In the December issue of Women’s Running we’ve been trying to figure out what makes runners tick by investigating the link between our running and our genetics. And because it’s December (almost), we’re also taking a very serious look at rest and recovery.

A great pair of running headphones is a highly underrated bit of kit. From ensuring your basic safety to giving you the most comfortable and entertaining experience, there are plenty of features to keep an eye out for if you’re after some new ones. As a road runner, I’m a big fan of open-ear headphone options so that I can be aware of my surroundings and hear things like traffic while still being able to listen to music. These headphones don’t go inside or over your ears like most traditional ones.
