5 spring running essentials

Feeling those get fit vibes? Well our new perk Rebel Sport will help and you can grab 10% off all you need to get set and go!

1. Dress the part

If you're an early morning runner, the general rule of thumb for running with a chill is to dress as if it’s a little bit warmer than it is. Cover up but you probably won’t need more than 2-3 layers. You should be a little bit cold when you start out but this will just make you run faster to warm up! Plus, make sure that your trainers are fit for different weather conditions. If it’s raining and your kicks aren't water-proof, in my opinion it’s OK to miss a run – head to the gym instead. Layer up with some long sleeves.  This New Balance Ice Long Sleeve Top offers a bit of warmth warmth, but keeps your body well ventilated when you start working up a sweat.  Just because it's long sleeve doesn't mean it'll slow you down!  This Puma Long Sleeve running Top is perfectly lightweight and keeps you well insulated, a perfect excuse to get your run on this spring! Article_RebelSport Get your runner ready with these Nike Zoom Elite 7 Running Shoes, super lightweight, and super comfort and cushioning, providing the perfect bounce with every step.  Support your steps with the perfect shoe for you.  My personal favourite running shoe is from Reebok, providing your feet the room to breathe, while offering so much support and comfort.  Like what you hear?  Check out these Reebok Z Print Run Shoes.

2. Get a buddy

Whether you head out to meet someone for a run or make a pact with your boyfriend, girlfriend or house mate to get out there together, having a running buddy will make you a lot more motivated!

3. Warm up

Do this before you leave the house! Try a minute of skipping, running up and down the stairs or a few swift yoga poses before a few stretches.

4. Be seen

Make sure you’re either wearing something reflective or you have some reflective strips on your arms and legs. A head torch could also be useful if your route has a section that isn’t well lit.

5. Rehydrate

Take water with you if you’re a long-distance runner or make sure you rehydrate as soon as you get home if you’re a 15-30 minute kind of runner! Rebel_AUNZ_10NP-Blog-Perk
