Running is one of those activities that’s meant to be low maintenance, but the more I do it, the more gear I seem to need. At first, it was just a pair of trail running shoes to help me negotiate rough terrain near home. Then I needed a running jacket and a hydration pack once I started traveling further afield.
Soon enough, I had a GPS watch on my wrist to track my pace and heart rate and even help me navigate. And of course along the way I’ve picked up road-to-trail running shoes for mixed terrain, lighter shoes for summer adventures and more robust footwear for winter and longer runs.
