Well, if you intend to buy clothes for running, do not buy cottons because according to the book Running for Fitness, when it gets wet, it gets heavy, irritates skin, does not insulate and dries slowly. You can buy the ones made of synthetic materials that are light and easily dries up.
As for gadgets, just go slow on the pocket because there are lots of it out there.
There are those watches with special functions like stopwatch. Just make sure it has a large display for easy visibility, it is water resistant and with easy-to-press button for lap functions. There are the other gadgets like heart rate monitor, pedometer, speed and distance monitors but these are not really all necessary for running though some people cannot do without these.
What I consider necessary for me are a shoe pocket where I put my car keys and a bottle of mineral water for hydration. With my MP4 player or i-pod, I'm good to go. Of course, when the sun is up, I use sunblock or a cap. Those are the basics. The rest, I just consider as mere decorations.
