My running must haves!
I am a runner, and a race-walker! Over the years I have refined my kit, and now I can't live without these things! Yes- this is me in the thumbnail!
Running Accessories
My go to vest! It holds everything, and plenty of bungees for attaching extra gear!
I cannot be without my GoodR sunnies- not just for race day & training, but everyday! They don't slip, they have cool colours, and they are affordable so you can have many many pairs.. like me ;)
I always take my waterproof bag to races to keep my warm gear in, for after the race. I know its not going to matter if it gets rained on, or falls on the muddy ground, my stuff will be safe!
I bought my first pair of Jaybird earbuds when I decided to train for and complete a marathon! I needed sounds that wouldnt go flat half way through my training, or race! This brand has the best battery life and sound of anything I have ever tried! W...
Running Shoes
Hokas are now my holy grail of shoes! This model got me through last years Auckland marathon with zero blisters!
Running Clothes
This is one of my go-to T's, especially for when its really sunny! Its light, but gives good sun protection on the shoulders, which sometimes you really need on those long hot runs!
This top is actually magic. Its so lightweight, and the perfect base layer to chuck on after a run, or to wear before a race to keep warm, without the bulk. And of course you can run it it too! Love the long sleeves with the thumb holes.
IMHO I think compression socks, especially for racing or training longer distances, are a must have! I love Pro Compression as they have fun colorful designs as well as more standard colors! And they make my recovery time so much faster.
I always wear my Fractel visors (yes I have multiple!) as I love the fit, the designs, they are reflective, and colorful! Plus easy to throw in the washing machine and they emerge just like new :)
For tights and crops, I cannot go past the amazing designs from Exotica! The material is thick, theres no see-through areas when stretched, which is obviously super important in active wear! And their designs and patterns are the COOLEST!
