PACK FOR YOUR MULTI DAY RUNNING ADVENTURE
Make your running an adventure and prepare for all the fun by planning ahead for the perfect route and conditions you need to be aware of. Good preparations enables you to have a great idea of what to pack. Strive Mountain Pack has a generous packing compartment and Silva Embrace System ensures a good fit despite the packing volume. The running pack will hug your body and has a tight fit so that you can run smoothly.
The trick when you plan to run far is to pack reasonably. You do not want to run with more weight than necessary. At the same time, that small bag of candy or a deodorant or a little book with crosswords, might be just what keeps you motivated to keep going when the running feels heavy.
If you run between mountain huts there might be fresh water for hand washing your underwear. Otherwise, wash what you need in a closeby lake or river. Choose your baselayer garments in materials such as merino wool or bamboo, it doesn’t smell and also it is quick to dry.
Pack baselayer, headband or a thin beanie and also gloves. Even though the days might be warm thanks to the sun, it often gets chilly during the evenings when the sun sets. And hey, don’t forget the headlamp. And make sure to fully charge it!
Another piece of advice is to pack a pair of thin and lightweight slippers or sandals. Your feet will be glad to walk around in something else than your running shoes after a day with many miles regardless the surface. Also, make sure to bring sunscreen, mosquito spray and other details that will make your adventure more pleasurable.
