Basic operating equipment
We take marathon runners as reference and look at the equipment worn by marathon runners as the main reference coordinates of necessary equipment. Although a marathon runner is very professional, he will never be armed to his teeth, but will go into battle as lightly as possible.
1, running shoes
Taking running shoes as the first necessary equipment, I believe everyone will have no opinion. The first requirement of running shoes is comfort, followed by function. Only the feet know whether the shoes are comfortable or not.
Step 2 award
Why do most marathon runners wear vests instead of the T-shirts that athletes usually wear? This is actually a very interesting topic. Perhaps wearing a vest has a larger skin exposure area, which is more conducive to heat dissipation and reduces the friction of clothes on the skin.
3. Shorts
Marathon runners generally wear short running shorts with high crotch, which is quite different from those worn by tennis players, basketball players and football players. Probably short and high crotch shorts reduce the friction between skin and shorts, which is beneficial to heat dissipation.
4. socks
Some runners attach great importance to the purchase of running shoes, but pay little attention to socks. In fact, a pair of seemingly simple socks also has many functional designs, such as producing special wrapping effect, reducing friction with running shoes, absorbing sweat and promoting ankle stability. You can consider buying a pair of socks with more functions.
5. Sports bra (female)
Being a woman is good, but it also needs careful care. For female runners, a professional sports bra can protect the suspensory ligament of the breast from damage and support the weight of the breast through uniform tension, rather than simply squeezing the chest. At the same time, the sports bra should be comfortable and breathable, so as not to hinder the movement of the scapula.
6. Heart rate watch
A heart rate watch can not only record many parameters well, but also feedback your physical reaction during running to ensure your safe and healthy running. Moreover, the watch frees you from the tedious and tedious records of running with your smartphone. At present, the mainstream technologies of heart rate watches include ECG (heart rate band) technology and photoelectric technology, and the price ranges from several thousand yuan to several hundred yuan.
7. Pocket
Although wallets are not usually standard for marathon runners, it is much more comfortable for the public to put small things such as mobile phones, coins, frozen spray, energy glue and salt pills in wallets than to put them in trouser pockets or tie them to their arms. You deserve it.
8. sunshade
If the sun is dazzling during the competition, marathon runners will also wear sun hats, and the brim can also replace the role of sweat belts to prevent sweat from dripping down the corners of their eyes and temples. If it rains during the game, the sun hat is also very useful to prevent the rain from obscuring the vision.
9. Sports glasses
Running in summer, wearing a pair of cool sports sunglasses can not only prevent ultraviolet rays from hurting your eyes, but also increase the rate of running back. It is essential for iron three, cycling and boating enthusiasts.
10, energy gel/salt pill
For horse racing, energy gel can replenish sugar, while salt pills can replenish electrolyte lost in long-term running and sweating, which is an important supplement for themselves, except along the track. But what we want to say is that unless there is a marathon plan in the near future, it is not recommended to use double 1 1 to store too much energy gel for the sake of cheapness, because as a food, the shelf life is generally limited.
1 1, daily account
Why do we regard running books as necessary running equipment? That's because the above are actually hard equipment. Only by knowing how to arm yourself with soft equipment can you become a truly ideal runner. Reading a comprehensive and scientific running score book is much more reliable than all kinds of so-called great god experiences that are hearsay.
Gorgeous equipment
The word "showing off" is basically equivalent to "pretending to be forced". In the eyes of professional marathoners, these equipments are purely cumbersome and almost useless. Of course, mass runners are different from athletes after all, and sometimes they need to use these equipment to increase their self-confidence and get good psychological feelings and show off.
1, compression socks/leg covers
Real compression socks promote blood return through gradient pressure, which is effective for patients with varicose veins, but it is hard to say how effective it is for healthy runners. It is said that compression socks can promote blood circulation, reduce fatigue, promote recovery, give muscle support, reduce energy consumption and so on. In short, these functions basically belong to what you think is useful and what you think is useless.
2, compression pants
Professional athletes rarely use compression pants, while mass runners are very keen. The main reason why professional athletes don't like to use pressure pants is probably that it affects heat dissipation.
3, compression clothing
With compression pants, there will naturally be compression clothes. From head to toe, it is compression equipment, like a mecha. This is a mass runner.
4, water bag backpack
In the cross-country running competition, due to the promotion of environmental protection, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are generally few supply stations. The water belt backpack is the standard for cross-country running enthusiasts, but is it necessary to show off on road running? Different people have different opinions.
5. Five-toed running shoes
The author of the best-selling book Born to Run strongly advocates barefoot running. In addition, many remarks emphasize that ankle degeneration caused by wearing shoes is an important cause of human ankle and knee pain. Only by returning to nature can barefoot running regain its health, and there are indeed many barefoot immortals among the people, making barefoot running a fashionable and interesting way of running. Therefore, five-toed running shoes have attracted much attention. For most people, you can wear five-toed running shoes to strengthen the plantar muscles occasionally when walking or running for a short distance, but there seems to be insufficient evidence that wearing shoes will lead to ankle degeneration.
6, wireless headphones
Listening to music while running is also an important way for many runners to get rid of running boredom and reduce fatigue. Headphones connected to mobile phones or MP3 players are too low, so wireless headsets are needed. Some manufacturers have even developed smart headphones, which can record running parameters such as GPS tracks.
