Yup... there's no getting around it...our regularly scheduled weeknight runs will be shroud in a cloud of darkness. However, there are
benefits to running when the sun is down, so we might as well
take some precautions and keep putting one foot in front of the other. This means
high visibility clothing (or at least not dressing like a ninja) and maybe headlamps for poorly lit areas. While the majority of us are familiar with high visibility clothing (neon... reflective materials... ok), but
choosing the right head lamp is another story (I highly recommend reading that article if you are in the market for a head lamp). Some things to pay attention to are brightness (measured in
lumens versus the more familiar
watts), beam distance (how far in front of you the beam projects), and run time / battery life (measured at lowest setting). Here's what
Consumer Reports recommends... or just stop by RRO!
