Running is one of the least expensive events at the triathlon. You do not need any fancy triathlon apparel to run and the investment you make can see you through as many races as you want. A triathlon is an athletic event that tests the athlete’s endurance in three separate sports – swimming, cycling and running.When you are training, running clothing need not be anything fancy. Wear clothes that you are comfortable in. Clothes you would wear for a regular workout in the gym would suffice.The triathlon requires the athletes to have optimal fitness levels in order to just complete the race, let alone to actually compete and place well.
Athletes participating in a triathlon are required to complete all the three, starting with the swimming, then the cycling and last, but not least, the running, in the shortest possible time. Athletes who want to succeed in a triathlon, not just finish, but actually compete, need to invest in the best triathlon clothing available in the market.
As far as running is concerned, clothing is not given its due respect because participants feel that anything will do. But, since the sport is about speed, there are some things to keep in mind while choosing running clothing.
A special note for women: Good, supportive bras are a must. These bras should offer just the right kind of support without being restrictive. Some suits have inbuilt support. The thumb rule when it comes to bras is to change them after 70-75 washes as these tend to become loose and unsupportive at that stage.
