Ladies and gentlemen, the picture you are looking at above is not your ordinary running outfit. This shirt, shorts, and hat are supercharged body armor. When I wear this outfit, I feel like I can run a mile at a sub-3-minute pace or run a marathon without taking a sip of water. I'm embellishing a little, but my point is this is my all-time FAVORITE running outfit. Is it old? Absolutely. But if I'm running a long distance or a race event, chances are this is the attire you will find me wearing.

 My athletic wear brands of choice:

Shirts 

NA – I admittedly rarely buy running shirts. Most of the shirts I own are technical T-'s I received from participating in races. Call me cheap, but that's money saved, baby!

Shorts 

Nike – I'm not a big fan of Nike running shoes, but the company does make great running shorts, hints the photo above.

Shoes 

Saucony, Asics, Adidas – Saucony, Asics, Adidas – In my opinion, all three brands are equally good. But if forced to choose between the three, I would say Saucony.

Hats

Reebok - As a Bald man, I must wear a hat to protect my head from the sun. Reebok makes some great dri-fit running hats and skull caps. What’s even better is the prices are reasonable. Saving money baby !
