Running in the rain: how to dress and other tips
- Clothing must be technical and made of synthetic fabric . Forget cotton t-shirts, as they will absorb water and not dry out. At Beatfit we have a wide variety of sets, leggings and tops that are fully breathable and made to provide maximum comfort to the sporty woman.
- The first thing that occurs to us when it rains is to put on a raincoat, however, this garment will only cause us to sweat excessively .
- Keep in mind that during these days the temperatures are not so low, therefore, if the cold of our city allows us, we can run with a short-sleeved technical shirt and shorts. Don't be afraid of the water! It is preferable for our skin to get wet than for the garment to end up soaked.
- The windbreak can also be an option. We will only use it in case it was very cold or windy. Remember that these garments are usually not very breathable.
- If the rain is very heavy, wear a cap or visor to improve your visibility, especially if you wear glasses.
- One of the most important aspects is to keep your feet protected. Use waterproof shoes . On the other hand, it is essential that they provide a good grip to avoid slipping falls.
- The socks must be technical and anti-chafing . If you suffer from blisters frequently, apply some Vaseline to the area before going for a run.
- The reflective elements will make you be seen by drivers, thus increasing your safety. In case your clothing is not reflective you can add bands or mini lights.
