For the most part, the drinks are useless. Unless you're running long distances, water is just fine. Anything longer than an hour or so you might benefit from a sports drink, especially if it's hot. Personally, I find running with a drinks bottle (especially a belt of them strapped around your waist) is a sign of immense weakness. Plus, you look like an idiot.

Performance apparel, as I've found out this summer, does make a big difference to your comfort. Moisture wicking shirts are much better than cotton, but if you're only running 5km at a time, it's not a big deal.

Finally, shoes are essential. I don't care what anyone says - unless you're genetically blessed, a shoe designed for your specific running style/gait/size, etc. will make a world of difference. Maybe not during the run, but definitely after. I once (drunkenly) ran 3km in a pair of Stan Smiths and my legs felt it for days.
