Marathon Sports - View this location on map 'There s a myth that says running requires nothing more than comfortable sneakers and willpower. Untrue: If you re serious about the sport (or are merely trying to look as if you are), you re also going to need some sweat-wicking shorts and shirts, a cardiac monitor, several pairs of cushy socks, a hat and/or sunglasses, maybe a windbreaker, and, oh yeah, one of those belts that holds little water bottles. Marathon Sports has all the gear you need, and some you probably don t. And its running-obsessed staff is clued in and honest enough to help you sort out which is which.'
