Fall Running Gear Essentials
Autumn is by far my favorite season for running, be it on a trail or the road. No matter where you choose to run, there are a few items to make the seasonal transition easier. Cooler weather and shorter days are two elements to deal with, and these five things will help keep you running outside for the season.
Fittingly Green: Brooks Making Eco-Friendly Sneaks
If you choose to run outside on a trail or sidewalk instead of using an electricity-driven treadmill, you're already doing your part to help the environment. You can do more though, with the help of Brooks. The brand has developed a new racing sneaker called the Green Silence.
Spring Running Essential: Arm Warmers
Spring weather is unpredictable, which means layering is important. When headed out for a long run, you can wear a tank but keep your arms covered with arm warmers. No longer just for the legs, or the dancers, arm warmers are a great accessory for runners and cyclists alike.
Gear Review: Outdoor Research Winter Running Gloves
Running outside is feeling pretty chilly these days, especially on my hands. I just picked up a pair of thin, lightweight running gloves that are perfect for keeping my fingers warm — the Women's PL 110 Gloves ($24) by Outdoor Research.
I love that these gloves have a thin fleece lining that's comfy and warm.
Gear Review: Under Armour Tank Prevents Chafing
Now that it so unbelievably gorgeous outside, I'm inspired to run for longer periods of time. The problem is my normal tank tops have seams that irritate the inside of my arms. If you have that problem too, check out the Under Armour HeatGear Movement Tank ($45).
Gear Review: North Face Apex Softshell
Since we're getting a hint of warm weather, I'm tempted to rip off all my heavy layers and run outside in shorts and a tank top. Unfortunately we're not quite there yet, so you'll need some thinner layers to keep you warm. That's why I love my North Face Apex Pneumatic Softshell ($99).
Get Your Butt in Gear: ToughGirl Skirt by SkirtSports
If you fell in love with running skirts this summer and are pining to run like a girl even though it is too cold to show off you gams, I think I have found a solution. The ToughGirl Skirt ($85) by SkirtSports!
The ToughGirl combines running tights with a cute short skirt for all-in-one, one-of-kind running bottoms.
Get Your Butt in Gear: Sahalie Running Tights
Somedays we all need a little support, and I am not talking about a shoulder to cry on. I am talking about supporting the joints and muscles of your legs that get taxed by your many activities. These Running Tights ($79.50) by Sahalie are engineered to support your weary bones so you can get out and run.
See Jane Run: A Supportive Store For ALL Women Athletes
"You want to run a marathon?!?" That's how Lori Shannon was greeted when she went to her neighborhood running store, along with raised eyebrows and zero support. So what if she was 5'3" and a size 16?
Get in Gear: Saucony's Cool New Shoe
Ever feel like your feet get too hot and sweaty in your sneaks?
Saucony's newest and coolest (no pun intended) sneaker the ProGrid Paramount ($165) is made with a special fabric called Comfortemp, which cools and warms to maintain your feet at a pleasant 82 degrees. What's more?
