December

This Christmas, give the gift of running!!

If you are stuck for what to give someone this Christmas, then running-related gifts are always welcome - for the runner, the would-be runner, the injured runner, or even the runner's active partner.

A few ideas………….

· Winter accessories are always a good bet - gloves, hats, ear-warmers, thicker socks, reflective vests, strips or belts, even lip salve - and you don't even have to know their size!

· And if you do know their size, then a tracksuit is of course a great gift - there are so many to choose from now, but try and make it lightweight, flexible and not too warm. There are very few days when the full fleecy number is required!

· A colourful new vest and shorts, although unsuitable for immediate use, generally gives your running friend a boost - they can keep in mind its summer use whilst pounding out the winter miles.

· And finally, for those with London 2007 on the horizon, who not get them a supply of gels or energy drinks to help on those long January runs.

Have a merry one!
