I focus on creating new fitness content each week to help runners of all ability levels set new personal records.
Sweatshirts provide an effective base layer to maintain a constant body temperature and manage moisture quickly and efficiently, as well as to avoid uncomfortable chafing and irritation caused by traditional fabrics rubbing against your skin while exercising.
Runnerinn offers an assortment of run sweatshirts made with performance fabrics designed to ensure maximum comfort during workout sessions, making these ideal for outdoor running as well as gym work outs.
Comfort
Comfort in running gear should never be underestimated; otherwise it could hinder your running and prevent you from fully focusing on it.
The RunDreamAchieve run sweatshirt is designed to keep you feeling relaxed during any workout, thanks to Dri-FIT technology that keeps sweat at bay while the half-zip design enables coverage adjustments. Thumbholes help seal in warmth while back vents and perforated fabric offer better airflow.
An excellent sweatshirt can make for the ideal base layer when getting dressed for runs, providing additional warmth and moisture control in cool or cold temperatures. Furthermore, you can wear it casually errands or relaxing at home after exercising has concluded.
Warmth
A run sweatshirt can be an effective way to prepare your body for running and workouts. Wear them under tank tops or shorts until your body has warmed up sufficiently, as they help perspiration leave its pores more easily; thus aiding your detox efforts as you release toxins through sweat. Plus, sweating increases heart rates during exercise sessions while burning off calories!
However, if you plan on running with a sweatshirt on, make sure it is worn alongside appropriate clothing and water supplies. Cotton sweatshirts often don't provide adequate ventilation during cold-weather runs because they absorb sweat too quickly, leaving you cold when your sweat eventually reappears. Instead, look for technical fabrics which wick away moisture to stay dry during your workouts.
Consider investing in a full-zip sweatshirt if you know your workout may get hot during or after, enabling you to open it up as needed and allow air in. Hoodies with thumbholes may also help to keep hands warm during rigorous running workouts.
Visibility
Be seen, whether day or night. Wearing bright colors, reflective gear and headlamps are great ways to increase visibility; but wearing a high visibility running hoodie is the quickest and easiest way to ensure car headlights can see you when out running in low light conditions.
Brooks' Run Visible range features vibrant fluorescent and reflective elements on its shoulders, arms, wrists and waist that will catch driver's eyes. A 1/2-zip allows you to customize coverage as desired, and thumbholes help seal in warmth for added insulation. Plush fabric feels comfortable against your skin for an ideal fit!
Compression
Looking at pictures of elite runners or your local running club, you might notice they wear form-hugging clothing that resembles second skins. These tight garments are meant to enhance performance and facilitate recovery in various ways; but how exactly do they work?
Compression clothing works by stimulating more blood flow to compressed areas of your body, thus increasing water, oxygen and nutrients delivery to these compressed regions of the body. This increases water and oxygen delivery and may help decrease exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness while simultaneously helping muscles work more efficiently during workouts.
Closing Thoughts
Run sweatshirts provide comfort by trapping heat close to the body and minimizing chafing from conventional fabrics rubbing against your skin during exercise sessions. Furthermore, compression garments can aid runners with various injuries they commonly encounter, including calf cramps and shin splints by supporting and stabilizing muscles in these areas – Enerskin's Compression Calf Sleeves are specifically designed to combat these common injuries by gently compressing problem areas in order to decrease or eliminate lactic acid build-up that leads to them while helping them remain warm.
Always test on several sizes of running sweatshirts before selecting one that best meets your needs. A snug enough fit should maximize compression's benefits without restricting movement or feeling ungainly or uncomfortable, and fabric consideration should also be made as some options may be more breathable and others designed for colder climates.
