Are you interested in running stuff?
I’m excited to share that I have updated the Gear & Gadgets page, under the Topics menu on Running For Life. Head on over to check out my recommendations for running shoes, apparel, tech gadgets, workout gear, and equipment.
I am not much of a shopper. Having experienced some debilitating episodes of social anxiety, which can make it seem impossible for me to leave the house, I prefer online shopping. But I do love a bargain, and I love running gear. It is an exciting day when new running shoes arrive or I discover a new brand of running apparel, particularly if they have things with pockets. I have an absurd weakness when it comes to running gear with pockets.
The climate here in Perth, Western Australia, often means mixing things up throughout the year. Currently, amid a heatwave with days on end of 40+ degrees, it is essential to ensure clothing is lightweight, sweat-wicking and most importantly, anti-chafing! In winter, though milder than many other places, leggings, long sleeve running tees, headbands and raincoats are more prominent in the cupboard. I haven’t gone into much detail about the clothing department on this page. It is about 43C outside, so talking about long sleeves and leggings makes me uncomfortable. That might be a post for July or August maybe.
Do you have a question about any of the gear I mention? Ask away or tell me your favourite running items; I’d love to hear from you!
