Don’t Let the Weather Slow Down Your Outdoor Activities

November 11, 2014 By Complete Runner

Waterproof Running Socks Flint Michigan

Put down your phone.  Turn off the Weather Channel and the local weather forecast.  The weather doesn’t matter anymore when planning your next outdoor fitness adventure!

The key to staying comfortable during your outdoor activities is staying dry.  Not only do you want to stay dry from your own perspiration with breathable, wicking tech wear, but you also want to stay dry from the outdoor elements of snow, slush, sleet, and rain with waterproof technology.

Socks, hats, and gloves by SealSkinz are both waterproof and breathable, the first to offer you the best of both worlds!

Now you can run or walk through the slush in your regular running shoes without worrying about getting wet feet, allowing your training to be uncompromised by the variable Michigan weather.  Better yet, your SealSkinz apparel will come equally handy when scraping the slow and ice off the windshield before work, or having an impromptu snowball fight with the kids.

Check out this video to see how SealSkins is defying the cold and the wet, and will keep you comfortable in whatever the weather decides to bring.

What to Wear to the Crim Festival of Races

August 22, 2012 By Complete Runner

New Balance Icefil

Don’t show up to the Crim in your grungy running clothes; you have trained hard for this big day and deserve some technical yet fashionable apparel to keep you cool and comfortable on race day.  Consider the following key pieces of running and walking apparel and their importance as you prepare for the Crim this Saturday:

Shirt

Your race shirt should be comfortable and made of wicking material to pull the sweat away from your skin to keep you cool.  Dri-FIT by Nike, Equilibrium Racerback by Brooks, and Icefil by New Balance are all examples of popular wicking technology.  If you have never done so, just touch the Icefil fabric and you will be surprised of how cool it is to the touch.

Shorts

Most people focus on the shirt, but your shorts are equally important since you lose a lot of heat through the crotch area.  Please leave your basketball shorts at home and consider some running shorts to help keep you cool and comfortable.

Socks

The right socks can make a huge difference on race day, so be sure to remember that cotton is rotten.  If you wear regular socks your feet will get very hot, wet, and uncomfortable very fast.  Wicking socks are a must have to keep your feet happy.

Besides shirts, shorts, and socks, make sure you wear a good pair of running shoes that are fit for your feet.

If you are lacking on any of the above apparel there is no need to worry because you can find everything you need for the Crim and all your upcoming races at Complete Runner.  Stop in the store this week and be sure to look for us at the Crim Fitness Expo on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for your last minute Crim race needs.
