Rainy Day Running Gear

It is well known that running has many benefits to human health. There are many running enthusiasts around us. Whether it is morning or evening, whether it is sunny or rainy, you can see them running. However, the roads are slippery and the temperature is low on rainy days, which is not particularly suitable for running. When running on a rainy day, it is necessary to pay attention to preventing respiratory infections and match the right rainy day running equipment.

1. Running shoes

The most important equipment for a runner is of course the running shoes. Some running shoes will become particularly heavy after being filled with water, so it is recommended to use special triathlon running shoes for running on rainy days. Generally, triathlon running shoes will be designed with drainage grooves on the soles, which can better solve the big problem of running shoes when used for training on rainy days.

2. Hat or cap

Wear a hat, or hoodie, to keep the rain out of your eyes. In colder temperatures, consider adding a headscarf or headband to keep you warm. A waterproof hat can keep your head dry and warm. If you don't mind, you can actually wear a shower cap. Although it looks ridiculous, it is very effective. In situations where the temperature is not very low, a topless hat is the best choice because it can dissipate heat effectively.

3. Glasses

When running in the rain, wearing a pair of glasses will also provide good protection for your eyes. Good anti-fog glasses can keep your vision good in humid conditions.

4. Jackets, vests, garbage bags

Invest in a lightweight, waterproof jacket that will keep you dry in cold and rainy weather, and will also be useful on weekdays. Some rain jackets aren't designed specifically for running, so they may not be particularly breathable, but they will do a good job of keeping the rain out. On relatively warm rainy days (such as summer), you can wear an ultra-light rain jacket or vest. Before the game, find a large garbage bag and cut a hole in the bottom for your head to pop out of. For those who are more particular about fashion, you can choose a slightly smaller drawstring bag, which will look better. I did this once during a half marathon and found that the photos turned out very well.

5. Lightweight, dark, moisture-wicking clothing

Moisture wicking is key, it draws moisture away from your skin, thus preventing chafing and blisters from occurring. Wearing tighter clothing will also help prevent chafing. In addition, on rainy days, light-colored sports bras, tops or pants will become transparent when they get wet, so it is best to prepare dark-colored clothes on rainy days. Moisture-wicking socks: A pair of moisture-wicking socks will effectively prevent blisters from occurring.

What are some similarities with outdoor travel equipment include some protective equipment. For example, prepare Vaseline and apply it on your feet, arms, nipples, the edges of your sports bra, and other places where it may be scratched. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that running on rainy days also depends on the weather conditions. If it is raining heavily, it is better to exercise indoors for safety. 41 Running skills and movement essentials
