Massage Gun Gifts for Runners
Looking for a massage gun gift for runners? A quiet, cordless massage gun fits the part of running nobody posts about: the ten minutes on the couch after a long run, when calves and thighs feel tight. Ours cost $49.90 each with free US shipping and 30-day returns: the 30 Speed in gray and the 20 Speed in black. That is less than many marathon entry fees.

Which Runner Are You Buying For?
- The new 5K runner: just started a couch to 5K plan and has no gear yet. Start them on the 30 Speed: level 1 is soft, and they can go up one step at a time as they get used to it.
- The marathon or half marathon trainer: long runs on the weekend, easy miles during the week. A few minutes on the calves, quads and hamstrings after the long run becomes part of the routine. The 30 Speed has 12 mm amplitude and 45 lbs stall force for big leg muscles.
- The trail runner: hills, rocks and early starts. The carrying case goes in the car next to the muddy shoes, ready at the trailhead.
- The early morning runner: out the door at 5:30 while the house sleeps. Both guns run at 30 to 50 dB, so a quick session before the shower will not wake anyone.

30 Speed or 20 Speed for a Runner?
- Pick the 30 Speed (gray) if they like fine control: 30 levels, 12 mm amplitude and 45 lbs stall force, up to 6 hours per charge.
- Pick the 20 Speed (black) if they want it simple: 20 levels, a brushless motor up to 3200 RPM, 12 mm amplitude and up to 6 hours per charge.
- Both come with 6 interchangeable heads and a carrying case. Not sure which head goes where? See massage gun heads explained.
A Simple Post-Run Routine to Write in the Card
- Cool down and stretch first, then sit or lie down comfortably.
- Use the round or flat head on a low level.
- Glide slowly over the calves, the front and back of the thighs and the glutes, about 1 to 2 minutes per area.
- Keep moving the head and skip the shins, knees and ankle bones.
