Best Women’s Running Gear
I’ve been running distance since college as a former soccer player and now marathon racer. I’ve tried almost every popular running short, legging, and bra, and have concluded that lululemon is by far the best when it comes to running clothes that perform incredible and feel the absolute best.
In case you weren’t aware, lululemon does have a specific running line of clothes that is made with fabric to withstand constant friction, hug in all the right places so your leggings don’t fall down and bras that won’t chafe.

Best lululemon Running Clothes
After running multiple marathons over the years, I’ve listed my favorite lululemon running clothes and shoes by category that I promise is worth the investment to have you feeling your best mile after mile.
Best lululemon Running Shorts:
Track that High Rise 5” Shorts
These are the perfect running shorts for any body size! They are high waist but not compressing and have a roomy open thigh so they don’t rise up.
While there is a 3”, I prefer the 5” since I have thicker thighs.
Wunder Train 6” Shorts
The Wunder Train is my favorite compressing fabric from lululemon because it’s just tight enough to stay in place (no moving waistband), doesn’t show cellulite, dries very quickly, and is still soft to wear anytime of day.
Best lululemon Leggings for Running:
Fast and Free Leggings with Pockets
These leggings are sleek and weightless, and made specific to run any distance without chafing or having the waistband slide down as you run.
I run with my phone in my side pocket and gu/keys in my back pocket, and I never feel them slide around during my runs.
Once you run in these leggings you won’t ever grab for another pair! I also recommend sizing up if between sizes.
Best lululemon Bra for running
Energy Bra, Medium Impact
If you’re an A-C cup size, this is a great sports bra that is excellent for running up to half-marathon distance.
It’s very comfortable and I’ve never chafed wearing this bra.
Go Further Bra, High Impact
If you have a D cup size or larger, I highly recommend this running bra for a secure fit that doesn’t constrict you either.
It’s made for long distance running and the support is like nothing I’ve ever felt from a running bra.
Swift Speed Cropped Tank Top
This fitted tank also has a built-in bra and I love wearing this as my main shirt in the summer months.
It even has a built-in phone storage pocket that stays put!
Best lululemon Running Shirts:
Sculpt Tank Top
From sweaty workouts to runs, this is my most worn and loved tank top. It’s super lightweight, quick-drying, and has an easy fit that floats away from your body.
It comes in a crop top and longsleeve version as well.
Jersey Training Graphic T-Shirt
The MOST comfortable and perfect relaxed fit shirt to go with bike shorts. It’s sweat-wicking, soft, durable, and it’s even treated with No-Stink Zinc™ to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
Swiftly Tech Shirt
My favorite fitted running shirts of all time is from the Swiftly Tech line, especially the longsleeve. They are seamless, lightweight, and have no-stink technology.
This line comes in anywhere from tank tops, crops, and longsleeve.

Best Running Shoes:
Split Shift Running Shoe
The newest running shoes from lululemon that is now in my rotation with my On Cloud’s, and I couldn’t be happier.
I really like a rocker feeling of being propelled forward in my road shoes and these do just that. They are great for a quick 5k to 10k or speed drills since they’re so lightweight.
Wildfeel Trail Running Shoes
My now go-to trail runners after a lot of testing against Hoka, Salomon, and Altra.
They have a glove-like fit on top and the sole is just thick and wide enough to support against any rocks and roots along the trail. The grip is also incredible.
lululemon has a 30-day trial to test out the shoes or return for a full refund!
Best Running Accessories
Fast and Free Ponytail Hat
The best hat to run in if you like wearing high ponytails like I do! It’s really lightweight and breathable, and it also is adjustable to dial in the fit perfectly.
Fast and Free Run Gloves
Hands down the best activewear gloves I’ve owned for 5 years now! They are light but still fleece-lined to keep your hands warm without getting sweaty. I wear these from running to snow-shoeing.
Down for It All Ear Warmer
A perfect thickness for running. It’s insulated and water-repellent so you don’t have to worry about sweating while running in the cold.
