We’re in that blissful weather period between rainy and unbearably hot that makes for gorgeous late-spring outdoor workouts. On Better.tv, we’re showing you the best workout gear for your outdoor run (or brisk walk – that works too).
What To Wear
Tired of running in those weird cotton shorts/prefer something that covers your behind? Try a GymGirl running skirt – the Classic is now on sale for $10 (down from $58). Lululemon’s Run:Flow Thru Dress ($84) accomplishes the same feat, with the added bonus of looking a little like a sundress.
To get the most out of your summer stroll, tie on a pair of Reebok EasyTones ($100), which have built-in pods to destabalize your foot and encourage increased muscle activation.
Where To Store Your Stuff
Instead of a fanny pack (ugh), stash your keys, ID, cash, and even an iPod in a Spibelt ($20) – it’s slim enough to hide under a tee, and is my hands-down favorite running accessory right now.
If you’re married to the idea of stashing stuff in your sports bra, the Racktrap ($8) is made for you. It’s a little pocket you stick in your…rack…that keeps keys from leaving an imprint on your chest.
And, How Not To End Up On The News
With a Wellalarm, you can basically wear all of your medical and emergency contact information on your wrist (or around your neck). The jewelry (this bracelet is $150) has a telephone number and URL etched in, where you store emergency info in case you’re injured while you’re out running alone.

Just commenting on Wellalarm, you can basically wear all of your medical and emergency contact information on your wrist (or around your neck), they also have stickers and clothing labels, so you can wear your ID instead of carry…just brilliant.
