2020 has brought so much change and one of the things many of us had to adjust was where and how we get our exercise. We at Sports Chiropractic Institute wanted to give a list of our favorite things for those of you who have recently picked up running.
- Proper Running Shoes: Every runner needs a proper pair of running shoes that best fits their running style and body. At West Stride Running (https://shop.weststride.com/) right here in Smyrna they take the time to fit you to a shoe that best works for you. Having the proper running shoes can help to prevent future injuries.
- Amp-arm-pod Phone Arm Band: Another essential that our awesome local running gear store (https://shop.weststride.com/) has are high quality arm bands to hold your phone while you’re on your runs. Nothing beats being able to be hands free while you run!
- Injinji Running Socks: These toe socks are well made and extremely comfortable! They allow for your toes to feel free and movable at all times. (https://www.injinji.com/catalogsearch/result?q=running)
- Nox Running Gear: If you’re as crazy as Dr. Linkhorn and enjoy waking up before dawn for your morning run then Nox running gear (https://www.noxgear.com/) is a must. They carry the best light up vests for you and even your furry running buddy to illuminate your darkest runs.
- Head lamp: If you’re choosing to run before sunrise another essential is a light weight head lamp. If you wanted to shop local: Going Gear (https://goinggear.com/) located on Concord Rd in Smyrna they have helpful staff that will make sure you are fit with a head lamp that is bright and comfortable for your future runs. Dr. Linkhorn’s favorite is Petzl NAO+ Headlamp. She loves this because it is extremely bright, comfy, and rechargeable.
We hope you found our list helpful and you continue to strive towards your goals. Happy running!
