Nowadays running gear plays an important role in the daily running routine of a lot of runners.

Clothes

When I started running I didn’t care much about clothes. I was just wearing a regular t-shirt and some sweatpants. As I got more into running and my training volume increase I complete changed my mind and am using sportswear on every run now. Read about my preferred running clothes in these articles:

Gadgets

The heart rate monitor was kind of a revolution for amateur runners. They were suddenly able to measure their heart rate on a training run and workout at an intensity to improve towards their personal goals. Today there is a wide range of technology gadgets available for runners and devices like smartphones and smart watches can be used to track and log your training sessions.
