In the fall-winter period, you should not be sparing on the right clothing, which will improve the comfort of training. Sweatshirts and running reflective jackets must above all protect from rain and bad wind and provide ventilation. Also special is thermal underwear, thin gloves and a breathable cap. You also need to be aware of safety. After dark, drivers can hardly see runners in dark clothes, so it is important to take care of visibility and to get glare.
Lower temperatures and less sunshine should not be a reason to stop running and regular training. However, in the autumn you need to invest in suitable clothing.
- The clothes we choose in the autumn should primarily guarantee thermal protection. It must therefore be made of breathable materials that allow excess moisture to pass, protect against fine rain and wind and do not cause abrasion, "says the Newsier Lifestyle agency Marceline Patiala, head of the jogging industry, walking Decathlon.
The basic element should be thermal underwear. Particularly important here is the upper part, a T-shirt running or a tight-fitting long sleeve shirt with reflective tape.
"We recommend the body skirt, which perfectly adheres to the body, provides thermal comfort, removes excess moisture and, above all, ensures the reduction of abrasions that we may get while running," explains Marceline Patiala.
A good choice should be leggings made of delicate and soft to the touch. Such gaiters at the belt level and at the back of the knees have special inserts, so-called. It is also important to have the right supplements to help protect your head and hands.
"It is worth to wear thin gloves that provide thermal comfort, special buffs, neck bands that protect us from the wind, and lightweight lyre caps that also provide thermal comfort," emphasizes Marceline Patiala.
Shoes must be adjusted to the type of surface we will run on.
- If we continue running on the asphalt, it is recommended to run in the same shoes. If we choose forest paths, the road in the park, it is worth to buy off-road running shoes that have an aggressive tread, their drop is bigger, we also have a series of boots that are waterproof and provide protection from rain - says Marceline.
In autumn, the dusk falls much earlier and runners should ensure that they are visible to other traffic users. You also have the option of accessories that make it easy to run after dark and provide safety.
- All items of clothing, from sweatshirts and trousers have reflective elements on each side, so we are visible to traffic participants. We also have many different accessories, such as bands or special lamps that give us visibility. Lamps should be frontal, so called. Headlights that we can mount on the forehead, on the head and then we are visible to other people and ourselves also illuminate the road - says Marceline.
For every next season, manufacturers are offering solutions that should meet the needs of even the most demanding runners. One of the more interesting solutions is the inner pocket. On the side that touches the body, it is made of special material and so the phone or documents are protected from excessive moisture - says Marceline.
