35 Gift Ideas For Runners, According To Runners

These Nike socks have just enough cushion to keep your feet comfortable, but let them breathe so they stay dry. They are made to last and will take you miles down the road. “I’ve yet to find another pair of socks like these that wash and wear well,” says Mike and avid runner who runs six days a week.

This slip-on non-padded Nike sports bra is comfortable and doesn’t have any hooks or latches to worry about. As an avid runner, I bought this when I first got into the sport years ago and it’s been my favorite sports bra, by far.

If you are looking for a little more support to keep the girls in place on your daily runs, this Champion bra is perfect. It has molded (yet wireless) cups for support and an adjustable back. (It’s great for when you are grabbing a cup of coffee after a run and want to avoid the uni-boob look.)

Hats come in handy on sunny or rainy days. Having one that’s lightweight, like this TrailHeads one, will keep you cool and dry is a must. (It’s also great for those days you don’t want to wash your hair and a messy bun just won’t cut it.)

Having a mask to protect your face is a must if you are running in a cold climate. Serious runners don’t let dropping temperatures get in the way of their outside running time if that’s what they love to do. This Pidien Balaclava mask  is warm enough to protect lower face yet let light enough to breathe in.

If you are going to run for hours (no thank you), then your body needs an extra boost. These Nunn tablets taste great and give back all the electrolytes that are lost during a long, sweat session. Marathon Runner, Channa Jackson says, “I ask for these every Christmas. They keep my energy up while I train for my marathons.”

Running, especially marathon running, is hard on the body. The pounding can take a toll of ligaments and joints. Taking Rejuvenation consistently can help your muscles and support faster recovery.

If you run with a some extra weight on your back, running in a race sans weighted vest will make you go faster. Many marathon runners do this when they can’t get a long run in to build endurance. This RUNmax Pro vest comes with different compartments to carry water, and you can remove weights at any time to get the impact you want.

Running in the dark can not only be fun, it can also be necessary for those who work long days, or the weather is too hot to run in daylight. Having something that glows in the dark is a must to keep you safe. An Illumiseen belt is an LED reflective belt  that’s the perfect thing to throw on that won’t add too much weight, but will ensure everyone on the street will see you.

Running is always better with a friend— especially a four-legged, furry one. They need to be seen, too, during those late night runs, and this  Noxgear harness is great for all weather, and will make it so you can see your dog up to a quarter mile away.
