Running is the perfect way to get active – it’s free and you can start right outside your door!
Tips for the run commute
Some tips for the run commute are included below:
- Use a running journey planner or a running app to map your journey to work and find out the time, distance, elevation and calories burned.
- You might not run both ways – Taking public transport to work and then running back means that no shower is required at work.
- You don’t have to run with a backpack, a bum bag for essentials like keys and a wallet is a great alternative.
- An airflow backpack will avoid getting too hot and a hip belt will help to keep the backpack in place.
- You don’t have to wear fitness gear, but this will be lighter and more practical. Look for clothes with wicking fabrics and outer layers with vents
