Presents for runners

[ImNotReallyHere]

My DS 21 has got into running and planning to do a Marathon in spring. His main present is a pair of running shoes. Other than that all I have is some Isotonic gels. We won’t spend a lot more (the shoes were not cheap) but any ideas for stocking fillers/ £20/ 10 and under presents?

Nice quality running socks! Personally I like crew socks as they don't slip as much and keep my ankles toasty for winter training. I've got a few pairs from a brand called Feetures, but also good quality hiking socks (not extra thick boot socks) could fit the bill.

Vimto electrolyte tablets - Holland and Barratt and Sainsbury's sell them. They're my faves so far!

A good quality running torch or a beanie hat with inbuilt torch - good for training in the dark

Not glamorous, but good socks are a must!
Other options for winter running - cap, gloves, safety light.

Oh - a lightweight buff as well! There is a brand literally called "buff" but much less expensive options are available!

A running magazine? A photo book of some of the runs he’s been on?

thanks, we are Manchester so will check out Vimto electrolytes although already bought a different brand. What is a buff? Also love the idea of some kind of lights for running in the dark but any links appreciated

Hi Op. My DD has this one

Love this. Could you wear with headphones too? He has over the head headphones

I've bought my husband a couple of bits from a brand called Sealskinz in previous years. They do waterproof and windproof hats, gloves and socks etc for sports and he likes the windproof gloves and one year I bought him a running hat with light in it. I buy Hilly running socks as stocking fillers. There is this little stick of balm called Snowfire he likes that would be a good little stocking filler, again it's for cold weather to protect against chapping and wind. Last year I got him What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, a memoir by Haruki Murakami about his love of long distance running, which he enjoyed.

I'm intrigued as to what a buff is as well.
DH runs I got him socks

A buff is just a tube of material - “Buff” Is actually a brand - You can get them in merino mix or quite thin polyester (which is better for runners)

have a google for local running shops to you as you’ll eat into your budget with P&P for places like Start Fitness or SportsShoes
Runners Need in Deansgate?
I always need new socks, thin gloves are useful if you wear gloves and these are good
