I mean... Where the hell else are they going to wear running gear, branded or not? I'm nowhere near that level, but I absolutely have favorite running gear that I prefer to wear, no matter the distance of the race.

I suppose everyone has their own preferences. If people reaaaally want to wear their Death Run 69420miler UltraPersistence shirt to a two-lap-round-the-village local 5k race then go wild I guess, ain't nothing stopping you, just feels a bit tone deaf to me.

As for wearing running shirts, I guess it depends. I have a few plain Brooks or New Balance shirts that I just enjoy wearing on warm days, or even a Disneyland Paris wicking shirt that's just quite comfortable.

That said, I personally purposefully don't wear any of my "achievement" finisher shirts, I just hang them up above my gym mats in my garage - perhaps as a source of inspiration.

Having a "favourite" running gear is awesome though. I've got a couple of shirts and pairs of shirts myself and it's awesome having a set of gear that just works when you're out on tarmac.
