Cool Runnings

Anyone out there who has ever run outside knows that it's hard to stay at a comfortable temperature. You're either far too hot or too cold (when you start running). I'd never really put too much thought into what I'm wearing when exercising before, I just used to think that as long as I'm covered up and nothing is too clingy then I'd be ok. I could NEVER be one of those people you see running in leggings and a crop top (blurgh!).

One of the beauties of my job in PR is that you get to work with some brilliant brands who actually make product you can rely on and believe in. One such client is the Scandinavian brand Peak Performance. Peak is mainly known for it's Ski and outdoor wear but it also has a range of indoor and outdoor training gear which is obviously now the perfect time for me to test out. I have a 'Training Hood' in bright blue which I love and it has subtle details like thumb holes which are actually more beneficial than you'd think when running. The fabric has an antibacterial finish and dries quickly and keeps your body dry - it does exactly what it says on the tin! It regulates my temperature and makes running a lot more comfortable.

Off for a run in the morning before going for a cycle which I'm looking forward to (I'm picking up a folding bike tonight to try out).......I've changed.......
