The darkest days of the year are fast approaching. For many runners, this means training before the sun rises, or after work when it is pitch dark. With our tips, you can also keep it safe during those dark running sessions.
The more striking your clothing, the greater the chance that other road users will notice you from far away. So leave your black standard outfits in the closet and put on your most flashy sports clothes. Fashion guru Jani Kazaltzis may not like it, but you will also receive bonus points if you combine fluorescent material with reflective material. Nowadays there are even sprays that lay a temporary reflective layer over your clothing. Handy!
You are well on your way with fluorescent and reflective running clothes. Which is much safer? Take care of your own lighting! With this, you shine on the floor in front of you, so that you can see where to put your feet. And drivers, of course, see from a great distance that a runner is coming. Think not only of white front light such as a headlamp but also a red rear light, for example, a run light that you wear comfortably in a "harness".
