I Ran a Half Marathon Wearing This Asics Face Mask and Barely Noticed

One of the biggest challenges for exercising in 2020 is figuring out how exactly you're going to cover your face. From runners to weightlifters, all types of athletes have struggled to find the perfect fit to mask up to prevent the spread of coronavirus. If you're going to sweat around anyone else, you need to have a reliable face mask.

Thankfully, I found the ideal face mask for my active lifestyle. I've been using the Asics Runners Face Cover mask for a few months now, and it's good for more than just hardcore pavement pounders. I've worn the mask for just about every run and outdoor workout I've taken on since July, from long runs to Muay Thai drills to pickup basketball—I even ran a full half marathon on a warm day without once popping off the mask to get more air.
