Headlamps for Night Running
Channel: Seth James DeMoor
Date: 2018-08-09

Running gear is simple when compared to other sports. But running at night can be very tricky if you do not have the correct headlamp. Headlamps are so important for running at night, I explain down below.  However, all running gear is still essential for maximum performance and enjoyment out on the trails. Here is all the running gear I mentioned in today’s vlog, in case you are looking to by:

This was a fun run out at Deer Creek near Ken Caryl in Colorado. Shoutout to Jefferson County open space for putting in the hard work to open up a new trail called Black Bear. The Black Bear trail connects the Deer Creek trail system to the Hildebrand trail system. This connection is key for opening up a ton of new mileage for trail running. The Deer Creek trail system is basically about 13 miles of trails. But now with the Black Bear trail, it easily turns into 20 miles, and then more if you add on into Hildebrand trail system off to the east. I am very impressed with this new trail system near Ken Caryl and Littleton in Colorado. It’s really fun to run on new trails because sometimes the running can become a little monotonous if you are running on the exact same trail system too often. 

Thankfully I had the right running gear and ultra running gear to maximize my performance and enjoyment out on the trails today. I cannot tell you how much I love running with the Leki poles. The Leki Micro running poles are so lightweight and very durable. Today I caught the pole between two rocks, and the Leki pole did not bend at all. 

For the headlamp situation, I'm all in on the Petzl Nao and the UltrAspire Lumen 600 for lighting up my long runs in preparation for Run Rabbit Run 100 race. The Petzl Nao is a great headlamp for long sustained efforts in the mountains and on the trails. I love the fact that you can recharge the Petzl Nao so easily with a USB connection. That USB recharging feature is probably my favorite component for the Petzl Nao. In addition to using the Petzl Nao for night running out on the trails, I also love the Ultraspire waste belt, specifically the Lumen 600 model. I use the Petzl Nao to shine light 10 feet in front of me out on the running trails, and I use the Ultraspire Lumen 600 to shine the light on my feet, directly in front of me. The rocks and roots can be very tricky in trail running, and so the UltrAspire and the Petzl Nao combination are what I have found to be the best combo for trail running at night. The Ultraspire Lumen 600 wast belt headlamp also recharges through a USB connection. The Lumen 600 has pockets as well for storing your car keys or your gels during a run, a nice bonus for those long ultra runs high up in the mountains. I would strongly recommend both headlamps if you are looking to up your lighting game for those night time running efforts out on the trails. We look forward to your questions down below about nighttime running. I know it can be tricky sometimes to find your footing in the dark, be not afraid, we are here to help you light the way.
