Early morning sessions before work. Lunchtime loops around the park. Weekend long runs with the club. This running wear adapts to your schedule. Breathable fabrics handle interval training and tempo efforts, while weather-resistant options keep you moving through wind and drizzle.
The pieces layer effectively too. Base layers under windbreakers for cold starts. Vests over tees for changeable conditions. Shorts with compression layers for added support. Mix and match depending on the forecast, the distance, and how you're feeling that day.
Key Features
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
Advanced technical materials draw sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable mile after mile. No heavy, clingy fabric slowing you down – just lightweight performance that moves with you.
Reflective Details
Strategically placed reflective elements catch the light from every angle. Run confidently in low-light conditions, knowing you're visible to traffic and other path users.
Secure Storage Solutions
Zippered pockets keep essentials safe while you move. Hydration vests offer multiple compartments for gels, keys, phone and bottles – all designed to minimise bounce and stay put during your run.
Ergonomic Construction
Flatlock seams lie flat against skin to prevent rubbing on long runs. Articulated cuts follow natural movement patterns. Adjustable features let you fine-tune the fit for maximum comfort over distance.

FAQs
How should running clothing fit?
Running gear should feel close but not restrictive. You want fabric that moves with you without excess material flapping about or riding up during your stride. Windbreakers and jackets should allow room for layering underneath, while base layers can sit closer to the skin. Check the sizing guide for each item, as fits vary between styles – some pieces are designed to be more relaxed, others more streamlined.
How do I care for technical running fabrics?
Wash running clothes in cool water on a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric's technical properties. Avoid fabric softener, which can clog moisture-wicking fibres and reduce breathability. Air drying works best – tumble drying on low heat is fine occasionally, but high heat can damage synthetic materials and elastic components over time.
What makes running attire different from regular sportswear?
Running-specific clothing prioritises lightweight construction, breathability, and freedom of movement over distance. Seams are positioned to avoid chafing during repetitive motion, fabrics are chosen for quick-drying properties, and features like reflective details and secure pockets address the specific needs of outdoor running.
Can I wear this running clothing for other activities?
Absolutely. The same features that make these pieces great for running – breathability, moisture management, unrestricted movement – work well for cycling, gym sessions, hiking, or any active pursuit. The windbreakers and hydration vests are particularly versatile across different outdoor activities.
Who designs Myprotein running wear?
All pieces are created by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on combining functional performance features with contemporary styling. The team tests prototypes in real training conditions to ensure each item performs as intended across different running scenarios and weather conditions.
What's the difference between the black and white windbreakers?
Both windbreakers share the same technical construction, weather resistance, and fit – the only difference is the colour. Choose black for a classic look that hides dirt on muddy trails, or white for better visibility during evening runs and a fresher aesthetic.
How do hydration vests work for running?
Hydration vests distribute weight evenly across your torso using an adjustable harness system. Soft running bottles fit into front pockets for easy access without breaking stride, while rear compartments hold additional gear. The design keeps everything stable and bounce-free, even during faster efforts or technical terrain.
Will these pieces keep me dry in the rain?
The windbreakers offer water-resistant protection against light rain and drizzle, shedding moisture effectively for shorter exposures. They're not fully waterproof jackets, so extended runs in heavy rain will eventually see some water penetration. For most unpredictable British weather, though, they provide ample protection while maintaining breathability that fully waterproof shells often sacrifice.
