Hello runners!
I'm hoping to use christmas to help boost DH's running gear. I already talked to his trainer and got some ideas, but I was hoping for some more. Erbur I hope you realize this means you. ![]()
Some ideas I got from his trainer.
GC for running shoes- I figured that, but he can also just get shoes when he needs them.
running socks - preferred brand?
running shorts and tights - preferred brand?
GPS stopwatch - he suggested Garmin. Does anyone use one of these? Do you feel like it's worth the cost?
Anything else? We are going to the outlets in Lancaster on Saturday, trainer suggested going to the Nike outlet, that they carry a lot of runners gear. I also think there are other outlets out there like Reebok, UA, etc.
Re: Gift Ideas for runners.
I love Under Armour for cold weather running, both the pants and long sleeved shirts, They are very thin, very easy to run in, and keep you warm. They are pricey, but so worth it.
I've been to the Nike outlet at Limerick, and it's great store. They have an awesome selection of clothing, sneakers, and accessories that's dirt cheap as compared to retail pricing. My husband and I always grab Nike Dri-FIT performance socks, as well as running shorts.
This is really random but I saw these at Old Navy. If he's running outside, this could be very helpful!

DH just picked up UA tights last week at D!cks for the cold weather, they didn't have them at outlets when he went though.
My cousin just recommended to me calf sleeves as well, if he needs those, I will find out the website he orders from, much cheaper than in stores.
I wear a Nike dri fit shirt that keeps me warm, I only wear that with a tee over it and tights at night now that it's been cold. I am sure there is a mens version too

The other things on my list are a pair of tech gloves so I can use with my ipod when running
Jonathan Dean 4.5.08
Anna Capri 5.4.11
He does...I was thinking of some options with that...regular earbuds don't stay in his ear when he runs. He has these bulky ones, but I'm sure there are other options.
THIS! YES! IMPORTANT! Best gift you could give him.
Ooh this is great and practical.
