To be best prepped and ready-to-run all year round, you’ll need suitable headgear as well as a comfortable running outfit and good shoes. Unlike cycling, your running speed usually remains relatively constant over the course and wind protection plays a less important role. But, whatever the season, you’ll benefit from highly breathabie headwear. In the winter, training caps and headbands keep you warm, whilst on hot training and competition days, caps and visors provide sun protection and act as sweat catchers over the eyes.
