Runners... list your faves!

I'm putting together a college care package for one of the runners in my family. She's awesome, and made First Team All State in XC and track even as a freshman in HS. 

I want to include some little gifts that a runner would appreciate. I'm going to pick up a tube of Chapstick (actually, I was thinking the Blistex Five Star Lip Protection w/ SPF30), and will be getting some dried fruit and roasted nuts...

But, what do you love? Brands, flavors, etc.?

Re: Runners... list your faves!

  • Nuts and dried fruits sound good. Maybe a *few* pieces of chocolate? I am not picky when it comes to chapstick for running ... any brand, any flavor is OK as long as it's in a tube and has SPF. No Lip Smackers, though.

    Things I like:

    Luna bars - Choc Peppermint Stick, White Choc Macadamia, Cookies N Creme, and Lemon Zest are my favorites ... don't really like ones with nuts but I think that's just my preference.

    Clif Shot Bloks or Jelly Belly Sports Beans

    Pretzels - seems counterintuitive, but I've started eating a handful of pretzels on my really long runs and the salt helps to replace what I lose through sweat.

    no slip no snag elastic bands - I like the ones where the no slip elastic part wraps around the whole band. I have some that just have the no slip part on the inside of the band. They work fine, but the elastic part breaks and comes off.

  • I always run with gum.  It seems to help me breath better (or at least in my imagination it does).  And, those giant elastic headbands.  Elastics are never enough b/c of flyaways. I need the headbands to keep them out of my face.  And, an iTunes giftcard would be awesome.
