Run EQUIPPED

How are your runs?

Seriously let us know! Comment below! We want to hear from you!

This blog is about community and support! We would love to hear your thoughts, dreams or anything else you want to talk about!

OK, so back to business!

First, I would like to remind everyone that this Saturday is the Provo Halloween Half Marathon! It is going to be so much fun! I would encourage you all to register, come out, and run with us! 

Get going! The expo is Friday!

Are you registering yet?

Oh, did you need another link? Here

OK, cool. Now we should be good.

Onto our segment of the "not so rules" of running!

So far we have:

1. Run Warm (aka warm-up)

Now we will introduce:

2. Run Equipped

Well, actually, yes!

What we mean by this is make sure you have the appropriate gear for running!

What is good running gear you ask?

1. Shoes! (Very Important) The best way to handle this is to head down to a running store and try a bunch on! If you find a make and model you like, BUY IT! It is very hard to find perfect running shoes! Now, in the future, you can buy online and know what you're getting!

Green soles are preferred. ;)

2. Socks. Wear something synthetic. Cotton socks are OK, but once you run in socks with synthetics, it will be hard to go back. My personal favorites are blends. Costco has some awesome (and cheap) ones!

3. Shirt. Again cotton will do, but it is not your best friend. Especially for long distances, you will want something synthetic! (Register for a race. They almost always throw in a shirt like this.)

4. Leggings. I personally prefer the kind with a built in liner so no undergarments are required. But, again, this is up to the runner and personal preference.

5.Misc.
Good headphones that stay put (I desperately want to try BOSE IE2's, but as of now, I'm making due with some cheap ones)
MP3 player (light is better)
Water bottle (if you want it)

This gear will do two things for you:
a) It will keep you comfortable in your runs
          Good running gear means less injuries, less chafing, and more comfort!

b) Give you a little more motivation to run
           We all like new toys, but what we like even more than new toys is showing them off to other people!

So, go buy a new piece of running gear for yourself.

After all, you deserve it! You're getting healthier here!

It will keep you comfortable and give you another reason to lace up!

Or better yet, do you know what's a great way to get new running gear? Register for one of our events and get cool swag! And you can shop around at the expo!

Let's get ourselves outfitted! Let's have fun with Running!
