🏃♀️ Running Through It
15
items I have a very on-again, off-again relationship with running. Sometimes it’s therapy, sometimes it’s stress, sometimes it’s just because I’ve run out of other ideas. I’m not always consistent, but I do end up signing up for a few races each year — tra...

Clothing
I care a lot more about comfort than trends. These are the pieces I reach for because they stay comfortable through training, races, and everyday life.
This is my everyday bra — I wear it for work, running, tennis, and regular athleisure. It’s comfortable, supportive, and versatile enough that I even wear it under nicer clothes sometimes. Just an easy go-to for pretty much everything.
Happiness Runs Crop Tank
My go-to shorts for literally anything—running, errands, lounging, layering, whatever the day brings. They’re super soft, never see-through, and they don’t sag or roll down. You can wear them on their own with confidence or throw them under something...
Real Me Bike Shorts | OFFLINE by Aerie
Great for daily runs or shorter races. The waistband has tons of storage for your phone, keys, Clif Bloks — whatever you need. The outer layer is a soft, quick-drying material that fits loosely over the built-in brief, so they’re comfortable and easy...
FP Movement Tempo Light as Air Run Shorts
Gear
The gear that's actually earned a permanent place in my running routine. Some I've used for years, some are on my wish list, but every item here has a reason it's included.
I ran road races in the v4, and the v5 looks like a great update with some fun new colors. I picked up my first pair five days before a half marathon, ran in them twice, and then ran the race in the rain — not a single blister. They’re super lightwei...
New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5
The Mach G is a larger version, great for anyone with a bigger noggin. Super lightweight and stays put on runs, choose a frame with fun green lenses that work well in sun or shade so you don't waste time taking them on and off during your run!
🕶 Goodr Sunglasses Mach G
This is a dream upgrade for me — one day I hope to spring for it. Unlike my current basic vest, the Omorpho contours to your body and moves with you. You can snap in extra weight when you want, or go lighter with a wearable microload option. Looks li...
🎽 Omorpho Weighted Vest
These have been my daily runners for over ten years. I use them for endurance runs, plyos, and agility work — they handle everything. I even played a tennis match in them once in a pinch (not recommended, but they got me through). Super comfy and sup...
👟 Adidas Women’s Ultraboost
Because what do you do with all the medals and bibs from your races? Instead of letting them pile up in drawers, closets, or random baskets, consolidate the clutter into one organized display. It keeps everything in one place, shows off your accompli...
Medal And Bib Display
Tech
Running tech has come a long way. These are the apps and gadgets I've actually found useful—whether it's tracking miles, staying motivated, or just keeping me accountable.
Strava: the go-to running app. There’s no affiliate link here—I’m just adding it because if you know, you know… and if you don’t, you should. Great for tracking runs, joining challenges, comparing segments, and keeping that little spark of motivation...
Strava
Am I an Android user who “ruins” the group chats according to iPhone people? Yes. Did I scoop up this watch because I had a credit lying around? Also yes. But honestly—this thing is fun. It’s packed with features you actually use, and the price point...
Samsung - Galaxy Watch FE
I had the original version and now use the Galaxy Fit 2 — and I even bought my mom the newer model. For the price point, this thing is a total powerhouse. The battery life is honestly the standout: it easily lasts a full week without needing a rechar...
Fitness Trackers - Samsung Galaxy Fit
These are incredibly fun for agility and distance-based workouts. You can set up your own custom programs in the app or choose from the built-in ones depending on what you’re focusing on. They work great for solo training, but you can also turn them ...
BlazePod
Protection, Recovery, Comfort
Stuff happens, sometimes it's not the end of your run. This version is slightly stronger than the original but has a different adhesive formula that doesn't irritate my skin.
KT Tape Pro Oxygen™ - Kinesiology Tape with Celliant for Muscles
Let’s talk about the uncomfortable before it actually gets uncomfortable. I’ve tried so many brands, and this one is hands down the best. It beats Glide and any of the sports-oriented sticks, creams, or powders. It goes on as a gel and instantly turn...
Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel
If you’re someone who tends to lose toenails (no shame—we’ve all been there), these little silicone caps are lifesavers. My friends jokingly call them my “toe condoms,” which is mildly embarrassing, but honestly they work. They protect your toes on l...
