Shop Running Tops at Myprotein
A running vest or running shirt does more than cover you up — it's the layer between you and the elements, the thing that keeps you comfortable when the kilometres stack up. Myprotein's running tops collection is built for people who take their training seriously, with technical fabrics and thoughtful construction across every style.
Whether you're logging early morning miles or racing through interval sessions on the track, the right running top makes a genuine difference to how a session feels. Find your fit across running vests, running shirts, and running t-shirts — all designed with performance in mind.
Who This Collection Is For
These running tops are made for anyone who runs regularly and wants kit that keeps pace with them. Road runners, trail enthusiasts, parkrunners, and gym treadmill regulars will all find styles that suit their training environment and personal preference.
It doesn't matter if you're building up to your first 5K or deep into marathon training — the collection covers a range of fits and fabrics to match different bodies, paces, and goals. If running is part of your routine, this is kit designed around that.
When to Wear Running Tops
Running vests come into their own on warmer days and harder efforts — the reduced coverage keeps things cool when your heart rate climbs. Running shirts and t-shirts layer up better for cooler conditions or slower, longer runs where you want a little more coverage without sacrificing breathability.
Beyond road running, these tops work well for track sessions, outdoor bootcamps, and gym cardio. Lightweight construction and a relaxed-athletic cut mean they move freely whatever the session demands.
Key Features
Lightweight, Breathable Fabrics
Myprotein's running tops use moisture-wicking materials that pull sweat away from the skin and allow heat to escape. The result is a top that stays dry and comfortable, even when the effort levels are high.
Flatlock Seam Construction
Flatlock seams sit flush against the skin with no raised edges, so there's nothing to irritate or chafe over long distances. It's a detail that makes a real difference once you're past the first hour on your feet.
Streamlined, Distraction-Free Fit
The fit across the collection is shaped to stay in place without restricting movement. Nothing rides up, bunches, or slows you down — just a clean silhouette that lets you focus on the run.
Versatile Styles for Every Condition
From sleeveless running vests built for maximum airflow to short-sleeve running shirts with a touch more coverage, there's a style for every temperature and training preference. The range spans multiple colourways too, so finding one that works for you — aesthetically and practically — is straightforward.

FAQs
What's the difference between a running vest and a running shirt?
A running vest is sleeveless, making it the go-to choice for warm weather or high-intensity sessions where staying cool is the priority. Running shirts have short sleeves, offering a bit more coverage — useful in cooler conditions or for runners who prefer that fit. Both use the same breathable, moisture-wicking construction; it really comes down to personal preference and the conditions you're training in.
How do I choose the right size running top?
Myprotein's size guide is your best starting point — it's based on chest and waist measurements rather than vague sizing labels. Running tops are generally cut with an athletic fit: close enough to avoid excess fabric flapping around, but with enough room to move freely. If you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a snug or slightly more relaxed feel during your runs.
What are Myprotein's running tops made from?
The running tops are made from lightweight, breathable synthetic fabrics — typically polyester-based blends engineered to wick moisture away from the skin. These materials dry quickly, hold their shape after repeated washes, and are designed to handle the specific demands of running rather than general gym use.
How should I care for my running top?
Machine wash on a cool cycle and avoid tumble drying — high heat can break down the technical fibres that give these tops their moisture-wicking properties. Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the fabric surface and any printed detailing. Skip fabric softener too, as it can clog the fibres and reduce breathability over time.
Are these running tops suitable for activities other than running?
Absolutely. The lightweight, breathable construction works well for any cardio-based training — think cycling, HIIT sessions, bootcamps, or gym treadmill work. The fit is athletic without being overly compressive, which makes these tops versatile enough to cover a range of training formats beyond road or trail running.
Who designs Myprotein's running tops?
Myprotein's in-house design team handles everything from fabric selection to construction details and colourway choices. The focus is on building technical running kit that performs across different conditions and training levels — without unnecessary complexity or cost.
Do the running tops come in different colours and styles?
Yes — the collection spans multiple colourways across both vests and shirts, so there's genuine choice whether you prefer bold tones or understated neutrals. Styles are refreshed seasonally, so it's worth checking back regularly if you're after something specific.
Are Myprotein's running tops suitable for all weather conditions?
The running tops in this collection are primarily designed for mild-to-warm conditions where breathability and sweat management matter most. For cold-weather running, layering a lightweight running shirt under a windproof or thermal layer is the practical approach. The moisture-wicking fabric ensures that even as a base layer, you won't feel damp and uncomfortable when temperatures drop.
