Choosing the Right Equipment for Running

Posted on 04 May 2010 by coach

It is easy to think that just a pair of trainers is enough to get going when you are running. This is a great start but you do need to make sure that they are comfortable and if you start to run more seriously you may like to consider buying specialist running shoes which will give you the specific support that you need.

Socks can be important as well, because some socks soak up the sweat and then rub your feet and cause blisters whereas other types are designed not to do this.

The clothing you wear needs to be comfortable. You do not want something that is too baggy and flapping about and therefore distracting you. You need to feel comfortable and happy in what you are wearing. It might be wise to have reflective stripes on clothes if you are running after dark.

You will also need a waterproof jacket if it is raining and you may want to consider some running trousers and top because they are designed to help stop the sweat chaffing.

Lastly women will need a good sports bra as not using one can be painful and can cause stretch marks if you are not careful.
