On your first night of training you'll be given a Can Too running top to wear at Can Too sessions. The rest of your gear is up to your personal style. To help you get run ready, we've put together a list of running essentials.
Running Shoes
There are many types of running shoes on the market but when it comes to running you want to be wearing shoes that have been designed to run in.
The average pair of runners are only built to sustain approx. 482km of use — so if your runners are over a year old, chances are you’ll need a new pair!
When purchasing a new pair of runners go to a reputable shoe store where they’ll put you on a treadmill to identify your unique foots needs.
Running Clothes
Make sure your running clothes are light weight and made from a technical fabric with a good wick absorbancy — don’t wear cotton.
Tops
You will be given your Can Too running top on your first night of training.
Pants
There are so many types of running pants — whether you like shorts, fitted leggings or even a running skirt the colour, shape and style is completely up to you — go wild!
Jumper or Jacket
You may get cold before and after your run, so having a jumper or light weight jacket on standby is always recommended.
Socks
Not all socks are equal and when you’re running it’s important to get a pair of socks that are made from a technical fabric, are form fitting and most importantly aren’t made of cotton — cotton socks cause blisters! $30 for a good pair of running socks may seem extravagant, but your non-blistered feet will thank you for it.
