Over the past 18 months Ashlie has developed a love for running. With a few races under her belt she has entered her first Marathon \u2013 Paris, April 2016. With a new job and new commute route, she is regularly running stretches of the Thames Path clocking up miles as part of her training. With this in mind, Ashlie’s put together a very handy Christmas wish list for runners. <\/span><\/h5>\n

I hate being uncomfortable, too hot or too cold when working out. So having the right gear, for me, is key to a successful training session. Last winter I moved my workouts inside and worked on strength building, so my winter running wardrobe is rather minimal. As I pile on the layers with the current cold weather, my running gear is on a tight laundry schedule and so I\u2019m hoping some of the following fitness clothing will be under the tree for me!<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ashlie's<\/p>\n

Merino 200 Glove,<\/strong> \u00a320.00<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

In winter I have to run wearing gloves, however I reach a point in the run when I\u2019m suddenly too hot and whilst I know I should keep them on, I always take them off! These luxury Merino wool blend Ronhill gloves are naturally odour wicking – wicking fabric pulls moisture from the body to the exterior of the material where it can evaporate more easily. So hopefully I can leave these on for the full run.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ashlie's<\/p>\n

Hilly Marathon Fresh Anklet,<\/strong> \u00a310.99<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The right socks can mean the difference between a blissful run and weeks of pain from blisters. My last race was Spartan Beast (24km+ with 25 obstacles), I ended the race covered in cuts and bruises, yet the injury which took the longest to heal was a blister and stopped me running for weeks. These Hilly marathon women’s running socks have under toe seamless construction, reducing the potential for chafing.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

Brooks Ravenna 6 Ladies Running Shoes \u2013 Pink,<\/strong> \u00a359.95<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Research shows you should change your trainers approximately every 500 miles. With four months of marathon training ahead of me, I\u2019m going to be spending a lot of time in my trainers, so I need a second pair. Finding the right trainer is crucial, but not always the easiest. Luckily I know the Brooks Ravenna range fit me perfectly and I\u2019m ready for an upgrade. The RRP is \u00a3109.99, yet I managed to find the latest version online at Start Fitness with 45% off!<\/span><\/p>\n

4. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

FALKE Shell Vest,<\/strong> \u00a3140<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Back to my ongoing wardrobe conundrum of being too hot or too cold and the search for clothing which hopefully helps – I really want a quilted shell vest. The PrimaLoft\u00ae lining and open-knit ventilation panels on the back of this vest allow for temperature regulation. So I think this layered over a long-sleeve shirt and leggings would be the perfect winter running outfit.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Salomon Endurance Tight, <\/b>\u00a360<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Wearing compression socks really help me with post exercise soreness, so I am keen to own some compression running tights. These Salomon endurance tights are compressive and also have two handy gel pockets \u2013 pockets are a must for me on running tights.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

The Way of the Runner: A journey into the fabled world of Japanese running by Adharanand Finn<\/b>, \u00a314.94<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cRunners who are consistent with good habits have the most success,\u201d says Tom Holland, an exercise physiologist, sports nutritionist, coach, and author of The Marathon Method<\/i>. Bedtime reading is a routine I want to stick with in 2016, and reading running books before bed has motivated me in the past to get up for those early morning runs in the dark. I really enjoyed reading Adharanand Finn\u2019s Running with Kenyans<\/i>, so The Way of the Runner<\/i> is definitely next on my reading list.<\/span><\/p>\n
