Whether you’re on poorly lit roads or pitch black trails, running lights are an essential piece of running kit. Here is everything you need to know to choose the best running lights for you.
Jacket on, jacket off, leggings or shorts, gloves, no gloves, hat? Getting ready for your run during winter can be a tough decision - it can be easy to over dress (or under dress). Luckily, activewear has come a long way in recent years, designed in performance enhancing material that’s both lightweight and insulating, meaning you only need a few essential items to keep you warm and run-ready.
Using technical fabrics to keep dry and comfortable can make all the difference to your run whether you're running your first 5k or marathon.
So it’s important to invest in technical clothing that is both sweat-wicking and breathable. Instead of trapping the moisture next to your skin, these fabrics move it away, allowing it to sit on the outside of the fabric, to evaporate, minimising chaffing and maximising your comfort.
