w7r2 - what colour to wear??

When the rain eased today, I went for my run...it was a bit cooler, so I wore my long sleeve top and a cap (!) Incase the rain came back on. My run was going great, then on the return I was passed by a male runner (I just kept telling myself guys are naturally faster) and then.....another male runner....who also overtook the first guy.

When I reached 25 mins and dropped my arms down, I had sweaty inside elbows 🙈 ....any suggestions for running gear that doesn't show sweat....should I just wear black??

Great job on the run. I wear all sorts of colours, but do have black on most of the time. I’m reasonably proud of the sweat, so never really gave it any thought... so long as it’s a good technical fabric I’m dry again soon enough.

I proudly show off my sweat, makes me look like I've ran a marathon when really I've only ran to the end of the road! Ha! If you do want to conceal it then black/navy is best and anything which is moisture wicking is best. Avoid grey.

The sweat shows you’ve worked hard, don’t worry about it....wear it with pride, it shows the effort you’ve put into the run 👍

Also those two that run past you might have just began their run, no reason to believe they’re any better than you.

Thanks guys.....I guess I was just overthinking what people would think seeing sweat when I was doing my cool down walk....but really, my beetroot face is more noticeable! 😆
