A morning run along the Scheldt in Antwerp is a local sport. On Sundays the youth, the oldies, and beautiful ladies take out their running gear to sweat it out. After a busy week, it's only right to run it out, right ?
After my visit to DAVID LLOYD , I decided to slowly go back to my old ways: getting in shape and staying in shape. As a super skinny guy I have to maintain that plus eat well in order to gain weight. Because my BMI results were not nice to hear AT ALL.
There's one thing you should know about me. I'm one of those guys who goes to the gym for 3 months and just quits because I lack the motivation. Most of the time I quit shortly after my gym-buddies quit. And I noticed that so many people have that same problem. A lot of times it's easier to stay at home when you're off-duty. However a better idea would be to work on my condition.
Before getting back into the #GetFit mindset, my sports gear has to be on point. It's those small things that make a different. So I put together a Bjorn Borg sports fit for my morning run along the Scheldt and I also downloaded the Sprinter app designed by Bjorn Borg.
FYI: The Sprinter app is the new way to find workout buddies from all over the world. It's designed to empower people to get more active by training together. That way in case my workout buddies bail on me , I have a plan B.
How to pick the right running gear for a morning run ?
#1 : Comfort is key
Don't wear too much clothes because you'll sweat your ass off anyway. Rather go for a basic t-shirt and a hoodie ( in case it rains ) .
#2 : Wear the right shoes
#3 : Gotta have them tights
Running during end of fall or winter is cold, especially at the start. To keep you warm it wouldn't be a bad idea to get yourself a pair of tights. You can wear your running shorts over it. As long as your comfy.
