While running is an excellent way to keep oneself looking good and feeling great, it’s definitely one of the more challenging activities worth undertaking. So, if you have to be running, the least you can do is look good while you’re doing it. Herewith, a wish list of five stylish items for the runner in your life. Or for yourself, if you’re so inclined. I won’t judge.
1. Garmin Forerunner 10

At US$129.99, the Garmin Forerunner 10 running watch is one of the more affordable models out there, and offers nearly all the perks of the pricier ones. The Forerunner 10 tracks your distance, pace, and calories burned, and features a Virtual Pacer, which pits your current running speed against your target pace. It also allows free uploads to Garmin Connect, so you can see your runs on a map, track your progress, and share your results. The only thing it doesn’t do is actually run for you. Get on that, Garmin.
2. PRO Compression Marathon Chevron Socks

For those of you with a competitive streak, these knee-high PRO Compression Marathon Chevron socks are great for improving circulation and performance, all while looking adorable. The socks feature non-slip construction, moisture-control fabric and graduated compression for improved vascular support, which is just a fancy way of saying, “You’re about to win this race.”
3. JVC Marshmallow Ear Buds

Available in eight cute colours, JVC’s new Marshmallow Ear Buds are just the thing if you, like me, have trouble keeping all-plastic headphones in your ears. Look, some of us just have sweaty ears, OKAY? The Marshmallow also features a one-button remote control and mic, and is compatible with tons of different smart phones and tablets. Hip hop hooray!
4. Adidas by Stella McCartney 3/4 Tights

These full length Adidas by Stella McCartney Run Performance Tights are suitable for nearly all types of weather, and have a wide elasticized waistline, along with two front zipper pockets perfect for holding keys, your drivers’ license, and all manner of energy snacks. Get out there and run, you stylish thing, you.

The rest of you looks amazing, so why are you still carrying around that sad plastic water bottle? The bkr water bottle is made of glass - meaning no weird plastic-related chemicals - and comes with a removable, dishwasher-safe silicone sleeve. Several of the bottle designs feature huge hearts with pithy sayings printed alongside. My personal favourite: “I just hearted.”
