Yes, specialized running clothes differ significantly as they are made from technical, extremely lightweight materials that effectively manage moisture. They quickly wick sweat away from your skin so you stay dry, feature heat-sealed seams or seamless construction to prevent irritation and chafing in sensitive areas, and often incorporate reflective details for safe night training.

To start road running comfortably and safely, besides the right shoes, the essential accessories you will need are:

• Technical running socks: Seamless to prevent blisters.
• Running belt or armband: To safely carry your phone, keys, or gels.
• Water bottle or soft flask: For easily accessible hydration.
• Running cap or headband: For protection against the sun and sweat.

The renewal rate depends on usage frequency and the type of equipment:

• Running shoes: Need replacement every 600 to 800 kilometers, as the cushioning midsole loses its shape.
• Technical socks & sports bras: Should best be renewed every 6 to 12 months as soon as you notice a loss of elasticity.
• Technical apparel: Lasts for several years, provided it is replaced when breathable fibers or reflective elements wear out.
