Run with me 520! 10 summer equipment passion recommendations
The weather is getting hotter, and many runners are moving their training to dawn or postponing it to the evening. However, I want to remind everyone: when running in the summer, make sure to stay hydrated! Due to the high temperatures, it's easy to get thirsty during summer workouts. I recommend taking small sips of water. Gulping down large amounts not only hydrates less efficiently but also puts a strain on your heart. Besides staying hydrated, remember to replenish your energy during long-distance runs, wear suitable running shoes, and avoid potential injuries!
Suitable Foot Type: Normal, Overpronation
Suitable Weight: 40kg-90kg
Suitable Terrain: Road (concrete, asphalt), rubber track
Weekly Mileage: 10km-60km
If you want to buy a pair of running shoes but don't know which to choose, go for the Asics GEL-GT2000! Compared to other Asics models, the GT2000 is suitable for a wider range of people. For example, both people with a normal body type and those with a heavier build can wear the GT2000, whereas some shoes designed only for heavier runners may not be suitable for those with a normal build—they just can't 'handle' them. Like the Asics K20, the T-gel in the GT2000 is equipped in both the forefoot and heel, providing high shock absorption whether you land on your forefoot or heel, protecting your ankles and reducing injury.
Additionally, the GT2000 has an elastic shock-absorbing piece in the midfoot area to enhance stability and increase rigidity in the midfoot, which is prone to twisting during exercise. The resin wrap extending from the heel to the forefoot improves foot wrapping, giving a stronger 'stepping on clouds' feeling.
The sole design of Tecnica trail running shoes is based on the TRS rolling system developed by the Italian Sports Science Laboratory after long-term research. It features lightweight, quick response, and excellent grip, providing 60% smooth rolling, 25% propulsion, and 20% shock absorption with each step. This effectively reduces muscle soreness in the legs during trail running and better controls ground contact force, thereby dispersing pressure on muscles and joints.
The Vibram rubber outsole has different tread designs for different purposes, offering excellent wear resistance and good anti-slip properties, suitable for various trail surfaces. The combination of the insole and midsole creates an arch support system that keeps the foot in the proper position on different terrains and slopes during races, providing forward propulsion for the foot.
For long-distance endurance sports like marathons, energy replenishment is essential. The best energy supplement during running is energy gel! Due to its portability, light weight, and ease of use, energy gel is highly favored by marathon participants. Almost 99% of marathon runners carry energy gel to help them maintain endurance over long periods. Running Energy Gel combines maltodextrin, fructose, and maltose oligosaccharides for an ideal energy blend. Unlike others, Running Energy Gel includes blueberry jam, rich in vitamin C and anthocyanins, providing a premium taste! A friendly reminder: always drink water when consuming energy gel!

Why wear quick-dry T-shirts for exercise? Because exercising causes a lot of sweating, and wearing cotton T-shirts that only absorb sweat without quickly wicking it away can put a strain on your heart. Quick-dry T-shirts can quickly absorb sweat from your skin and evaporate it through the fabric in a short time, keeping your skin dry and cooling it down quickly. So for summer workouts, be sure to choose a quick-dry T-shirt!
Codoon men's sports shorts feature an ergonomic design for a better fit during exercise, especially for Asian body types. The elastic woven fabric is durable enough to withstand high-intensity wear and tear, and it wicks moisture away, making it ideal for summer workouts. The waistband with elastic and drawstring design makes it easy to put on and take off, adding an extra layer of safety. The reflective material on both sides helps improve visibility when running in low-light conditions.
The ultra-light trail running hydration waist pack is designed for hydration during trail runs. Its unique buckle design allows for one-handed operation, improving hydration efficiency during trail races. The front transparent phone pocket with a zipper is designed for touchscreen phones, making it easy to use. The side of the waist pack that fits against your body has a reverse mesh back panel for better breathability and moisture-wicking. The zippered waist belt storage pocket can hold energy gels, salt tablets, and other items for easy access.
Recently, protein powder has become popular again in the fitness community. Some say it's good, some say it's not, but do you really understand protein powder?
Protein powder is made from purified soy protein, casein, whey protein, and other sources, including dairy, eggs, meat, and grains. It's convenient to consume and suitable for fitness enthusiasts and those with a fast-paced lifestyle who want to ensure adequate nutrition.
With a regular diet, you need to eat a lot to get enough protein. Protein powder solves this problem by providing a small, convenient, and highly absorbable amount of protein. You can adjust your intake according to your needs.
When is the best time to consume protein powder? It's recommended to take it half an hour before or an hour after training for the best results. However, be cautious not to consume too much. Excess protein that the body can't absorb will turn into fat and may also burden the kidneys.
Why can some people safely complete a full marathon without training, while others have great explosive power but lack endurance? It's because your athletic ability is related to your genes. With today's rapid technological advancements, a saliva sample can reveal your genetic makeup! Genetic testing can help you understand your athletic talents and risks, allowing you to adjust your training accordingly and avoid blind spots in your fitness journey.
