When you run, you need to have a lot of mental strength to keep up the distance and pace. This is without counting on the athlete’s equipment which, as we will see in this article, will improve comfort during exercise, but also, to a certain extent, sporting performance. Being well equipped for running is therefore essential.
Why should you use technical clothing?
Technical clothing is specially designed to flexibly accompany body movements. Running clothing is perfectly adapted to the movements of running and perfectly supports the most used muscle areas.
Technical clothing is also designed with breathable fabrics to facilitate the evacuation of perspiration and limit the feeling of humidity in the clothing.
The same goes for pants and running shorts. For winter, there are neck protectors, hats or ear bands. If you are used to running in poorly lit areas or near a roadway, it is best to opt for fluorescent technical clothing which will allow you to be seen from afar.
Use Compression Socks
To run well, you have to feel good in your shoes . But for that, you need to have the right socks. Any athlete who has already tested compressive socks can no longer do without them. These are special socks that have more elasticity in certain areas of the foot, particularly on the soles.
These socks first of all limit the risk of cramps. They also provide good foot support to limit the risk of sprains and plantar aponeurosis, which causes heel spur pain.
Use the Right Shoes
The choice of shoes actually depends on your sporting level. Beginners do not need to invest in sneakers for experienced practice.
The fact remains that certain stores specialising in the sale of sporting goods offer high-end shoes for beginners in order to benefit from the comfort and support necessary to progress quickly in the effort.
Indeed, at the beginning, the notion of comfort is very important. The more we progress in level, the more we will look for performance with lightness, rebound, flexibility and support.
