By Henry HowardEven as daylight is fading right now, runners, cyclists and outdoor adventurers still need to prioritize eye care. While runners and cyclists often think of sunglasses as a requirement for summer excursions, they are extremely important for fall and winter activities. When it comes to winter, athletes are especially prone to the sun’s harmful rays, especially as it reflects off the snow.

By Henry HowardAs runners and outdoor adventurers, protection is vitally important, especially as it comes to our eyes. I don’t settle for an overhyped cheap pair of sunglasses heavily promoted to fellow endurance athletes. And you shouldn’t fall for the hype, either. I have been a fan of Tifosi Optics sunglasses for years and have had the honor to test several variations. This summer, Tifosi and my RunSpirited brand are partnering on a contest.

By Henry HowardOver the years, I’ve had a few 2XU items in my running wardrobe. I liked the running shorts and the compression underwear for their performance, style and more. When 2XU (Two Times You) reached out for an opportunity to test some of their workout gear, I jumped at it. The items included compression shorts, socks, a tank top and a hat. For full disclosure, 2XU provided the samples for testing in exchange for this review.

By Henry HowardI’ve been a fan of Buff for years, often receiving their hats from other brands and using on my running adventures. Buff’s caps and other gear are comfortable, durable and fashionable. But what I appreciate most about the company is how Buff hats illustrate commitment to the environment. They are a certified B Corp company, a global group of companies committed to using the power of business as a force for good.

By Henry HowardEven though most of my runs are done before dawn, summer ushers in a greater opportunity to run during daylight, especially for my long weekend runs. Instead of grabbing my waist light, I’ll be reaching for the sunscreen on those days. It’s important for everyone to protect themselves against the sun’s harmful rays, especially during the peak midday hours. Without question those who participate in outdoor activities, especially runners should use sunscreen.

By Henry HowardI have the pleasure of coaching athletes from their 20s through 60-plus years young. For them, age is just a number. With custom training plans to meet their fitness, goals and other factors, these athletes are redefining their limits. Among the recent successes of my athletes:• A female masters athlete finished her first Boston Marathon, and once again had a qualifying time.

By Henry Howard After five years of putting together my annual most inspirational list of ultra runners, I’m instituting a change. Due to the increase of inspirational athletes, I’m doubling down. This year’s list is actually two — one for the most inspirational males and another for the most inspirational females. I did not want to leave out nonbinary runners. In fact, nonbinary runner Riley Brady was an easy choice for my tribute.
