Legit, But Cheap Running Clothes and Gear for Under $17

Running should be simple and accessible to every woman (because scientifically it's really good for you). At the heart, it's you, the music, the road or treadmill, and the endorphin-induced zen that follows.

The only downside: Activewear is notorious for being pricey. You could easily (er, accidentally) drop $200 on high-tech running shoes and a fancy fitness tracker with all the bells-and-whistle-metrics. But, here's the thing: You don't have to. You can find seriously good running clothes and gear that are affordable, too. Here are a few favorites that have been wear-tested to stand up to sweat, weather, visibility, and a whole lot of miles.
