Running Essentials to Put a Spring in Your Step

By
Although it’s probably cold and snowy in your part of the country, spring is right around the corner and will be here a lot sooner than you think. If the cold chases you indoors for your workouts, this is fantastic news. It won’t be long before you’re back out on the trail. That being said, are you geared up with the essentials to crush your PRs, push yourself further and conquer the trails, running paths and track meets this spring?

Here are some of the essentials to either upgrade your current running arsenal or new items to try that could make a huge difference this spring.

Dedicated Running Shoes

If 2020 is the year you break away from the treadmill and take outdoor running seriously, you’ll want the right footwear. Yes, that means having a dedicated pair of running shoes, rather than using your same gym shoes. While cross-training shoes are perfectly adept at running short distances or on indoor surfaces, once the rubber meets the road and you’re tallying off mile after mile, you’ll wish you had a bit more cushioning.

Companies like Reebok spend years of research and development to introduce innovative features that make even the longest, most grueling runs comfortable and achievable. From the original Sole Fury design from the ’90s to Reebok’s latest Floatride technology, there’s more to a quality running shoe than just sleek designs. Head to your local sports shop or read a guide to find the best pair for you. Lace them up, and you’ll see how much better your running shoes feel compared to your old stompers.

Supportive, Yet Functional, Performance Clothing

Look good, feel good, right? With the right performance gear, you’ll feel motivated and ready to crush your next run, and you’ll be more comfortable during the run too. There’s nothing worse than running around in a sopping wet cotton T-shirt. Don’t go swimming on your next run: Wear a tank or shirt made with sweat-wicking fabric. The best performance shirts feature reflectivity weaved in to keep you visible during early morning and late evening runs.

Along with staying cool, you need apparel that provides support during those long runs. That includes premium sports bras and athletic leggings with support where you need, but that remain breathable and flexible for added comfort.

Hats and Gloves for Those Chilly Mornings

Okay, so you’re not really up for a 20-degree run in the snow, but spring mornings can still be a little bit chilly. To prevent your hands from going numb 2 miles in, light, functional gloves can keep your mitts warm, and a lightweight performance hat or beanie can keep your noggin cozy. Don’t let those especially chilly 40-degree March mornings hold you back and crush it with the right gear.
