— About

Started at mile 23.
Became a shirt at mile 26.2.
Now it's the most relatable thing in your closet.

— The story

MyLegsHurt started at mile 23 of the Chicago Marathon, when the founder realized the only honest thing left to say was: "my legs hurt."

Not a brave thing. Not a profound thing. Just the truth — yelled internally at the asphalt while the spectators yelled "you got this!" (We did not got this. Our legs hurt.)

Three months later, the words ended up on a shirt. The shirt ended up on every group run, every brunch, every awkward elevator ride the day after a race. Strangers nodded at strangers. Daughters bought it for dads. Pace groups bought it for their slowest member, lovingly.

Now it's a brand. Six shirts, one feeling, no apologies. Made when you order it. Shipped from the closest hub. Worn until the print fades — and then worn for two more years anyway.

— Why print on demand

No warehouses.
No waste. No wait
— well, a little wait.

01
You order.
You pick a size, you check out. We don't have a giant pile of shirts in a basement. We have a design and a partner.
02
We print.
Your shirt is printed on demand at the nearest hub — US, EU, UK, or AU — usually within 2–5 business days. Less freight, less waste.
03
You wear it.
Shows up at your door. You wear it to brunch. Strangers nod. The cycle continues.
