Lately, I have noticed more and more people starting to run, which is good! Running has many health benefits and is a great stress reliever. It strengthens your cardiovascular health and you get that runner’s high, or that boost of endorphins during exercise.
I have some experience in running and there are some things that you really need to have with you. Ideally, you don’t want anything heavy with you while running. So, I have gathered the essentials to keep your running era light and fun!
Running Shoes 👟
Shoes are the most important thing when it comes to running. I highly encourage you to invest in high-quality running shoes because this will save you from all that knee pain and all other injuries that may arise without the proper footwear.
Clothing 👕
Wear things that are light such as dri-fit clothing. I figured wearing a thin jacket helps me feel more comfortable when moving around. Whatever works for you. Also for my ladies, tie your hair in a secure ponytail or put it in a braid to avoid tangles — trust me on this.
Earphones 🎧
Music is a game changer. Personally, I feel like I’m in a music video when I put them on. However, not all earphones are made the same. Pick ones that are meant for running, or else they might just fly out in the middle of your run. I suggest using earphones with transparency mode, because this allows you to listen to your surroundings, especially when you’re in unfamiliar places. Safety is a must and these are some excellent earbuds perfect for running!

Smartwatch ⌚
Aside from the source of a good playlist, a smartwatch can help track your beats per minute, steps, calories burned, oxygen levels, and many more. Their purpose does not just end after your workout, because they can also take note of your sleeping pattern to ensure you get enough rest. Most importantly, they have a fall detection feature that will call for you to get help. Awesome!

Belt Bag 🎒
Belt bags are a must-have because you need to bring your valuables. Make sure your earphone case, phone, and small water bottle can fit inside. Always bring with you some cash in case need to buy more water!
Running can be intimidating and frustrating at first. Everything is probably going to hurt but don’t quit just yet. You will make many stops at first but it’s going to feel amazing when you start making less. Be patient and proud of yourself for trying! 🏃♀️
