Hi, this is Debbie Boyle's coach at Mojo for Running with episode 131, gift ideas for runners.

Welcome to the Mojo for Running podcast.

I'm the coach, Debbie Boyles, and this is the podcast for middle of the packers,

regular people not afraid to work up a sweat, who embrace the outdoors and that wonderful feeling of endorphins surging through their veins.

My goal is to provide the information you need to achieve your goals. Okay, tis the season. So let's talk about running

gifts. I guess after 41 years of running, I've come across just about all the popular gadgets

and gear for runners. And of course, every year,

more things come out every month. So I thought I might share some of my favorite items with you.

I don't have any financial ties to any of these companies, by the way. I've tried to include

gifts in every price range and for runners of all levels. And I'll try to put links in the show notes to most of

these items. And most of the links will probably go to Amazon. But again, I don't get any money

from Amazon if you go there and buy it. And so there are no particular order, but I will tell

you which are the most valuable to me personally. And also, just occurs to me. I have an idea.

Just for fun, if you get any of these items as a gift, how about posting a photo of you using the

new item on the mojo for running Facebook wall? That would be great fun. Okay, number one, well, of course,

I would have to say it would be to pre-order the human race documentary on iTunes.

All the runners I've showed it to said it was incredibly inspirational.

It will make runners proud to be runners and motivated to keep getting out there.

And it will get non-runners off the couch.

So many people, so many people believe they can't run,

either because they're incredibly out of shape

or because they've never been an athlete or they're too old.
