Hydration pack<\/h3>\n
Having a bottle of water in your hands all the time is a hassle, and a full backpack will probably also be less-than-ideal. A hydration pack or belt keeps your weight more evenly distributed and simplifies your running and preparation routine. The Camelbak Classic<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is an adjustable water pack that can hold 2.5 litres of water transferred through a valve, and also has additional storage space for other items and has reflective accents for low-light environments.<\/span><\/p>\n Shop hydration backpacks here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Just throwing on an old band t-shirt also isn\u2019t the most recommendable running attire, unfortunately. For hot weather runs, using a synthetic wicking material that moves sweat away from the body is ideal, materials like Nike\u2019s DRI-Fit or Coolmax\u2019s moisture-wicking fabric. On the opposite side, if you\u2019re going to be hitting the road in the cold, then thermal running tights and vests will help regulate body heat and stave off the worst of the winter bite.<\/p>\n Shop thermal running attire here<\/a>, or check out the light-weight running vests on offer<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is an easy one to forget since it technically doesn\u2019t have anything to do with running. That being said, we\u2019re fortunate to get sun in most areas of South Africa for over two-thirds of the year, so if you\u2019re planning on taking running seriously, you\u2019re going to be seeing a lot of UV rays out there. Invest in a good sunscreen and apply it diligently to avoid any sun-related health issues from cropping up.<\/p>\n Check out the sun protection products for running here<\/a>.<\/p>\n These are all the rage, and for good reason. The best way to stay motivated about your running progress is by tracking it every time you get some miles in. That way you can monitor your routes, your times, how far you run, and tracking any personal objectives you\u2019ve set for yourself. There are several out there to choose from that offer different advantages or features, but Under Armour<\/a>\u2019s \u2018MapMyRun\u2019 is one of the more popular ones and gives a well-rounded experience. The app even syncs with some of Under Armour\u2019s shoes like the HOVR Sonic, so you can automatically track your stats!<\/p>\n Download:<\/strong> iOS<\/a> |\u00a0Android<\/a><\/p>\n Stock up on all your essential\u00a0running gear here.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n What items do you need to stay ahead of the pack?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"amp_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1552,2849],"tags":[365,2921,2922,413,2893,1512],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21366"}],"collection":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21366"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21366\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21394,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21366\/revisions\/21394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Camelbak-classic.jpg\")
