8 Spring Running Essentials You Need Now
As the weather warms up and spring approaches, it’s time for runners to shake off the winter blues and prepare for the season ahead. To help you get ready for your best spring runs, here are eight essential items you’ll need. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, these items will ensure you’re fully equipped and ready to tackle your spring training.
- Under Armour Tech 2.0 T-Shirt ($18.24) – Made with UA Technology that makes the fabric quick-drying and ultra-soft. Material wicks sweat and dries super fast.
- Sporteer K1 Running Belt ($29.99) – If you’re tired of holding your phone or stashing your keys in your pockets while you run, the Sporteer K1 Running Belt has you covered. Made with comfortable and stretchy material, it fits snugly around your waist and keeps your essentials in place. I have a Galaxy 22 pro and it keeps it in place perfectly.
- Fitly Soft Flask ($13)- A water bottle that shrinks as you use it, why didn’t I think of that? Perfect for running or cycling.
- Brooks Run-In 3 Pair Socks ($18)- Made with quick-drying DriLayer to help keep the sweat away from your feet. It also includes a ribbed knit ankle tab to help provide a little extra protection on possible rub spots with your shoes.
- Balega Enduro Arch Support Running Sock ($16)- If you want to splurge on a pair of running socks, I would start right here. They are made with the company’s proprietary moisture management technology that somehow allows your feet to stay both dry and cool while on even your longest runs.
- New Balance Men’s Accelerate Shorts ($34.96) – Features NB Dry fast-drying technology to keep moisture away from your body. The Fabric helps keep it nice and lightweight.
- BMJL Women’s Running shorts ($24.99) – Elastic waistband and relaxed fit the rest of the way offer a much easier fit. A pocket on the side allows you to store your phone and keys.
- Runner 60 Wireless Sport Earbuds ($59.99) – These earbuds were actually made with the input of hundreds of runners. The earbuds are waterproof and have a 80-hour battery life. Perfect for people like me who forgot to plug in their buds after a long run.
