Though it’s true that running calls for a lot of gear – t-shirts, shorts, baselayers, gels, backpacks, water bottles etc – the fundamental essential is your running shoes.
No matter what kind of route you’re planning, whether it’s a recovery 5k run in London or a trail run in the Scottish Highlands, your footwear makes all the difference. For the former, you’ll want a road runner with extra cushioning and shock absorption, while the latter calls for those with extra traction and a weatherproof finish.
