Even though today’s weather has a winter like chill, summer running and sweaty, sun filled workouts are quickly upon us. When one of my fellow Fitfluential Ambassadors asked for some summer workout gear recommendations, I took her question and ran with it. Below you’ll find a few of my favorite pieces that help me beat the heat. This is part one so if there is anything I am missing or any questions you have, drop them in the comments and I’ll address them during part 2, later this week!

Please share your favorite warm weather workout gear in the comments section so we can all discover some new summer gear!
Great list! I don’t care how much socks cost, if they are high quality and anti-blister, I’ll buy them!
I’m a fan of the lululemon racerback tanks for hot weather workouts. I also like stride glide when I wear shorts. I have yet to find a pair of shorts that just stay put for running. Where are those sparkly headbands from?
I must have!
The Sparkly headbands are Sparly Soul and can be found on their website http://www.sparklysoul.com!
Thank you for this post! I just ordered the Lululemon Turbo Run Shorts…can’t wait to get them! I am going to check out the Asics tanks now;-)
I’m in total agreement with Nuun. Love that stuff!
I’m a fan of dry-max socks. I’ve never had any issues with blisters no matter how sweaty my feet got.
I also love Nike’s Dri-fit baseball hats to protect my face from the sun. The band really soaks up sweat so nothing rolls in my eyes. It’s also light weight and breathable.
I HARE running long distances in shorts – but I know I can’t wear crops throughout summer marathon training. Would you recommend those shorts or the Lulu skirt? I have some serious thighs and part of the reason I hate shorts so much is because they CONSTANTLY ride up and I’m just not comfortable in them. I was thinking the running skirt might be a better option?
err – I HATE running in shorts. 🙂
Oh me too Shannon! Within minutes of starting to run my shorts have pretty much disappeared up into my thighs/crotch. I may as well have worn undies to run in. Now I wear tights under my shorts or a skirt. I’ll give these shorts a try as well.
I’d recommend the shorts as they have wider leg holes. Wear them at a Lulu store and run around 🙂
I was just searching your website yesterday for info on the bottoms you wore in the NY Half. I couldn’t tell if they were shorts or a skirt. So thanks for the gear info! Came at a great time! I want to try the run swiftly shirt because I hear they are cut longer. I am only 5ft3 but I feel most shirts fit too short on me.
Love this list! Another must have for summer for me is the swiftly racerbacks – like the shirt, but in a tank version so even more breathable!
Ooo, I totally want one of those sparkly headbands!!! I usually run in shorts during the warmer months but I’m interested in trying a running skirt- any suggestions?!
LOVE sparkly soul headbands…my favorite running accessory….after my Garmin that is!!!
I’m super into lululemon run swiftly tanks (super wicking and breathable) and their groove shorts. haha i used to work there for a few months in boston and totally have a lifetime supply of lulu now!! i need to pick up a good headband, though, to keep my wisps out of my face. nice picks!!
