The Best Running Gear

/

You can see them cresting a hill, a whole fucking pack of them, and you know you’re going to have to jump off the sidewalk to let them pass. Whose idea were these running groups, anyway?

In the past year, they’ve taken over the streets and, if you’ve noticed, your friends’ Instagram, too. Not that you want to join them, necessarily. Running is, and should be, a solitary sport. But, damn it if that gaggle of runners don’t look perfectly on point. Here’s a round up of the best running gear to help you look confident whether you’re running solo or not.

Adidas Ultra Boost Running Shoes

Your running shoes should be comfortable—soft but not too-soft. The Adidas Ultra Boost shoes are mostly mesh, which helps them breathe. It’s easier to run when your feet aren’t burning up.



Adidas, $210

Garmin Forerunner 620 Watch

Don’t want to deal with a personal running coach, not to mention a throng of sweaty twenty-somethings encouraging you to go faster? This touchscreen GPS running watch monitors your heart rate, tracks distance and pace so you can accurately set, and achieve, goals for yourself.



Garmin, $590

Icebreaker Strike SS Crewe T-Shirt

Black attracts heat. So don’t wear it to run outside. Instead, wear bright coloured T-shirts like this one by Icebreaker. It’s made from merino wool and a sustainably produced wood fibre (believe it or not) that helps to keep the body cool.



Icebreaker, $100

ICNY Socks

Spending more than $10 on a pair of gym socks socks seems steep, but these are made with moisture-wicking yarns that keep your feet dry even after a sweaty 10K. They also have reflective material stitched in, for safety.



ICNY, $25

Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless Earbuds

Do you really red someone screaming in your ear to get motivated? Try these: a Bluetooth headset that offers real-time voice coaching and an in-ear biometric heart rate monitor.



Jabra, $250

Tracksmith Van Cortlandt Shorts

These Ivy League inspired shorts are made with lightweight mesh fabric to keep you feeling free. Inseam falls at four inches, which means they’re also an opportunity to show off your runner’s legs.



Tracksmith, $60

Ciele GO Cap

This brand new Montreal company started less than a year ago, but they’ve already found their way onto the heads of the masses.

They’re lightweight, fast-drying, colourful (if that’s your thing) and come with a wide visor to protect your face from the sun.



Ciele, $45

Icebreaker Victory LS Zip

This is the piece you’ll put on before and after any jog or run. Made from merino, this zip-up hoodie remains soft and breathable, so you won’t feel like you’re suffocating after a particularly hard run.



Icebreaker, $160

Tom Ramshaw knows it better than most: life’s no fun through clear waters.

After skippering his first boat at age 5, racing at the Olympic Games in Rio, and, just last June, competing in the Canada Sail Grand Prix off the coast of Halifax, Ramshaw has spent a lifetime on the water.

Years at sea yield virtues like instinct and adaptability. That’s what it takes to compete at the top. Yet the Toronto-born sailor, now 34, says it was never about the trophies. “I just want to enjoy the experience of competing for Canada on the biggest stage in the sport,” he says. His real hope? Watching “the next generation of young Canadians doing it even bigger and better than my generation.”
