Rain on the street. And even with the wind. Should we cancel jogging? Nothing like this! Experts recommend not to postpone training until the onset of good weather: after all, you can wait for it for a long time. If it's bad weather outside the window, you just need to choose the right equipment.
Rain gear
If it was warm outside the window, it was better to dress easily for running in the rain. Multifunctional sportswear with the ability to "breathe" is suitable. This form does not interfere with the passage of air, removes moisture from the surface of the body and dries quickly enough.
You should not run in damp weather in cotton clothing. This material gets wet quickly and becomes heavy. It is also not recommended to wear polyester leggings: they can be hot in warm weather. Better to use shorts.
Cover your shirt or T-shirt with a waterproof windbreaker. If it gets hot, you can take it off.
Protect your head with a light cap with a visor. This will prevent raindrops from falling on your face. A cap is hard to do without if you have to wear glasses. The visor will reliably protect the lenses from moisture.
Wet-Weather Running Shoes
Rainy weather causes slush. Such a coating impairs the adhesion of the shoe to the surface. How to avoid slipping? Your best bet is to stock up on a pair of special running shoes with a very deep tread. With this outsole, the runner will feel confident on the treadmill, on tarmac or grassy ground. A well-designed protector will prevent your feet from slipping and reduce the risk of injury.
When you run in heavy rain or on damp ground, your shoes will get wet. Experienced athletes go for a trick: they put on plastic bags over thin socks, and only then - sneakers. Feet in this outfit will remain dry, and sneakers are easy to dry after training. It will be useful to stick a patch on the folds of the foot before running: wet weather promotes the formation of calluses.
Rain Exercise Tips
Do a gentle warm-up before jogging in wet weather. It is best to do warm-up exercises under a roof or a canopy: what's the point of getting wet ahead of time? It is recommended to complete the workout with a set of exercises to restore breathing. This part of the lesson is also best done in a hiding place. Here, if necessary, you can quickly change into dry clothes, if you prudently took them with you, placing them in a waterproof bag and throwing them into a light backpack. You don't need a cold.
If you can't imagine your life without a smartphone or other useful electronic devices (including a player), then place them in a waterproof case before training. A regular plastic bag will do. Moisture can quickly damage electronics.
