Products to Help with Running

Marathon season is here and these are 5 products to make sure you get the most out of your next run.


Before the Run:


The Elgin Archxerciser Foot Exerciser is designed to help improve walking, running and jumping. It relieves sore feet and other foot pains by exercising your arches. The Archxercise rehabs as well as strengths your arches to improve your foot and ankle strength, agility and coordination.




During the Run:





The Superfeet Insoles are specifically engineered to support, stabilize, reduce stress on feet, ankles and knees. Each stride becomes more efficient, reducing fatigue. The non-prescription orthotics absorbs shock, provides bio-mechanical support and optimizes performance.








Monitoring your heart rate, how many calories are being burned and time ran would be extremely difficult if you run outside. The ePulse is the first wireless heart rate monitor and calorimeter. More information can be found in an earlier post here.





Using kinesiology tape during your run can decrease fatigue, increase blood flow and promote proper form. Even when you are tired, the tape reminds you to keep proper form for longer periods of time. Kinesiology taping lifts the skin away from the soft tissue to allow more oxygen to move to where it needs to be the most. The tape also helps during recovery, with its ability to help decrease swelling and accelerate blood flow.



After the Run:


A good massage tool like the Stick can do wonders for your sore, strained, exhausted muscles after a long run. It helps reduce lactic acid and just feels good. It will help with recovery time and getting you prepped for your next run!
