As well as trainers and running clothes, there are many other accessories to complement your equipment, give you a better running experience and make your training easier. Here are the main accessories.

1. Setting goals and measuring progress: sports watches

The fitbit Surge measures heart rate directly on the wrist and delivers interesting statistics on running time, course, speed and elevation gain.

The TomTom Spark Cardio + Music measures heart rate directly on the wrist. The sports watch also has a built-in music player with 3GB of memory for up to 500 tracks.

Other sports watches on the other hand, such as the Garmin Forerunner 630, come with a special belt to measure heart rate:

2. From the practical to the essential

In a special pouch or running backpack, you can put bars or gel, for example.

Some people like to run while listening to music. You can either use your mobile phone and secure it with a special holder or take a good old MP3 player. It's advisable to use Bluetooth sports headphones so you're not bothered by the cable when you run.

If you like to run after dark, you should opt for reflective running clothes as well as a headlamp, to see and be seen.
