Some running kit looks good on Instagram. Some kit actually shows up when the miles get tough.
This latest drop from Sweaty Betty is firmly in the second camp.
Born sweaty, built for movement, and designed for women who are done with playing it safe, this collection is all about confidence, performance and showing up exactly as you are. Whether you’re heading out with your run club, training for a race, or just squeezing in a lunchtime 5k, this is kit that works as hard as you do.
Styled by run club co founder Rehana Jade, the collection leans heavily into Sweaty Betty’s technical roots, with pieces that flex, support and never quit halfway through a run.
And honestly, that’s exactly what runners need.
Designed by Runners, Worn With Confidence
As the co founder of Club99, Rehana Jade leads the way when it comes to women running with confidence, community and purpose. Her styling choices here feel real, practical and very runner focused, nothing overly styled or unrealistic.
This is gear for women who sweat, move, push and keep going.
Her go to pieces from the collection say it all, the Runner’s High Power Legging and the new Packaway Jacket. Both are designed to support serious movement while still looking great enough to wear before and after your run.
The Runner’s High Power Legging, A Proper Running Essential
Let’s talk leggings, because runners are picky for a reason.
These aren’t just another pair of leggings. The Runner’s High Power Legging is a proper breakthrough piece, built specifically for running. With next level compression, they feel supportive without being restrictive, ideal for longer runs when your legs need that extra hold.
The standout feature though, five pockets. Five. Enough space for your phone, keys, gels and anything else you refuse to leave behind. No bouncing, no awkward adjusting, just focus on your stride.
If you’re looking for running leggings that actually take running seriously, these are worth a spot in your kit drawer.
Perfect for:
- Long runs and marathon training
- Run club sessions
- Runners who hate carrying anything in their hands
The Runner’s High Packaway Jacket, Light, Practical, Genius
Finding a genuinely good running jacket is harder than it should be. Too bulky, too sweaty, not weatherproof enough, we’ve all been there.
The Runner’s High Packaway Jacket might just be the answer.
It’s ultra light, rain resistant and designed to disappear into its own bag when you don’t need it. Ideal for unpredictable weather, spring runs, or those days when you start in drizzle and finish in sunshine.
This is the kind of jacket you’ll forget you’re wearing, which is exactly what you want mid run.
Perfect for:
- Layering on cooler mornings
- Races where weather is a wildcard
- Runners who like to travel light
The Athlete Vest, Your New MVP Workout Top
No good run outfit is complete without a top that can handle serious sweat.
The Athlete Vest is stretchy, seamless and built for high effort movement. It stays comfortable when things heat up and doesn’t cling or rub, even on longer sessions.
It’s one of those pieces you’ll reach for again and again, whether you’re running, strength training, or heading to Pilates.
Simple, effective, and designed with movement in mind.
