THE CHAFE ENDER
Body Glide Original Anti-Chafe Balm
$ budget-friendly within accessories
A deodorant-style stick you swipe on thighs, underarms, and anywhere a seam touches skin. It is the cheapest insurance in running, and the day you forget it is the day you will finally understand why everyone owns two. Buy it before you need it, which is now.
Best for: anyone who has ever winced in a post-run shower

Worth knowing about accessories
- Apply anti-chafe balm before the run, not after; it is prevention, not first aid.
- Test every belt, vest, and pair of socks on a training run first, because race day is a terrible time for product research.
- Wash technical socks and skip the fabric softener, which coats the fibres and undoes the wicking you paid for.
- Keep a small blister kit in your race bag; the day you need tape is never the day you planned for.
