Top 5 Gifts for Runners

I wish I could say that I was on track with my holiday shopping here but I am woefully behind and I’ve got a whopping 13 days left to get started and finish! Here’s to online shopping and some great gifts for runners you know and love…I am hoping one or two of these items show up under the tree for me! 🤣

I received a pair of Reebok Floatride Run Fast Pro shoes for review and inclusion in this round-up. 

A gifts for runners round-up wouldn’t be complete without a pair (or two) of running shoes. On my list are the Reebok Floatride Run Fast Pro Sneakers– you literally feel like you’re wearing slippers!

• Reebok Floatride Run Fast Pro Sneakers— I can’t believe how lightweight these shoes are! They have a 3mm drop and the one-piece ultra knit upper that makes them super breathable. I’m loving the supportive 3D heel cradle makes these shoes comfortable over longer distances by preventing heel irritation. I think they would be perfect for a speedy half or full marathon. 

• Salted Caramel (my favorite) GU or the GU Stroopwafel for long runs. If you know a distance runner in your life, long run nutrition is always welcome– especially when it’s extra tasty! If the runner you are shopping for is a maple syrup fan– check out Untapped.

• Garmin Forerunner 654 Music— GPS watches have come a LONG way since I started running and when it comes to gifts for runners, Garmins are often on the top of the list. I’m loving this Garmin! You can download up to 500 songs onto the watch and you can use Garmin Pay so no need to bring cash in case of emergency! It also has a wrist heart rate monitor if you do heart rate training.

• Reebok Thermowarm Padded Jacket— This jacket is lightweight but perfect for keeping your upper body warm on the run (there’s a men’s version too!). It has zippered pockets for stashing your keys and thumbholes to help keep out the cold air. I’m all about layering for cold weather running and this jacket is a great top layer for really cold runs. 
• Athleta Polartec® Power Stretch® Tight— When the temperatures really start to drop, warm running tights are essential. I love the wide waistband and never-ending drawstring on these pants!

What’s on your running wish list?
