What to WearStarting Out
Running is not an expensive sport. When a junior runner starts out they just need a t-shirt and shorts and a pair of trainers. In colder weather, an extra layer is necessary and perhaps a waterproof top. It's a good idea to take along a bottle of water or an energy drink, especially in hot weather. Shoes If the junior is going to stay with the club and wants to begin to enter events then a good pair of running shoes is important. These shoes have better cushioning and offer greater support than ordinary trainers. Popular makes are: Nike, Saucony, Asics, Brooks, New Balance, Mizuno, Reebok and many others. They are available in specialist running shops and the better sports shops. It is good idea to go to a shop where the sales assistants know what they are talking about. Online prices for shoes for junior runners are in the £35 - £60 range, but it is worth paying a bit more from a shop to get the advice. This website offers advice and has an interesting video of how a correct running shoe improves the runners gait. Shoeguide Club Kit
CLUB VEST
The club has an official Honiton Running Club Vest which is worn in races. Members of running clubs that are affiliated to England Athletics pay reduced entry fees for EA events. For these events the club vest should be worn, although this rule is not enforced. Simon is in charge of kit and usually takes it along to club nights. Sizes 28 to 48 Price: £10.00 but we have vests that the juniors can borrow when they represent the club 
CLUB JACKET
The Jackets were sponsored so that we could offer them at roughly half-price. We hope to raise more sponsorship to continue this arrangement. Sponsored prices are: Price for jacket £10 Contact: Simon Spiller Page last updated 17th Sept 2019 |
