High-quality shoes, apparel and accessories can make all the difference between an OK run and a great one. Here are some fun ideas for what the athlete in your life would love to receive this holiday season.<\/p>\n

\"Dress
Dress for success! Many Central New York runners and walkers brave the elements to enjoy the fresh air year-round. The best way to be prepared is to layer up and be ready for anything! Laura is wearing a a plum Adidas Climacool shirt ($55); a white Brooks vest ($110) with zippered pockets to hold her keys, phone or nutrition; and Nike Epic Run tights ($80) to keep her warm\u00a0and fast on her run. She\u2019s also wearing a Fleet Feet Sports exclusive shoe, the Karhu Synchron ($160). And don\u2019t forget the accessories! She\u2019s prepared for the elements with Saucony run mittens ($40); a Sauce insulator headband ($25); and purple Goodr sunglasses ($25), which are lightweight, polarized and won\u2019t slide off during the run. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Runners
Runners love technology! It keeps them focused on the finish line and can track their training, progress and PRs. The Garmin Vivoactive 3 ($300) is a watch for men and women that easily transitions from the track to the bike to the office. It has built-in GPS, 15 pre-loaded sports apps and a contactless payment feature. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"These
These socks aren\u2019t the tube socks you found under the tree as a kid. Try all non-cotton socks ($10 to $17 per pair) that wick away moisture and won\u2019t slide, slip or cause blisters in running or walking shoes, cleats, boots or casual shoes. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Stocking
Stocking stuffers: Fill your athlete\u2019s stocking with goodies that are sure to make them smile and feel good well into the new year. Everybody needs a great water bottle \u2013 kids included (featured: $13 to $33). Stock up your athlete\u2019s emergency kit with RockTape ($20) and Rock Sauce ($15) for those post-workout aches and pains; give shoelaces an upgrade with Lock Laces ($8); and everyone will love a pair of Goodr Sunglasses ($25), which come in a huge range of colors and a cute gift box for easy wrapping! <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Safety:
Safety: Help keep your runner safe with a light or a reflective product. There\u2019s a huge range of safety products for runners, walkers, children and pets available. Featured items include the Nathan Runner\u2019s Headlamp ($120); the Amphipod reflective vest ($32); or the Nathan Runner\u2019s Flashlight ($45), which features a strap for easy carrying. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Massage:
Massage: Keep your athlete\u2019s muscles long, limber and feeling good year-round with the Roll Recovery ($120) massage tool. It\u2019s like having your own personal masseuse wherever you need it. Or pick up a massage product that focuses on the feet, back, arms or other parts of the body ($10 to $120). <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Headphones:
Headphones: Know a runner or walker who loves to listen to music during their workout? Consider a pair of AfterShokz ($99), wireless bone conduction headphones that sit outside of the ear, allowing you to hear the music and your environment at the same time. They\u2019re safe and fun! <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n
