Fresh Air, Fresher Gear: A Marathon Season 'Fit Guide
'Tis the season! Nope, not that one quite yet. Here's a hint: The other day, nearly 60.000 people ran the marathon in Highsnobiety's native Berlin, including a now locally famous 82-year old – what's your excuse?
Anyhow! When the leaves change their colors, and the temperatures start to drop, it can really only mean one thing: it's running season. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the chilly winds one pushes through on a breathy stride through the park, along water, or over a lantern-lit bridge.
Just know that, sideline enthusiast, bloody beginner, steadfast intermediary, or city medalist – regardless of where you're situated across these levels, a runner's gear is the be-all and end-all to getting started, improving, and, most importantly, having fun. That said, we plucked from Lululemon's extensive choices in athletic wear to curate an assortment of necessary purchases.
Marathon Season? High Time for Lululemon Running Gear!
Down Vest
A good down vest is an autumn staple if we've ever seen one. This particular model weighs next to nothing but'll keep your torso warm and protected on a cooler day's sprint.
Light Jacket
Alternately, a light jacket keeps you rain-proof and acclimated as to not get too heated or too cold.
Half-Zip
Beneath the outerwear ideally comes a breathable, semi-adjustable sweatshirt of sorts. This chafe-safe, moisture and odor eliminating material will become a new favorite to pop over.
Pant
This one's up to your preference. Some people feel freer in running tights, others'd rather have a bit of room between their skin and their pant's fabric.
Short
Now you know good and well we love a short short. Aside from its ascent into style discourse, it's well suited for a jog in warmer or sunnier weather, or for the bolters among you.
Running Shoe
What is running without a running shoe? You may not've expected them to, but yes, Lululemon have a line of footwear to send you pacing up and down the treadmill, the streets ...
Trail Running Shoe
... and the trails.
Running Vest
To be sure you've got everything on you – phone, keys, and a bottle of water to stay hydrated – you're gonna need a practical, but not silly-looking vest to keep it together. Literally.
