Experts
will tell you the most important piece of running equipment is a good
pair of shoes. Shoes absorb most of the impact generated when your foot
strikes the ground. If you have to invest in one thing, get a good pair
of shoes.
After you have bought a good pair of shoes look into other types of
running equipment. If you run on sunny days check out a pair of polarized
sunglasses. They shield your eyes from harsh glare.
If you run in cold weather, shop for cold-weather running equipment.
Ask your retailer about Gore-tex clothing to keep you warm as you exercise.
You'll want clothing made of fabric that wicks away sweat from your
skin because moisture against your body will make you even more uncomfortable.
