Running at night or early in the morning can be scary. And no, I’m not just saying that because I spend all my free time listening to true-crime podcasts.
Even though you’re doing your body good by working up a sweat, you could still be putting yourself at risk if you’re not wearing glowy, reflective clothing. When you’re running in low light, it can be really hard for cars to see you. Luckily, there’s no need to change your routine. One easy way to help drivers spot you is by upgrading your activewear collection with clothing that glows in the dark or reflects when light bounces off of it.
From leggings that light up like the night sky to sneakers that are flashy in the best way, these are the reflective finds to stock up on before your next run.
