Sunglasses

[Burstcouch]

Hoping at some point for sunny days. How do you keep your sunglasses on when running?

I have run in my glasses a couple of times when I was too lazy to put lenses in and to be honest wouldn't even know they were on. Sunglasses do tend to be a bit heavier though, so you might need to get some more athletic-oriented ones.

Heh - the things we could all offer ourselves as rewards for reaching goals...

you can get some with elastic or something, it goes around your head to keep them on. I don't think my pace really warrants spending money on stuff like that just yet, maybe in a few months?

I have seen people run in normal sunglasses though. I could do with glasses on a windy day to stop my eyes streaming with the wind blowing in them

I wear my normal sunglasses. I haven't even noticed they're there, but I'm not a particularly fast runner.

I wear my normal sunnies too & usually forget I've got them on. I never have a problem keeping them on, so unless you're v fast or a Paula Radcliffe style head-nodder, I'd give it a go.

I wear glasses all the time but find it very difficult to run with them on, probably because we have had so much rain and once the rain gets on them you then need wiper blades!!! They have a bad habit of steaming up then too cos I do get rather hot. Stopped wearing them many weeks ago and don't miss them now.

Decathlon (sports superstore) sell inexpensive lightweight sunglasses which stay on well.
