SPORTS YOKOHAMA Vol.33:Feature(1/4)
Over the recent years, an increasing number of people have come to enjoy running on the street. Running provides a number of benefits, such as weight loss, prevention of lifestyle-related diseases, stress relief and improvement in the immune system. While considered good for health, running may injure you in an unexpected way if you try it without proper knowledge. Getting yourself well prepared is important. This volume of Sports Yokohama introduces a running program for beginners and offers a variety of information on running in the City of Yokohama, including recommended running gear and running routes. Read the feature article, and you’ll want to join fellow city runners!

Here are some tips on the running gear you may find useful when running.
These products are recommended by the staff of Yokohama Sogo.
With apparel makers competing to develop better running wear, including outfits made of sweat-absorbent, quick-drying material and those designed to help alleviate fatigue, high-quality running clothing is increasingly available.
You can also ask a clerk at a sports shop for advice, and you’ll be able to find the wear that best fits your needs.
Outfits provided by Wacoal Corp.
Sunglasses – Price starting at 12,600 yen
Sunglasses protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays, airborne dust, wind, etc. These sunglasses are lightweight, do not slip off easily and provide a wide range of view.
Arm pouch – Price: 2,100 yen
You can wear this arm pouch on your arm to carry a cell phone, a music player, small change and other items on you while running. Also, the pouch is designed to allow you to take out the items with ease.
Arm cover – Price: 2,520 yen
The arm cover gives the skin protection from sunburn and lets you adapt flexibly to weather-caused temperature changes and keep your body temperature at an appropriate level.
Running gloves – Price: 1,890 yen
Made of sweat-absorbent, quick-drying material, these running gloves are hard to become steamy. They also filter out ultraviolet rays. The fingertips of the gloves are cut off, allowing for freedom of movement with the fingers.
SPIbelt – Price starting at 2,940 yen
Made of stretch fabric, the SPIbelt fits your waist and ensures ease of movement. It can contain much more stuff than you expect from its appearance.
Five-toe socks – Price: 1,680 yen
These socks allow every toe to move freely and let you develop the sense of gripping the ground with each of your toes when running. This stimulates the individual toes and promotes blood circulation.
