces of activewear to improve a run. The leggings have specially designed panels that tighten around selected leg muscles, the compression helps support muscles during the run and also reduces fatigue after exercise. For extended runs and cold outdoor runs, compressions leggings are advised by most professionals. Your legs go through a lot of physical stress during long distance runs and the leggings will reduce recovery time massively. Compression leggings can be expensive to purchase, but they are worth buying if you find your recovery time to be lengthy.
T-shirts
Most top brands offer performance tops that help with sweat and heavy use, dry-fit tops are a common option for most runners now. Asics are offering a new technology known as the GEL-cool tops which absorb sweat a lot better and the top creates a space between your body and the top so the top doesn't feel as clingy during a run. The breathability has also been optimised to keep you warm during the cold runs and release heat during the warm runs.
Jackets
Windproof, lightweight and durable are all features you should look for in a performance running jacket. Although there no direct performance benefits from a jacket, they are now designed to make you as comfortable as possible during any run. The Nike AeroShield jackets are a prime example of an ideal running jacket that will keep you focused on the run.
All easily available garments to look into
and there are some obvious garments to also consider, sweatbands to keep your
hair out the way and mens
trucker caps for ventilation and of course, a
lot of research goes into running shoes so it's worth looking into options best
for your style.
