One of the active Teams chats in the office is called the ODLO run crew – a group of staff who chat about running, meet for runs once a week and swap pictures of runs around Switzerland.
As we kick off one of our latest marketing campaigns, “Every day is run day” – which celebrates our new ISPO award-winning Dual Dry waterproof insulated running jacket, the empowerment running brings, and the arrival of arguably the best running season – we ask several people around the office what they love most about running.
From feeling fast to seeing stunning scenery, making running part of the daily routine brings equal measures of discipline, discomfort, and joy. Emotions most runners would characterise as “runner’s high,” or something very close to it. A feeling that they chase after any chance they get.
Here, their comments offer a little motivation and incentive to make more days run days.

For the purposes of writing recommendations like this one, we test tees while running (naturally) or in the gym doing stretching and strength work. So far this season, I have about 400km in the legs and two target trail events fast approaching: the Jura Swiss Trail and UTMB Verbier. So what’s the verdict?
