Quebec accessories for running

With the good weather coming soon and sports activities which are a little reduced due to the current crisis, more and more people are going outside and running.

I am a very energetic person and a few months ago I started running more regularly. Having registered on a whim for the Montreal half-marathon which takes place in September, if it is not cancelled, I have decided to better equip myself to practice this sport. I am far from being a racing professional, but here are some suggestions for accessories made in Quebec that will please you and improve your experience.

For an energy boost

When I plan to run a long distance, I like to bring a gel to consume during my activity. I discovered maple gels and wouldn't use anything else. Reboost 's gel made of maple syrup allows the body to absorb carbohydrates quickly to feel the stimulating effects in less than 10 minutes. This gel provides rapid energy intake to maintain running performance.

When I finish a race, I'm always drained of energy and I like to take electrolytes to rehydrate myself quickly. There are several options on the market like the famous Gatorade, but I prefer to opt for more natural alternatives like Maple 3 's maple water drinks . These beverages are rich in electrolytes and low in calories and thus allow rapid and complete rehydration.

To soothe sore muscles

Even if I stretch before and after my race, but never enough according to my mother, I sometimes have pain in my legs the day after a race. The solution I've found to relieve these pains is to use a foam roller to roll my legs up and massage them with a sore-relieving balm like this one from Pro Circuit . Especially since the mini format slips well into a pocket or a small bag, it can be taken anywhere.

Dress for the race

What could be more unpleasant than running and feeling your cap almost fly off at any moment. ByCKL 's caps are designed for cycling, but are just as suitable for running thanks to the adjustable panel that keeps them securely in place on the head. I fell in love with this colorful model with tropical patterns that will be perfect for summer.

No matter what type of training or running distance you do, these idos42.2 socks will keep your feet dry since they breathe very well thanks to the mesh weave on the top of the foot. Since they are unisex, you can even share them with your spouse.

Ladies, if you're not the running cap type, here's an alternative for not getting hair (or sweat!) in your face. This idos42.2 headband is perfect for both training and performance racing. It comes in several colors for those who prefer more neutral hues.

If you have any tips for running or use products and accessories that you particularly like, do not hesitate to let us know about them in the comments. Have a good racing season and be safe!
