Do you have a friend or family member who loves to run? Do you need a few new gift ideas on what to give your running enthusiast? There are so many amazing fitness products on the market. I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite running items as well as a few items that are also on my Christmas wish list for 2014!
I am sure you can search the web and find many of the items I shared above on similar gift guides, however I did my best to share with you a few new-to-me items that I am sure your running enthusiast will love. If they don’t, please forward me any of the above items to my address… because I would love to receive any of these items under my tree this year!
Janji – I received a pair of Janji leggings, a shirt, and a headband to review. I was really impressed with the quality of the material as well as how comfortable it was! What I love most about Janji is that this is a running apparel company that provides clean water around the world. Each purchase provides anywhere between 3 months to 3 years worth of clean water to a person in need!! When you purchase a gift of Janji… you are also giving back to someone the gift of fresh drinking water!
GU – As an endurance runner, we pay special attention to our fuel not only before and after our long runs… but also during the run. I have run many races fueling with GU gels. My favorite is mint chocolate. Yum. They have a new product called GU brew that has shown to be a greater emphasis on hydration while maintaining a modest amount of carbs. I typically hydrate with only water during my runs, but I am excited to try this out as a post-run rehydration sports drink.
ProCompression Tights – This product is new. It is on my Christmas wish list (are you reading dear husband?). I have their leggings and I love them. I have my eye on these compression tights… yes tights! I am often sore on my hamstrings and quads, and these bad boys will be great for recovery as well as on those long runs!
ProCompression Socks – I run in their low, mid, and long socks! Ever since having that foot injury last year when training for CIM, I wear these socks to keep my feet tight (#keepittight) while running. These socks are great for recovery also!

I love me some janji! Great list!
I am loving those compression tights and that Polar! Oh yes.
I love all things bright & obnoxious – so those socks just jump out at me. Especially as my favorite neon socks are on their last legs. 🙂
Great gift guide! I really want a running vest and I could use that compression gear too! I guess I will add them to my “wish list”!
I’ve never seen the Janji leggings! So cute-I am all about the pattered tights these days. They would get a lot of use.
I’m totally digging the SOCKS!
My running list is to get out and run!
I need more running tights – the Janji ones are so cute!
I never knew they made low compression socks! I may need to take a look at those. One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to work my way up from walking to jogging to running, and so I’ve asked for a ‘good’ pair of running shoes. I hope Santa brings them for me 😉
I really like those leggings and compression tights – cute!
These are some really great gift ideas for sure! Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to snag some of these!
I like the sports watch and I think it would be good motivation for me.
What a great list of products! I’m not a runner but these would be very useful when I take my brisk walks every morning. Thanks for sharing!
Yes to anything Procompression! The tights are on my wishlist too.
Ooo, LOVE those leggings.
I’m not a runner but I could see how the ProCompression Tights would be great to lessen the soreness. Great round up of items!
LOVE procompression
Great list, I’m not a runner but I know where to go if I start.
Those Janji tights are AWESOME! I’ve wanted to try an ultimate direction vest, I’ve heard such good things about them, especially in the ultra community!
Great list! I hope your readers can (and do) take full advantage of the PRO discount code! They won’t be disappointed.
The M400 is fanTASTIC! I’ve barely scratched the surface of using it but so far, it’s amazing! You’ll love it 🙂
I do have a runner on my list. Thanks! But I am really going to work on trying to work myself up to running before the end of next year.
The socks and tights may make a great gift for my daughter. She’s a runner and is always trying new gear.
