Boston Marathon

SHOP: 10 winter workout items you need to own now

If you’re training for the Boston Marathon, you have no choice but to run in the cold weather. And while this winter has been slightly more amenable to running outside than last year, the most recent Arctic snap has proven that in Boston, you can never be too prepared.

Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats for Snow and Ice

If you can’t stand running on sidewalks and want to head for the woods, some traction cleats ensure you’re actually running and not just falling in a forward direction.

Bicics Reflective Bands

It’s dark when you wake up. It’s dark when you leave work. Chances are it’s dark while you are running too. Be safe out there.

FlipBelt

Stash your phone, keys, even an ID and credit card (for those drinking clubs with a running problem).
