I've made no secret of my love for Gymshark workout gear. What first attracted me to the brand was its incredible affordability, but the high performance fabrics and elevated silhouettes are what make me a repeat customer. Perhaps the only thing the gym-based brand had been missing was a capsule of quality, technical running-focused items that could stand up against others on the market - and it's now delivered exactly that.It only takes a quick skim of my Gymshark ruched Sports Bra review to see how highly I rate the brand, and they regularly feature in our roundups of the best leggings, sports bras, and so on. So when news of the running collection dropped, I was understandably excited. And after carefully analysing a range of the hero products, I'm confident that this will be one of Gymshark's most sought-after launches in a while.Yes, the brand is new on the running scene, but this drop marks a huge step up in its offering. We're not just talking basic tights and t-shirts that could make do for a run - these are pieces that will compete with some of your more premium running gear. Think reflective details, breathable mesh fabrics, windproof layers, sweat-wicking leggings with pockets, high support bras, and even a hydration vest with no detail overlooked. And Senior Health Editor and ten-time marathon runner Ally Head agrees, adding: "The new run range from Gymshark looks top class - made from lightweight and durable materials for your spring and summer runs, and designed to be breathable, sweat-wicking, and stylish, the colourways are to die for."These are the investment pieces that I believe will not only make for stylish additions to your kit, but that will genuinely perform for any type of running workout. Best of all, none of it will break the bank either.

Made from a lightweight, breathable fabric that allows for air and moisture flow, this jacket also features reflective details for visibility in low light and a hidden pocket on the chest to hold your essentials. Plus, the elasticated drawcord waist makes this so much more polished than a regular fit jacket.
With mesh back and side panels, this t-shirt is made for sweaty runs. It also features reflective details, and the fabric is so light you'll hardly feel it on. It also has a curve dip to the front and back hem for a contouring effect - a nice detail if you don't really like the look of overly boxy tees.
With multiple pockets - big enough for gels, keys, a phone, and more - this vest fits everything you need. The toggle fastenings promise a secure fit, and it's made from lightweight fabric that won't weigh you down. Plus, it isn't at all bulky or oversized.
Loose fitting and made from premium fabric with heat mapping ventilation, these might be the running shorts you've been missing. They wick sweat, have a supportive ribbed waistband, and reflective details for extra safety. There's also an inner brief, adjustable internal drawcord waist, and a small pocket for keys. Consider every box ticked.
Finding a pair of leggings fit for running is no small task, but I have never been let down by Gymshark. These new running leggings are sweat-wicking, have reflective details, and feature spacious side pockets to fit everything you could possibly need. And in my experience, you can trust them not to roll down.
Made with soft brushed linings, you can expect zero chafing here. And of course, this medium support bra is sweat-wicking, compressive around the bust, and has hook and eye fastenings for and adjustable fit.
If you prefer running shorts with a tighter fit to prevent chafing, this is the pair for you. Aside from the gorgeous pink colour (and the five neutral shades available), they're lightweight, sweat-wicking, and fuller coverage.
If you like a high support bra, this one does it all. It features built in foam cups for support, a padded apex for extra comfort, and a racerback design for range of motion that will suit both long runs and HIIT.
