How to Dress Like a Runner

If you're just getting started with running, you may be wondering what you should wear for your runs. One of the things I love about running is that you don't need a lot of fancy equipment or expensive running clothing. Your most important piece of gear is a good pair of running shoes. So, don't go digging out those old tennis shoes from the back of your closet and assume you can run in them. You'll need fresh, well-cushioned shoes that are designed for running, fit well and match your foot type and running style, so it's best to go to a running specialty store and get fitted for the right shoes.

And, ladies, it's important to wear a good, supportive sports bra, especially if you're large-chested. It should fit you properly and not be too stretched out.

Whether you're running in cold or warm weather, you'll want to wear the appropriate clothing to keep you comfortable and safe. Get tips on how to dress for any kind of conditions:
