Nothing screams summer running quite like sweating profusely at 7am. Yet I’m willing to brave the heat rather than suffer through the treadmill’s torturous monotony. (It doesn’t hurt that I know I’ll spend the remainder of my day in an air-conditioned office or under the whir of my bedroom fan.)
Last winter, I shared my cold-weather running staples that helped me log over 20 miles per week. As we shift from arctic temperatures to record-breaking heat, I’m highlighting the gear that has turned my summer half-marathon training into an activity I look forward to.
