Just asked my buddy who is training for boston marathon. I'll report back with any ideas. Do you have a price range?

edit: Some runners have a certain food for drink they like for energy when training. Maybe you could get a box of energy bars or gels?

They have nice quality socks yet? Get them a couple pairs of quality socks. Wicking, warmth and cushion are nice but depend on what conditions they run in. Anywhere from 10-15 a pair.

 

[Mike Gayner]

Fuel belts are popular.
