Where to start running? A visit to a sports shoe store
Where to start running? If we are already well motivated and determined that we want to start running, we need to complete the right wardrobe, thanks to which we will be able to start our adventure with sport. And what is most important for a runner? Of course – shoes! They are a key part of a runner’s wardrobe, because they help protect joints and bones during activity, and properly selected running shoes will minimize the risk of injury. There are many offers available on the market. Among hundreds or thousands of models of footwear, it is sometimes difficult to choose one that will meet our needs. How to find the best running shoes for our feet? What to pay special attention to? The best choice are shoes that give a sense of comfort and fit to the foot from the first time you put them on. As it used to be said – we feel that we “sat down” right away. Comfort is essential, because we will spend a lot of time in these shoes. Therefore, feet should not get tired quickly in them, because it can discourage us from being active and reduce our motivation. When choosing running shoes, it is worth paying attention to cushioning. The cost of purchasing shoes with cushioning will of course be higher compared to ordinary sports shoes, but it is difficult to evaluate the comfort provided by properly selected shoes.
Running shoes are essential. What about other wardrobe items?
Now that we have properly selected running shoes, it’s time to complete the rest of the wardrobe. If we want to start training for running, we must reckon with the fact that it will be necessary to practice this sport in various weather conditions. As a result – also the elements of our outfit must be as diverse as the weather in our country. Just like when choosing running shoes, you should pay special attention to comfort and convenience. Elements of a runner’s wardrobe should be made of airy materials through which our skin will breathe, and at the same time proper thermoregulation will be maintained. It is worth buying T-shirts made of specialized materials that, on the one hand, help to wick sweat away to the outside, and on the other hand, prevent the body from cooling down. They are readily available at sportswear stores. What else should a real runner have in his wardrobe?
- running pants/leggings – you should also pay attention to the composition of the material from which they are made
- sweatshirt for colder days
- membrane jacket
- headgear depending on the weather, i.e. a cap or a cap with a visor, an ear band.
