When it comes to running clothing, as with footwear, functionality, quality and comfort should take priority - although there's no denying that the look and style of the outfit also play a key role in motivation. Once again, we asked Daniel Harder, running expert at New Balance, for his opinion on the subject of running clothing.

"Running clothing should preferably be made from synthetic, functional fabrics such as polyester or polyamide," explains Daniel Harder. "These breathable materials don't absorb moisture, but transport it outwards - so the T-shirt or shorts/trousers don't feel any heavier." What's more, as you sweat, a light layer of perspiration forms on your skin, which has a cooling effect.
