Best Running Shirts
Wick it and Forget it!

The best running shirts fit comfortably, breathe when you need them to and wick away your sweat. Wicking is key to any great running shirt. Nobody wants to drag around all a bunch of unnecessary weight to the finish line. Wick it and forget it!

Chafing is a huge problem too. If you wear a cotton shirt on a long run, you’ll understand. Let’s just say that the nips will not be happy.

Here’s my custom running shirts list of three helpful styles I used to train and finish my first marathon.

Basic Running Tee Shirt
I’m not sure I can call the Under Armour HeatGear® Full T basic… as their description states, “HeatGear® moisture transport ensures fast drying performance that keeps you cool and won’t weight you down.” Sounds fairly high-tech to me! I got a couple of these for $20 each and alternated/wash between training days. This is my staple and I still train with these to this day.

Running Tank Top or Singlet
I only recently started wearing tank tops for training. Very nice! It’s light, very breathable and very fast! They are always usually mad of a great soft/smooth material bringing the chafage-o-meter down a few notches. Most likely, you’ll get one of these in your pre-race marathon packet. Rookie tip – don’t wear the race-day shirt until after you’ve completed your race. It’s more of a trophy than anything.

Long Sleeve Running T-Shirt
What is the most important advice I can give you for clothing? Layers, layers and layers. If it’s a brisk morning throw a long sleeve shirt over your short sleeve to help keep the warmth in. As the temperature rises, take it off and tie it around your waist.

Overall, the best running shirts will fit comfortably, breathe and wick the sweat away. Contact us if you have a recommendation for this list.

I support my growing family through this website.

If you find this as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.

If you've gotten your gear through one of my links such as Amazon or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!

If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.

The biggest help is to use this link to Amazon when you get your goodies. It costs you nothing and is a huge help. Amazon usually has the best prices and service, which is why I've used it since before this website existed. I recommend it personally.

Also, if you're thinking about building a website, check out Site Build It! It's how I built this website and more importantly started making additional monthly income.

Thanks for reading!
