Merry Crimbo: Runner's Christmas must-haves!

Source Linked

It's that time of year again. After January was 316 days long....suddenly, we're in December 2019!
Not a moment too soon with the ups and downs of the year thus far. So what better way to end the year on a lovelier note than by nailing your Christmas shopping for that runner in your life?

Here are some gift suggestions in no order whatsoever.

Enjoy!

1. Aftershokz bluetooth bone-conduction headphones

After holding out for years (at least it felt like years), I decided to take the plunge and by some Trekz Titanium. It helps that the price had fallen to just under £70 thanks to the newer, lighter Trekz Aeropex Air being released.
Leading up to Christmas, Aftershokz has a #GiveGoodVibes campaign where you buy and Areoplex pair and they give you a free Titanium Trekz to give to someone else (while stocks last)!
Lastly, they don't obscure your ears so you can safely race in them in the UK!

2. The Art of Running Faster: Book

Not only is this my favourite running book, it is also an essential for learning your sport and growing your love for it!
Focusing on seeing running as a development of the true athlete: agile, flexible, strong and fierce; your runner really will get a kick out of this book.

I used this book as my main inspiration as I trained for my first marathon 3 years ago. I ran it in under 4 hours and enjoyed every minute of the experience.

Have a good browse. Available on Amazon and at other book retailers.

3. Run in Rabbit: Rabbit apparel

This small California-based company prides itself on not only creating high-quality running gear that is comfortable for racing and training in, they also have built a presence by giving back to the running community.

I first bought a pair of their shorts the day before my California International Marathon. And yes, I did race in them. Why? For $50, I was told they would not chafe.
And guess what, I did not chafe over 26.2 miles and a new PR!
Since then, I have tried their other shorts, tops, and winter jogging bottoms with glee. I even ran my first Boston Marathon in their Boston Rabbit gear. No, I am not sponsored by them (yet, lol I can dream!). I just love the fit, feel and performance of their clothing!
Buy their sale items to reduce your postage fees (for the UK readers).

4. Stryd Running Power Meter

A small piece of kit with a hefty price tag - £200 (or €200).
This is for the ultimate gadget lover who wants to know more than pace and altitude metrics. Cyclists have long used power meters to keep their energy reserves turning over at a steady effort for their desired time goals.
This shoe pod teaches racing with an even effort and avoiding over-extending oneself on uphills!

That's it! Short and sweet.
What would you like for Christmas as a non-runner?

Later, Ladies and Gents!

I am not a runner, but I am a believer that if you are good at something then you must really work hard to be the best at it. Runners are naturally great, but they also need equipments in order for them to maximize their potential. Hopefully, you got all items that became part of your wishlist. Though I am quite sure that some of these items are bit pricey, there will be people who have good heart who will indeed do their best to make you happy when you receive all these stuff!

I have tried each of these things and highly recommend them. I did not get them all at once but saved up, researched the best prices and then went into them. Running is simple: get shoes and run. All these gadgets are extra.

Herpes has been one of the most significant virus in the US now,and its spreading really fast,and the government are only producing medical drugs that can suppress it but rather keep on eliminating the African herbal doctors who were able to discover a way to completely cure the virus...I'm delighted to be finally cured of herpes 2 after i applied doctor razor herbal medicine for 18 days ,,, I can tell you, I went back a month later to confirm my status and i was still negative.. If i could get cured,why do you think You can't?,you believe in the lying government and medical scientists and keep spending money on buying their stupid pills..I'm glad I am finally cured from it forever...apply drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com herbal formula.
