The Runner Those who run often become addicted to this intense, high cardio workout. A runner’s wardrobe should be full of great basics along with a lightweight jacket perfect for pre and post run warming that also can keep the elements off on cool winter days. Shorts and pants that mix comfort with style and a killer pair of shoes are also essential.
