When it comes to running footwear, the number one requirement for runners is how well a shoe fits. GORE® Invisible Fit represents a new way to build a waterproof, breathable running shoe that results in unparalleled comfort. It offers the same fit and feel as a running shoe without a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane.

While they may feel comfy like regular gloves and socks, the Showers Pass Crosspoint Mountain Socks and Crosspoint Waterproof Knit Wool Gloves are fully windproof and waterproof, thanks to a proprietary 3-layer construction. Features include a wear resistant knit exterior, a seamless waterproof-breathable ArtexTM membrane, and a moisture wicking Merino Wool-blend lining. The socks effectively turn any shoe into a windproof and rainproof solution while the gloves help you retain comfort and dexterity in inclement weather.

While the average, healthy adult requires between 8 and 9 hours of sleep a night according to the CDC, athletes are known to sleep for between 9 and 11 hours, depending on their training schedule. Not sleeping enough will not only affect your performance to a great extent but can also end up being extremely harmful as it increases your risk of both illness and injury. While a night of poor sleep may not directly impact your heart, lungs and legs, your brain and its neural system will undoubtedly be lethargic, affecting your perceived efforts and debilitating your performance.

The Colorado climate makes The Centennial State a runner’s paradise, but also means that runners must face the demands of stronger-than-average sunlight due to high altitudes, according to Dr. Darrell S.

This textile is the latest trend in fitness apparel and it offers a host of advantages, including UV protection, moisture absorption and antibacterial properties.
