Shop Running Clothing at Myprotein

Finding the right running gear makes every stride more comfortable. Whether you're logging miles on the road, tackling trail routes, or pushing through interval sessions, the clothes you wear can transform your run. Our running clothing collection brings together breathable fabrics, secure fits, and thoughtful details designed for serious runners.

From moisture-wicking base layers to weather-resistant outer shells, each piece in this range is built to handle the demands of regular training. Choose from lightweight shorts for summer sessions, thermal leggings for winter miles, and versatile tops that transition seamlessly from warm-ups to cool-downs. Everything here is designed by people who understand what runners actually need.

Who This Collection Is For

This range suits anyone who runs regularly, whether you're training for your first 5K or logging 50 miles a week. You'll find pieces that work for steady-pace road runs, tempo sessions, long weekend routes, and everything in between. The sizing runs from XS to XXL across both men's and women's styles, with fits that account for different body types and movement patterns.

Road runners will appreciate the reflective details and streamlined cuts, while trail enthusiasts can rely on durable fabrics that handle rough terrain. If you're someone who runs year-round, you'll find seasonal options here too – from airy mesh vests for hot days to insulated layers for cold morning starts. This is clothing for people who take their running seriously, even if they don't take themselves too seriously.

When to Wear These Pieces

These pieces are built for actual running sessions – the early morning pre-work miles, lunch break tempo runs, and weekend long routes. The technical fabrics handle sweat without clinging, whilst the cuts allow natural arm swing and stride patterns. You'll reach for these items when the weather's unpredictable, when you're pushing pace, or when comfort over distance really matters.

Beyond dedicated running sessions, this gear works brilliantly for active warm-ups, post-run stretching, and general training days. The streamlined designs mean you can layer them under shells for cycling commutes or wear them solo for gym cardio sessions. They're practical enough for everyday athletic activities, yet technical enough for race day.

Key Features

Moisture Management

Quick-drying fabrics pull sweat away from your skin, keeping you comfortable during high-output efforts. The materials dry fast between sessions too, which matters when you're training frequently.

Movement-Focused Construction

Flatlock seams sit smooth against skin to prevent chafing on longer runs. Stretchy panels are positioned where you need flex most – around shoulders, across the back, through the hips – so nothing restricts your natural gait.

Practical Storage Solutions

Secure zip pockets keep essentials like keys and gels accessible without bouncing. Reflective trims increase visibility during early morning or evening runs without adding bulk.

Seasonal Versatility

Lightweight options with ventilation zones work for warm conditions, whilst thermal base layers and weather-resistant shells handle rain and cold. Mix and match pieces to adapt to changing temperatures throughout your training year.

FAQs

How does the sizing run for running clothing?

The sizing follows standard UK measurements and tends to run true to size with a performance fit – close enough to prevent fabric flapping, but with enough room for natural movement. If you prefer a looser feel or plan to layer heavily underneath, consider sizing up. Check the specific size guide on each product page for chest, waist, and hip measurements to find your best fit.

What's the best way to care for technical running fabrics?

Wash items inside out on a cool cycle (30°C) to protect the fabric structure and any reflective details. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce moisture-wicking properties. Air drying works best – tumble drying on low is fine occasionally, but regular heat exposure can break down elastic fibres over time.

Can I wear these pieces for activities other than running?

Absolutely. The moisture-wicking fabrics and flexible construction work brilliantly for cycling, circuit training, rowing, or any activity where you're generating heat and moving dynamically. Many runners wear these pieces for gym sessions, outdoor sports, and active recovery days too.

Are the materials suitable for year-round running?

The collection includes options for different seasons. Lightweight mesh tops and short shorts handle warm weather, whilst thermal base layers and weather-resistant jackets tackle cold and wet conditions. Layering different pieces lets you adapt to temperature changes throughout the year – a long-sleeve base under a windproof shell works for winter, whilst a vest alone suits summer miles.

Who designs the running clothing?

Myprotein's in-house design team creates all the running clothing. They work with feedback from runners across different distances and abilities to develop practical features that address real training needs – like strategically placed pockets, ventilation zones where you actually overheat, and seam placement that avoids common friction points.

How do I choose between different styles of running tops?

Consider your typical running conditions and personal preferences. Sleeveless vests maximise airflow for hot weather or high-intensity intervals. Short sleeves offer versatility for most conditions. Long sleeves provide coverage for cooler days or sun protection during summer trail runs. Seamless options reduce chafing risk on longer distances, whilst standard construction often costs less for similar performance.

Will reflective details stay visible after multiple washes?

The reflective elements are designed to maintain visibility through regular washing when you follow care instructions. Washing inside out and avoiding harsh detergents helps preserve the reflective coating. After many months of frequent use and washing, some fading is natural, but the details should remain functional for the typical lifespan of the garment.

What makes running-specific clothing different from general athletic wear?

Running clothing prioritises features that matter during repetitive forward motion – chafe-free seams positioned away from areas that rub with each stride, lightweight fabrics that don't restrict arm swing, and secure pockets that don't bounce. The fits tend to be more streamlined than general gym wear to reduce wind resistance and fabric flapping, whilst still allowing the full range of motion your running gait requires.
