All running gift ideas

Beginner runners and trail runners are often satisfied with the basics, such as warm clothing for winter races. However, he’ll also appreciate fun accessories like a smartphone armband, headlamp, recovery socks or even a GPS watch if your budget allows.

On the other hand, the experienced runner who trains regularly is very demanding when it comes to equipment. If you’re looking for a gift for an experienced runner, look for technical or really useful products. Think technical clothing first. Follow our guide to make the right choice!

Top 15 gifts for a runner

N°1. RUNNING OR TRAIL SHOES

Did you know? A pair of running shoes should be replaced every two years for an occasional runner and every year for a regular runner. So, look discreetly in your friend’s wardrobe: if his or her shoes look like they’ve come a long way, don’t hesitate, offer him or her some new shoes!

N°2. A windproof jacket to brave the cold…

Brrr, the temperatures are dropping, dropping… Do you see them, those runners all bundled up and exhaling fog? The more sensible of them have a windproof running jacket!

N°3. … OR A WATERPROOF JACKET FOR RUNNING IN THE RAIN

Light rain or heavy downpour, none of them stop a runner as long as he has the right clothes.

N°4. PROTECTIVE PANTS TO FACE THE COOLNESS IN THE MOUNTAINS

The intimacy of the forests and the calmness of the mountains make him thrilled for his running and trail outings? Give him a pair of mountain pants.

N°5. WARM ACCESSORIES FOR RUNNING IN FALL-WINTER

To avoid cold spells, runny noses and even stiff necks (a sweaty neck exposed to the windy coolness is exposed to the risk of stiff necks, yes!), opt for warm accessories. Absolutely essential!

N°6. OFFER A STYLISH RUNNING SHIRT

Even better for athletes who like to show off their figure, the running shirt is designed to accentuate comfort by following their every move.

N°7. SPORTS UNDERWEAR

We don’t often think about it, but wearing sports underwear can be essential depending on the type and intensity of the effort. From tight boxer shorts to supportive bras, there’s something for everyone.

N°8. A TRAIL VEST FOR EASY HYDRATION

It looks like a vest, yet it’s a backpack! The trail vest allows you not only to carry your essentials (keys, smartphone, etc.) but also, and above all, to hydrate easily, thanks to its integrated pockets specially designed for hydration systems. With their breathable backs, trail bags are ultra-comfortable.

N°9. GOURMET NUTRITION BARS

You should know that most athletes worth their salt love nutritional bars and gels. Not only do these snacks satisfy cravings, but their high concentration of carbohydrates or proteins helps nourish the muscle and prepare it optimally before exercise, and helps it recover after exercise.

N°10. A GPS CARDIO WATCH FOR RUNNING

Garmin, Suunto, Polar… These brands have become very popular and for good reason: their sports watches have become almost indispensable for any runner. Name a single runner who does not have a GPS running watch?

N°11. A HEART RATE MONITOR BELT TO BE LIKE THE CHAMPIONS

Sold on its own or as a complement to a cardio watch, the heart rate monitor gathers physical data with precision and then transmits it to your watch or mobile app, enabling you to get to know yourself better and train more effectively.

N°12. A BLUETOOTH HEADSET TO RUN IN MUSIC

It’s a well-known fact that bass in the ears often reduces the tiring sensation of exertion! Running to the rhythm of guitars, “boom-boom” or the recorder, there is nothing like it to enjoy your sports session with a smile on your face! Motivated, motivated!

N°13. A HEADLAMP FOR NIGHT RUNS

Whether your friend gets up early in the morning to go for a run, gets motivated at 5 p.m. in the middle of winter or is planning a night-time trail run, he or she will need to see his or her way and be seen!

N°14. ORTHOTICS AND SLEEVES FOR MUSCLE PAIN

No, running isn’t just a mental affair. First and foremost, you need to be well prepared and take good care of your muscles and joints with orthoses and sleeves.

N°15. An electrostimulator to stimulate muscles and recover faster

Electrostimulators require a certain budget but are worth a thousand times more. Their price is quickly paid back thanks to their ultra-efficient features designed to prepare the muscles for exercise and help them recover, almost as well as a sports physiotherapist would do!
