    If like us you’ve been making the most of the glorious weather this past fortnight and have been out running whenever possible, you may have found your winter running gear to be a bit too hot and heavy.




    In the summer months its time to shed those layers and make sure that your running kit is light, comfortable and allows your skin to breathe; this will prevent overheating and exhaustion and will enhance your running performance.

    So whther you’re male or female, and shopping for running clothes or running trainers, whether you’re running in preparation for an upcoming event, or just enjoy jogging casually, we’re pretty sure that you will find a bargain with Reebok’s summer promotions. Take a look below for Leggit’s top 3 Reebok items for summer running.

    Hexride Trainers
    - so much more than just a regular running shoe, Reebok’s Hexride Trainers not only provide air support in the heal of the trainer and flexibility to help ensure that your feet are comfortable, but also breathability and even moisture control – perfect for those hot and sticky summer runs and for keeping your feet cool

    VTC SS, Play Cool X – Mens Running Top
    A definite must have if you’re running in the sun or the heat. The Play Cool X running top is powered by Outlast technology on the back and neck. Specifically designed to absorb, store and release excess body heat to ensure that you stay as cool as possible throughout your run.

    VTC Long Bra Top – Women’s Running Top And last but not least, one for the ladies. The VTC Long Bra Top comes complete with Reebok’s ‘SmoothFit bonded seam mesh panel, providing ventilation, helping to keep you cool. The VTC Running top also has a built in bra, designed for high impact exercise and with hidden seams to avoid irritation whilst running.

    Choosing the right running trainers

    Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

    Buying the correct running shoe is very important, it can help prevent injury, improve running style and make you look good! Everyone is different, so what is a great trainer for one person may be a poor choice for someone else.

    Using the “Wet Foot Test” is a great way to get a basic idea of the type of shoe you need without having a full running style or gait analysis.

    Wet the sole of your foot with water and then stand on a surface which will clearly show your footprint (a piece of cardboard works great). From your footprint you will be able to identify the best type of running shoe to get you started. There are 3 categories, Cushioned, Stability and Motion; match your print with the diagrams below to work out which style of running shoe you need.

    leggit have teamed up with Wiggle, the online running shop, to give you some expert tips on choosing the right trainers for you.

    Cushioned
    If your footprint looks like this image, with a narrow band or sometimes no band at all between the forefoot and heal, then a cushioned shoe will best for you. It provides plenty of flexibility and foot movement, great if you have rigid feet.

    Stability
    If your foot print looks like this diagram, with a medium band flaring towards the heal, then a Stability shoe will be best for you. It provides a mixture of moderate cushioning and stability. This is considered the “Normal” foot.

    Motion
    If your footprint looks like this image, clearly showing the whole of your sole, then a motion shoe will best suit you. It provides added support and helps prevent your heal from rolling inwards (pronate) too much.
