RunningĀ Equipment
The only essential equipment for running you need is running shoes, and I always recommend purchasing from your local running store so you can try on before you buy. But here are some other pieces that will make your run more enjoyable.
Steigen Aqua Three Quarter Length Performance Running and Cycling Socks
Your choice of sock can have a big impact on how comfortable you are while running. No one enjoys blisters, so here are two popular sock brands made specifically for running.
Steigen produces socks of all colours and lengths designed with runners in mind. Steigen offers a Blister Free Guarantee. This means that if you get a blister running, walking or riding they will support you with a refund.

CamelBak Adult-Unisex Classic Backpack
If you tend to get thirsty on long runs, or getting into trail running you may want to purchase a Camelbak. Extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear when walking, hiking and running.
The brand new Crux delivers 20% more water per sip, with an ergonomic handle for easier refilling, and an on/off lever that makes it easy to prevent leaks. Breathable air mesh back panel for a lightweight, comfortable fit and reflective accents for visibility in low-light environments.

Garmin Watch
A Garmin provides you with the ability to record and track your training sessions and races. Statistics including heart rate, pace, cadence, power etc. can be monitored and help you to identify progress along the way. You do not need a watch to train, however the data side of things is a big motivator for many people.
