YOGA

Much like in yoga class, it's all about finding a balance between strength and relaxation. You don't want activewear that rides up when you're in a Downward-Facing Dog, but you also want to avoid leggings that are so restrictive you can't get into a Tree pose. That's why your outfit needs to be yoga-specific, designed functionally to facilitate your yoga flow.

Working at a high-intensity means one thing for most people: sweat. Don’t be afraid of sweating; it’s a sign you’re working hard. But sweat can interfere with your performance if it isn’t managed properly by your activewear. lululemon’s Wunder Train High Rise leggings were designed to manage heat and sweat to keep you cool and comfortable as you train.

As with any aerobic activity, running becomes more comfortable when you have clothing that keeps you properly ventilated. lululemons’ Swiftly Racerback Tank Top has mesh fabric panels for breathability. It’s an easy fit that floats away from your body and sits below the waistband for moderate, everyday coverage that works just as well when you’re enjoying a well-earned recovery drink outside the nearest café.

Wicklow Way

WHERE TO GO:

Home to the largest of Dublin’s Parkrun events every Saturday morning, Marlay Park is a great place to head if you feel like running a 5k with a few like-minded joggers. Other days of the week it’s almost as crowded with amateur athletes, exploring a simple but charming suburban parkland with some lovely hidden corners, including a decorative fairy tree, waterfall and the end point of the famous Wicklow Way. See parkrun.ie/marlay for more information.
