Running in the dark has its charm, but it also brings pitfalls. So we cannot rely on their eyes and in addition to becoming “invisible” to others. Parks depopulated and earlier nightfall brings not only discomfort to the real threat of attack. The days are slowly running out and the nights come early. Those of us who have gotten used to run through summer evening, they are faced with a decision: to run in the dark, or you get up early and jog … actually too dark? If you’re a freelancer, with the coming winter we do not choose too. In the darkness, waiting for us but a lot of pitfalls and not necessarily just be a subversive who, under cover of darkness overflows runners on an unlit path. We can be ourselves when inappropriate responses inappropriately selected route or poor evening run. From the advice of experienced runners, we put together the Ten Commandments night runners.
The main motto of night runners should be “always lit” or would at least have to try to reflect ambient light. Well served reflective tape with LEDs that light not only reflects, but she glows or flashes.
Appropriate dress is with reflectors or at least in bright neon colors that make them to notify it at dusk. If you run a headlamp, be considerate of: eye contact and nod in greeting, to which we are accustomed in daylight, it can be uncomfortable dazzle to tens of seconds. Look straight ahead rather get out and head slightly in the opposite direction.
What are the headlamps and want to know the best?
If you run along the road or cycle path, it can have its advantages – such route is often lit and clear. On the road we usually happen that we went at it in the opposite direction, on the cycle but it’s not dealing so much. But what we have always run in the opposite direction of the majority of operation, we can register in advance cyclists or vehicles against us and in time to avoid them.
It’s a rule that we are constantly told third perhaps all running magazines and instructors in the courses of self-defense, but still cannot afford it we follow. Have your favorite music at home means that many runners fall out of rhythm. It was bad enough that we darkness robs eyesight. Jogging with headphones is a registered person, cyclist in reflective clothing or dog for you, often at the last minute. At best, you really frighten, at worst you can become an easy target for robbery. If you run without music, not manage; try at least with only one handset.
Explore the dark uncharted grounds need not be paid. First, you do not have to guess at how secluded spot to get both available in poor visibility hurt themselves. If you are still orbiting the same routes bored or likes to indulge in a bit of adrenaline, get at least a good headlamp or a safety vest, which will illuminate the unknown route.
