The Best Running Accessories for Beginners

by sportsequip

If you’re new to running, it can be difficult to know what the right accessories are. You want something that’s comfortable and won’t add any extra weight or bulk to your running outfit, but at the same time, you don’t want something that will slow down your performance or increase the risk of injury. In this post, I’ll share with you my top picks for beginner running accessories that won’t break the bank.

The right running shoes

Running shoes are a must-have for any runner. The right pair of running shoes can make a huge difference in your performance, comfort, and overall enjoyment of the sport.

Here are some things to look for when buying running shoes:

  • Make sure that the shoe fits your foot well. If you have wide feet or high arches, try on several pairs before choosing one that fits snugly without pinching or causing blisters on your toes. You should also be able to wiggle your toes inside the shoe without stretching them too much; if there is any discomfort in doing this then it may not be right for you!
  • Look at their structure: some have more cushioning than others while others have more flexibility so they don’t feel stiff when walking around all day long (or even after just one run). The best way I’ve found here is by comparing different types of cushioning materials such as foam rubber versus EVA foam which provides more support but less flexibility/cushioning overall.”

Good running socks

Running socks are an essential piece of running gear. They protect your feet from blisters and calluses, prevent chafing, and keep moisture away from your skin.

You want to wear good running socks for two reasons: 1) They’ll help you avoid some common injuries that can happen if you run in uncomfortable shoes or without proper protection; and 2) You want to make sure that you’re wearing the best possible pair of sneakers for your gait type (more on this later).

Here’s what you should look for when buying running socks:

Wicking material – Wicking materials help keep moisture from building up between your toes when it gets really hot outside or inside during cool weather months. Some wicking materials also work as cooling mechanisms by absorbing sweat before it has a chance to evaporate off the surface of your skin into small pores where bacteria could grow over time if left untreated–which would cause painful blisters or infections! This can happen especially if there’s not enough airflow underneath these layers because they’re too thick against other parts’ surfaces which don’t allow those same tiny spaces all around us where we need oxygen most often.”

Wool socks – Wool can provide warmth even when wet, but they’re also pretty expensive. They’re best used during the winter months since their insulation properties are excellent at keeping you warm when it’s cold outside or inside due to lack of circulation.

Avoid cotton socks – Cotton fibers hold onto moisture, making them uncomfortable when it’s hot outside or inside. They can also cause blisters if left untreated.

A good sports bra

A good sports bra is essential to running. It can help you feel more confident, reduce chafing and discomfort, and prevent any accidents from happening in the first place. If you’re a beginner, it’s important to wear the right style of sports bra so that your body is supported correctly.

The first thing to look for when purchasing a new sports bra is whether or not it will fit properly. You might be thinking “I don’t care if my boobs look like they’re about ready to pop out of my shirt; I’m just going on an easy run around the block!” But no matter how casual or informal your activity may be, if there are any problems with proper support then they will negatively affect both how well everything fits together (and thus how well everything works) as well as how comfortable each piece feels on its own—especially during runs where perspiration has likely built up between layers of clothing over time (which could cause chafing).

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is an important part of your running gear. It will protect you from the sun’s harmful rays, and it can also reduce the risk of skin cancer.

  • Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside and reapply after swimming or sweating heavily.
  • SPF is a measure of how well a sunscreen protects against UVB rays, which cause burns and wrinkling on your skin if they’re exposed too long to the sun’s UVA rays (which cause wrinkles). The higher the SPF rating, the more effective it will be at protecting your skin from both types of damage caused by UV exposure. You should choose an SPF between 15–30; if you want something more protective than that, look for one with an even higher number printed on it—like 50+!
  • Apply enough sunscreen so that when you’re done exercising in bright sunlight (about 10 minutes), there isn’t any visible white residue left behind on your face or neck area—this means covering all areas where sweat tends to build up during exercise sessions outdoors!

GPS watch (Garmin 225, Apple Watch)

If you’re looking for the best running accessories, a GPS watch is a must-have. GPS watches are small and easy to use, so they can be used while running without distracting you from your workout. They also track distance, pace and calories burned—all of which can help you improve as a runner.

The Garmin 225 is one of the most popular options on Amazon with over 1,500 reviews and 4 stars out of 5. It’s built with an accelerometer that records the distance traveled during each run or walk; it has triathlon mode which automatically records laps during swimming events like duathlons or triathlons; it has wide compatibility with smartphones so users can transfer their data easily between devices; allows users to manually input workouts into their app (if needed); includes apps such as Strava Connect which lets users share routes and tracks online; has a waterproof casing which makes this model ideal for outdoor activities like hiking trails or cross-country skiing trips

The Apple Watch has many of the same features as other GPS watches, but its design makes it easy to use while running. Its touchscreen display is easy to navigate with a finger swipe so you can quickly change settings when needed.

Running is easier if you have the right accessories.

Running is a great way to get fit and have fun, but it can be hard if you don’t have the right accessories.

Running accessories can make running easier, more fun and even help prevent injuries. They’ll also help you run faster and farther.

Conclusion

Running is a great way to get in shape and stay healthy. It’s also one of the best activities to do on your own time, which can also be hard for beginners. With these accessories, you can make running more fun and keep track of your progress!
