The OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon takes place in the greatest month of the year: May! With that comes some chilly training months. Here are five items needed for your fall training:
Technical shirt
A short or long sleeve technical shirt is perfect for your training in cooler temperatures. Dry-wicking, breathable fabric regulates your body temperature and also makes it easy to layer if needed.
Suggested item: 2020 In Training Long Sleeve PosiCharge Competitor Tee– $35
Also available in long sleeve and women’s style
Light jacket
Light layers come in handy in the colder months. One that’s easy to remove and light enough to keep around your waist as you warm up during your run or walk is crucial.
Suggested item: Mini Water Resistant Runner Jacket– $55
Hat
Wearing a hat while running not only protects your ears from wind chill but also keeps you warm while you log your miles in colder temps.
Suggested item: Indy Mini Beanie– $12
Water Bottle
Hydration is essential throughout your entire training, but it’s sometimes harder to remember to drink water when it’s cold out. A cute water bottle makes it easier to hydrate throughout the day!
Suggested item: 500 Festival Swell Bottle– $10
Blanket
Okay, so technically this isn’t exactly needed but come one, what’s better than snuggling up with a comfy blanket after a cold training walk or run?!
Suggested item: 500 Festival Polar Fleece Blanket, $19.95
