🏃‍♂️ Holiday Running Essentials: Stay Cool, Protected, and Powered Up

Heading off on holiday doesn’t mean leaving your running routine behind. Whether you're chasing sunrise miles on the beach or exploring new trails, packing smart can make all the difference. Here’s your go-to guide for staying comfortable, protected, and hydrated while running on holiday.

🧴 Body Glide: Your Anti-Chafe Hero

Humidity, heat, and unfamiliar gear can lead to painful chafing. That’s where Body Glide steps in. This invisible balm forms a dry barrier that protects skin from friction—whether it’s thighs, underarms, or sports bra straps. It’s sweat- and water-resistant, so it won’t melt away mid-run, and it’s made with allergen-free, plant-derived ingredients.

🕶️ Goodr Sunglasses: No Bounce, No Slip, All Style

Running in the sun? Goodr sunglasses are a must. Designed for athletes, they feature a snug, non-slip fit that stays put—even when you're sweaty. Their UV400 polarized lenses block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, reducing glare and protecting your eyes. Plus, they come in bold styles that scream holiday vibes.

☀️ Sunscreen: Apply Smart, Run Safe

Before you lace up, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen at least 15–30 minutes before your run. Focus on exposed areas—face, neck, arms, and legs—and don’t forget your ears and lips. Choose a sweat-resistant formula and reapply every two hours if you're out long.

💧 Moisturise After the Miles

Post-run, your skin deserves TLC. After showering, use a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturiser to replenish hydration and soothe any sun exposure. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera to lock in moisture without clogging pores.

🚰 Hydration: Before, During & After

Hydration isn’t just about water—it’s about timing and electrolytes. Drink 500ml of water 1–2 hours before your run, sip regularly during, and rehydrate with 500–750ml post-run. In hot climates, your sweat rate increases, and that’s where Styrkr SLT07 hydration tablets shine. With 1000mg sodium, plus potassium, magnesium, and calcium, they mimic your sweat profile to prevent cramping and keep you performing at your best. Bonus: they’re vegan, non-GMO, and designed for endurance athletes.
