I Treat Myself to New Gear Each Fall — Here's What I'm Eyeing Now
:upscale()/2020/09/16/754/n/1922729/b4afc69f5f624626f083d0.11019488_.jpg)
I'll admit it: a large portion of my closet is fitness apparel. Because I spend a better part of the year deep in a running training program, I gladly make way in my wardrobe for all things sweat-wicking, cooling, insulated, and all-around performance ready. But because I regularly wear in fitness attire, I allow myself the opportunity to splurge on new run-ready gear each fall.
For me, this is the perfect time to retire some of the gear I've trained in all year and raced in during the spring and summer, and break in some new pieces right before things get too chilly. With my fall fitness wardrobe just itching to break free, here's what I'm eyeing right now from Under Armour to get me on my way to another great season of training.

Charged Cotton® Short Sleeve
One of my favorite pieces of workout attire is a classic tee. The Charged Cotton® Short Sleeve ($35) has the softness of cotton but dries a lot quicker — a quality I'm sure to need when I'm logging miles each week.

Armour® Mid Crossback 2W Sports Bra
Sports bras may be the most essential part of my workout closet. The right one lets me work out in peace, and the wrong one can ruin my whole day. Right now, I'm looking at the Armour® Mid Crossback 2W Sports Bra ($35) for its medium-support fit, supportive criss-cross back, and double-layer HeatGear® fabric.

The HeatGear® Armour Printed Shorty ($30) boasts a lightweight, four-way stretch construction that allows you to move chafe-free while lifting, stretching, running, and more.

Project Rock HeatGear® Bike Shorts
As of late, my go-to for running workouts has been bike shorts. The Project Rock HeatGear® Bike Shorts ($45) boast an ergonomic and chafe-free seam, as well as a high-rise waist for true coverage and support.

UA RUSH™ High Sports Bra
For more intense workouts like cross training and HIIT exercises, the UA RUSH™ High Sports Bra ($65) maintains maximum support. Count on the thick straps, higher neck, sweat-wicking band, and hook-and-eye closure for ease.

UA Streaker Racer Tank
Sometimes you can't beat a classic. The UA Streaker Racer Tank ($35) makes my gear list for its legendary UA Microthread technology that allows the fabric to dry faster when you start sweating.

UA Charged Impulse Knit Running Shoes
Probably the piece of fitness apparel I have to update the most are my running sneakers. One of my recent go-tos has been the UA Charged Impulse Knit Running Shoes ($80). I'm looking at scooping up another pair because I'm such a fan of the Charged Cushioning® midsole that makes for a gentle impact.

UA Meridian Heather Leggings
Between the soft green coloring of the UA Meridian Heather Leggings ($70) and the supersoft stretchy knit, this pair is sure to be my weekly go-to all season long.
