BENGALURU/CHENNAI: Rekha Sudarsans activewear wardrobe has grown by 100% since she started running marathons 10 years ago. Earlier, I used to run in mens t-shirts because they used to fit me fine. Now, with the variety of activewear in the market, I feel comfortable in dry-fit garments, she says.

Japanese sportswear company Asics, whose running gear contribute 70% to its topline in India, says women running shoes now make up about 22% of the pie compared to 12% a few years ago.
