I’ve been running for 20 years now and these are my favorite tried and true items. You really don’t need much to start running. Just clothes that you are comfortable in, a good pair of shoes and some headphones!

All you need is a good pair of headphones and a basic running watch to get started.
These are the only headphones I use for running. They even last through an entire marathon without dying.

You don’t need a fancy watch. I love my Garmin Forerunner 55. It’s a beautiful color and meets all my needs as a runner.
My favorite running clothing brands from sports bras to socks.
This is my favorite sports bra and only one I own anymore in multiple colors. Plus the back design is so cute! The padded cups are sewn in so no adjusting every time you wash!
Womens Zenvy Sports Bras
The cutest running shirts, sweaters and shorts. One of my favorite running brands for clothing!

If you have a little 6 months - 4, I highly recommend a Bob running stroller. No excuse not to get your run in!

I have tried many different brands and these are my favorite electrolytes. I love the fruit/citrus flavors and they actually dissolve in your water.
