THE 5 BEST TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL RUN IN THE RAIN
RUNNING IN THE RAIN….
Not even scared, we have to jump in the water…!!!
Rain gives wings to your running, rain gives you energy: Believe it or not, rain really does make you wet, but strangely enough, you might find yourself running much faster than usual on the same route. It's crazy!
So go go go ……
Our top 5 tips for a successful run in the rain:
When it rains, you should avoid cycling shorts, whether short or long, because these will store water and cool the muscle throughout the race.
Noliju has several suitable technical products that are water-repellent and quick-drying.
We have made a special selection for running in the rain, and we recommend the Arno t-shirt, or for summer the David shorts.
To protect yourself from the wind and rain there is theMax windbreaker, made of technical and breathable materials.
Opt for classic, non-tight shorts , which allow the thighs to breathe more easily: water does not stagnate and will be better drained, especially if you have taken care to apply oil to your legs beforehand.
Wear a short-sleeved technical T-shirt and a water-repellent windproof jacket, depending on the intensity of the rain and how sensitive you are to the cold.
When it rains, the T-shirt becomes heavier and sticks more to the skin, which can cause irritation; apply cream or oil to the chest and arms.
Choose a cap with a brim that will protect your face from the rain and allow you to see more clearly when the downpours are intense.
Running in the rain
- It's good for your mental state: Going out and running in the rain is ultimately a sign of courage. Few runners manage to stay motivated. That's why facing unpredictable weather helps strengthen your mental fortitude, which will be invaluable on race day when you feel like giving up.
- And what a joy it is to come home to the warmth, to take a nice hot shower followed by a tea or coffee. After that battle against your legs, yourself, and the rain, you deserve to treat yourself when you get home. No matter the reward !
So go go go ……
