Running Apparel and Ultra Running


Buy Ultra Running Gear from INKnBURN.com
Ultra running requires a great deal of determination, hard work, and preparation. Being properly prepared can mean preparing for years for just one event. Because of this, it is just as important to have the right running apparel.
Choosing running apparel for this type of running is not much different than selecting the right attire for long distance running. In general you want lightweight clothing that allows for your pores to breath. The material of the clothing should also be made of something that allows for sweat to easily escape and not “soak up” into the material.
The main difference with ultra-running is the changes with just a long event. You need to be ready for temperature changes as well as body changes when running in excess of 30, 50, and even 100 miles! For example, having extra “add on” sleeves like those from INKnBURN is a great option. When you get too cold you can simply put on sleeves. Having options like these is what it means to have a properly prepared running apparel wardrobe.

Ultra Running and What You Wear


"If you’ve gone ultra running, you know that well designed running shirts are much more comfortable. "
When it comes to Ultra Running, what you wear has a big impact on your performance. Wearing uncomfortable clothing or shirts not specifically designed for the task can make this difficult activity even more cumbersome. 

Ultra running is an extremely difficult type of distance running. It involves running distances sometimes longer than marathons! For casual jogs normal shirts with common inks are fine. However, the sweating and movement of long distance running make this ink very uncomfortable. In addition, the overall “feel” of most regular tees ends up constricting runners when doing such long distances.

If you’ve gone ultra running, you know that well designed running shirts are much more comfortable. INKnBURN designs a Tech Shirt tailored to be lightweight, comfortable, and even tag-less! When running ultra long distances even the tag matters.
