Alyssa, a teacher from Eastern Pennsylvania, is fresh off a spring marathon PR and looking to charge into summer training goals—with a pop of color. Her Run Outfit of the Day, from Brooks, is designed to perform in the heat, but she’s also happy to rock it at the local microbrewery with her running club after their weekly workout. Here, from the feet on up, is what she’s wearing.
Brooks Glycerin 16
The new Glycerin 16 is anchored by DNA Loft in the midsole, a cushioning that makes the ride feel plush, yet maintains responsiveness and durability underfoot. The mesh upper is 3D printed, which provides both structure and breathability. Plus, the bottom of the shoe includes plush transition zones, designed to create smooth contact with the road as you push off from heel to toe.
Brooks Chaser 5” Short
Made from a polyester and Spandex blend, the material moves and supports with your stride, while helping to manage moisture. The style comes in four colors, though Alyssa prefers the gray to help contrast with the teal tank.
Brooks Pick-Up Tank
Designed as a sweat-resistant layer over a sports bra, the Pick-Up tank stretches in four different ways to move with you at any pace.
Brooks FastForward Crossback Sports Bra
When the temps skyrocket, the FastForward Crossback bra can act as a standalone running top. The overlapping straps across the back provide support with minimal coverage for more comfortable range of motion while keeping you cool. The bra also comes with adjustable straps for support that is most comfortable for you.
