Garmin Forerunner 305 – If you want to buy a gift for a runner in the price range of the Garmin, then this is the perfect gift.  With the Garmin, a runner can track all the data they are likely to need from any run.  The Garmin gives information such as heart rate (average & maximum), distance, calories burned, pace and so much more.  And with the Garmin 405 running at about $200 more, this makes the Garmin 305 a real bargain.  Read the comparison between the Garmin 305 and the Garmin 405.

stick

The Stick Original Body Stick – Yet another wonderful gift for a runner.  The Stick has 15 working spindles that massage muscle groups.  Massaging with the stick increases circulation and reduces soreness in the muscles.  The Stick also helps to get rid of lactic acid that can build up in a runner’s muscles.  The perfect gift to speed muscle injury recovery.

Under Armour ColdGear Fleece Glove – These gloves will keep your runner’s hands warm this winter.  They are multi-functional because they don’t only have to be used for running, but will keep your hands dry and warm during most activities and just normal wear.  These comfortable gloves are lightweight, will wick moisture and regulate temperature.  Other great features are the reflective piping and the handy little key pocket.
