Running in the forest

by Simon Hallberg in Inspiration

Spring is here – the sun is shining, the temperature is rising and nature is coming to life. It’s the perfect time to put on your running shoes and head out into the woods. Birdsong, the scent of newly felled trees and the fresh air make running in the woods a physical and mental boost.

Why forest running in spring?

The forest offers varied and gentle terrain that strengthens muscles and joints, while the softer surface reduces the strain on the body. It is also a fantastic environment to disconnect from everyday stress and truly be in the present.

The right equipment for spring runs

To really enjoy your run, it's important to have workout clothes that work in weather that can shift between sunny and cool. CLN Athletics has developed garments that combine function, fit and style - perfect for spring outdoor workouts.

Our spring favorites:

  • Flow mesh t-shirt & Breeze mesh t-shirt A lightweight, breathable t-shirt that keeps you cool even when the pace increases.
  • Fuse pocket tights High waist, stretchy material and perfect fit - the tights that follow you every step of the way. Plus, with smart pockets for keys or your mobile phone, for example.
  • Rope 2 in 1 shorts For slightly cooler mornings or evening workouts – these shorts provide warmth & support without restricting freedom of movement.

Tips for a successful forest run

  1. Warm up properly – Give your body a chance to come to life before you head out into the terrain.

  2. Adjust your pace – Let the terrain dictate. Sometimes it's better to slow down and focus on your stride.

  3. Look up – Keep an eye out for roots, rocks and paths – the forest demands attention.

  4. Enjoy nature – Stop, breathe and let your surroundings energize you.

      5. Forest running is one of the great gems of spring – and with the right training clothes from CLN Athletics you get comfort, support and style with every step.

Clothes for training in the cold

Working out outside in the cold can be tough, but it's also a chance to strengthen both body and mind. With the right clothing, it's not only possible, but really comfortable. At CLN Athletics, we have a long history of developing workout clothes that work when the weather is challenging. Experience shows that layering is key. A base layer in technical material wicks away moisture, a warming mid layer keeps you comfortably warm, and an outer layer protects against wind and moisture. It creates a balance where you can move freely, without freezing or getting too hot. We design our garments with both function and feel in focus: a fit that follows the body, materials that breathe and last a long time, and a stylish design that feels right every time you put them on. All so that you can feel confident that the clothes will deliver, regardless of the temperature. For us, it's simple: the cold should never stop you. The right clothes make training outside an experience you actually look forward to." The text is written by Simon Hallberg Fitness lover & writer Published: 2025-10-01

Kompressionsplagg för återhämtning

Compression garments for recovery

Recovery is just as important as the workout itself. It's where your body rebuilds the strength you just broke down. Compression garments can be a game changer for helping your muscles recover. By increasing blood flow, they reduce stiffness and fatigue, and make you feel fresher faster. But compression isn't just about function. When the garments fit close to the body, follow your movements and feel stable against the skin, you also get a sense of security and extra focus. It's like a light support that reminds you that your body is ready, whether you're charging for the next workout or winding down after a long workout. At CLN Athletics, we see compression as part of the whole: stylish garments that provide both effect and feel. Comfortable enough for everyday life, technical enough for training, and designed to work for every body. So that recovery feels as natural as the training itself."

Wash workout clothes

Workout clothes are built to perform. But to keep them looking and feeling fresh over time, you need to take care of them properly. Here are our top tips to make your favorite CLN Athletics pieces last longer and perform optimally, wash after wash. 1. Wash as soon as possible after exercise After a tough workout, it's tempting to throw your clothes in the laundry basket or leave them in your bag. But sweat and moisture quickly create an environment where bacteria thrive – and that's what causes bad odor, not just the sweat itself. Do this: Hang your clothes to dry if you can't wash them right away. Don't store them bunched up in a bag or laundry basket. Wash preferably within 24 hours to reduce bacterial growth. 2. Turn the garments inside out before washing It's the inside that collects the most sweat and bacteria – and that's where it smells the most. Turning your workout clothes inside out helps with both hygiene and protects prints, logos and surface materials from wear. Advantages: More effective cleaning where it's needed most. Longer lifespan of colors, prints and textures. 3. Use cold water – 30 to a maximum of 40 degrees Most workout clothes are made from technical functional materials that are sensitive to high temperatures. Washing in water that is too hot can damage the fibers, cause the garments to lose their shape and impair their moisture-wicking properties. Consider: 30 degrees is enough to get rid of sweat and dirt. Avoid programs with prewash or high spin speeds. 4. Skip fabric softener completely Fabric softener may feel like a fresh finish, but it's actually one of the most common reasons why workout clothes lose their function. It forms a film over the fabric and blocks breathability. Fabric softener results: The clothes breathe less well → start to smell faster. Poor moisture transport → feels sticky during exercise. Risk of elastane and stretch material breaking down. 5. Use the right detergent – ​​preferably for sportswear A mild detergent without perfume and bleach is gentler on technical materials. There are also special detergents for sportswear that are developed to effectively neutralize sweat odor. Tip: Avoid overdosing – it will not make the clothes cleaner. Run an empty machine with vinegar occasionally to clean the machine from sweat and detergent residue. 6. Air dry instead of tumble drying The heat in the dryer can destroy elastic fibers and cause garments to shrink or lose their shape. It's better to let your workout clothes air dry – preferably hanging or lying flat. Best way to dry: Hang on a hanger in a ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade colors. 7. Wash workout clothes separately Mixing laundry with jeans, towels or items with zippers can create friction and damage the more delicate materials in your workout clothes. This is especially important if you have mesh, seamless tights or clothes with detailed prints. Please wash separately: Workout clothes (especially light and dark separated). Use laundry bags for extra delicate materials. The text is written by Simon Hallberg Fitness lover & writer Published: 2025-07-03
