Running In The Cold: Be Seen

4.BE SEEN

With limited daylight, chances are you’ll be running in the dark (Capetonians suffer the most during the winter with much longer nights).

Wear reflective, fluorescent gear, and don’t be shy about lighting yourself up like a Christmas tree, says RW’s own Ed Eyestone, who runs in freezing Utah. It’s about being visible (and safe), not about looking good.

Says Adam Feerst, a coach and trail-race director, “I use a headlamp or carry a flashlight, less so I can see where I’m going and more so people can see me.”
