Gifts to support the runners in your life.

The final in the gift series, this is a list of presents for your runner friends that encourage their running and are low or no cost. 
1-SOUP. Since everyone is super sick of their own home cooking, a wonderful gift that everyone will appreciate is a homemade soup. Carrot soup recipe here. 
2-BANDS. All runners should have a set of bands for strengthening hips and warming up their glutes. I like this brand. 
3-ROUTE IDEAS. You know that awesome run you did last summer that was unforgettable. I bet you know someone who would like to do it if they had the intel. Write up a route, give maps, even go as far as giving ideas for treats after at local coffee shops. 
4-DONUT DROP. Sometimes good health is a splurge we wouldn't get ourselves. Buy some treats, package them nicely and drop them at the doors of your friends, no one is going to be bummed after a surprise treat! 
5-BIKE SUPPORT. Nothing sucks more than riding your bike slowly in the cold. It is freezing. But, do it for a few hours to pace a friend running longer than you can run right now and give some socially distanced support. 
6-SQUATS. Get a friend to join you for a Wednesday night workout. You can pin their screen and feel like you are working out with a friend while they can join a new workout without feeling intimidated.
