5 Perfect Christmas Gifts To Buy A Runner

Believe it or not but Christmas is barrelling towards us once again like a jelly-legged beginner at the final stretch of a marathon. If you’re the giving type, then we’ve got the perfect top ten for you.

We’ve scoured the web to find the best gifts any runner would love to receive this Xmas. From gear to brand spanking new running tech, we’ve found it all.

1.     Garmin Forerunner 935 - £538

Garmin have muscled their way to the front of the pack and are now the most trusted provider of running GPS equipment. Their new watch, whilst a little pricey, can track every metric you could ever imagine, to a tee. For those who love to review their stats it is excellent value for money.

2.     33Shake Race Week Bundle - £30

It can be a nightmare remembering to order your running fuels, so why not help someone out by getting them a stash of the natural, clean and tasty 33shake nutrition. Their race week bundle has everything a runner needs to stay energised.

3.     INOV -8 Running Arm Sleeve - £18

When it’s cold outside it isn’t just more comfortable to be able to lose some layers, it is vital in regulating body temperature. Stripping layers usually means you have awkward clothing items to carry – not with arm warmers! These bad boys don’t get enough credit. Arms are always susceptible to the cold but as they warm up, being able to shed sleeves is incredibly handy.

4.     Zizzfit Ultiamte Massage Therapy Set - £23.99

Our bodies need some TLC after all that running and what better way to recover than with a soothing massage. This tidy package comes equipped with a foam roller, two massage balls and a resistance band to keep runner’s bodies in top condition after all those miles.

5.     Injinji Socks - £11.75

A runner’s most important tools are their feet, so they need to take good care of them. Injinji socks allow your toes to splay and reduce blisters between the toes so your feet stay pain free and comfortable, even through the longest running events.
