Running can be a very competitive sport, but it goes beyond the race. The women who devote their life to marathons are physically fit and proud of what they have achieved. Therefore, it should not surprise anyone that they take pride in how they look when they cross that finish line. For this reason, some runners have decided that they will put a little effort into beauty preparations for race day.

Appearances Matter Some

Running is a hot, sweaty event. However, this does not mean that it isn’t important to maintain your image. Running outfits have become trendier, women are not afraid to show off their physically fit body. Wearing makeup to run, isn’t a great idea if you are tackling a run in the middle of summer or a 10k. This doesn’t mean that you can’t still look your best. There are a lot of things you can do to ensure that your natural beauty shines through just as brightly as your dedication to running.

Show Your Inner Beauty and Strength

It takes dedication to run a marathon. Simply running in one proves that you are a strong person. If it is a charity race, then you also prove that you have a good heart. You can further show off your style by choosing running shoes and compression socks that complement your running suit. Your hair should also be pulled back in either a simple ponytail or a messy bun so that you always look calm, cool, and collected while running. Since cameras are generally everywhere, you will want to take a little time to smile at the camera when you see it. Some runners, who want to look their very best, may also wear semi-permanent makeup when they run. More and more women use microblading technique to ensure that their face is truly photogenic even if they aren’t wearing makeup as they cross the finish line.  It is a very simple thing to have done, looks great, and will not wipe off when you use your sweating hard.

Are You Ready for the Next 10K?

It seems that there are always big marathons going on. Some of them are extremely popular events that people come from all over to attend or participate in. Will you be ready to ensure that you stand out in the crowd? Will you be the one leading the pack and setting a new type of trend that other women will want to follow? Your efforts to be physically ready are already apparent. Now, you simply need to focus on showing young girls that they can be beautiful, active runners. Who knows, you may become their inspiration simply by making it look so easy to have it all. Wouldn’t that be special and make your efforts even more worth it?
