Get the right gear before you run.

I love running, sadly I can't run much here in Cairo for multiple reasons but when I can, I do!

I think almost everyone could benefit from running but people don't treat it with enough respect. You have to have good gear.... Not necessarily expensive, just right!

First up you need the right shoes. For this you should visit a running shop, talk to the assistant, try shoes on and go for test jogs, get this 100% right! While you are there get some thin double layered running socks.

There are loads of men's running shorts and women's running shorts available and I always choose baggy ones that allow free movement. I wear lycra sports boxers underneath and this helps reduce chaffing possibilities.

For your shirt I would advise a lightweight running shirt that disperses sweat. There are many cheap but good brands available.

What do you wear to run and what tips do you have?
