Additional Running Accessories

I’ve found several of these running accessories to be helpful:

  • Spibelt to carry vital items during a run or race: energy gels, keys, credit card / ID, etc.
  • Water belt (in many of these you can also carry same items as listed for Spibelt)
  • Headlamp and reflective gear – to light your path and be visible for night running
  • Metronome: see more info about this at Chi Running. I’ve found that wearing a metronome during training and racing runs is very helpful in maintaining a strong (180) steps per minute cadence, especially at end of long runs.
  • Road ID – excellent to wear to be a permanent identification badge for you whenever you run. Lists your vital information and contacts. You can also buy “badges” to include on this ID bracelet for inspiration or remembrance.
