Choosing Running Accessories

Our wide range can be overwhelming if you don't know what you're looking for. Following are some brief guidelines for various running situations you might find yourself in, but nothing can replace the personal service we offer in our shops.

Choosing Running Socks

Running socks tend to be more durable than average socks. Made from breathable, wicking fabrics, they are also designed to draw away moisture from the feet, keeping them cool and dry in order to improve comfort and minimise risk of blistering.

Choosing Running Backpacks

Running backpacks come in different volumes and fits, including women's specific. They are designed to be light and sit nicely on your back without digging in anywhere, stabilised on your body by chest and waist straps.

Choosing Running Watches and Monitors

All running watches a have stopwatch to time your run; the more advanced have the option of recording splits, countdown, interval and recovery timer, even hydration alarms. If you want to lose weight or work on your fitness, you might consider a heart rate monitor.

Choosing Running Visibility

Running during the winter season, or late at night, your safety is a priority. Whether you are road running or out on the trails, we recommend you are visible.

Choosing Running Waist Bags

If you are doing a long training run or race, or if you need to take your phone, keys and iPod with you and want an alternative to an arm wallet, then a waist bag can be useful. They come in various sizes, the smallest is the width of an inch – made of stretchy material that expands to accommodate more contents as needed.

Choosing Running Bottle Belts

Proper hydration while running is important for performance as well as recovery. Carrying a bottle during your run can be distracting and impede technique and enjoyment. As an alternative, we offer a variety of bottle belts designed specifically for running, to meet your hydration needs.

Choosing Running Hats & Gloves

Keeping the hands and head warm whilst running in colder weather, can improve comfort and performance. Running specific hats and gloves have a variety of features: the fabrics are wicking and breathable, drawing out moisture and keeping the skin comfortable and dry.

Choosing Running Caps

Whether it’s to shade your eyes from the sun, keep the rain off your face or protect your scalp from the elements, a running cap is a lightweight solution. They all have elements of reflect for added safety, and most have breathable mesh at the sides.

Choosing Running Books

Great gifts and great motivational tools; read them and reap the benefits! Our selection of running books ranges from beginners' running guides, through marathon training manuals to inspiring accounts of runners' personal journeys on some of the toughest races in the world.

Choosing Small Running Carriers

The benefits of having a smaller carrier are that you can run any distance and carry essential items – keys, phone, iPod, money, energy gels – without the bulk of a rucksack.
