Clothes!
As a thick thigh runner, finding shorts that fit me comfortably for long runs is a necessity! Even better if a matching bra is a possibility!
Absolutely obsessed with this sports bra! It is very similar to a Lululemon bra I have in the same style and has been very durable for long runs. And you can never go wrong with a matching set! I have this in 3 colors already and I definitely will be...
CRZ YOGA Naked Feeling Cross Back Sports Bras
Matching shorts! I love the built in underwear and that the shorts match the bra! I will say on windy days these can be a little cheeky but they are always the first pair of shorts I grab for a run anyway!
CRZ YOGA High Waisted Split Running Shorts 3"
I love these running shorts! The material is super lightweight and breathable, and they’re really comfortable with no chafing or riding up, even on longer runs. They have a built-in liner, but just keep in mind the side slits can cause a little extra...
CRZ YOGA V Split Running Shorts 2.5"
I’ve bought two of these sports bras and really like them! They run a little small and feel snug, but the strappy back looks cute, and they provide good support for workouts with lots of jumping. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and doesn’t hol...
CRZ YOGA Naked Feeling Strappy Sports Bras
The thumbhole sleeves are one of my favorite features, and the mesh back keeps it breathable and lightweight while working out. It’s cute, comfortable, and definitely something I’d buy again in more colors!
SANTINY Women's Long Sleeve Crop Workout Top
I’m obsessed with CRZ YOGA! Their sets are so comfortable and flattering, and I feel amazing wearing them to work out. The quality is seriously impressive for the price, and even after months of washing, they still look brand new. Definitely recommen...
CRZ YOGA Butterlift Racerback Sports Bras
These shorts were perfect for my half marathon! They’re lightweight, comfortable, and don’t rub or ride up thanks to the built-in shorts with grippy edges. They’re great for running, lifting, or everyday wear because they’re so easy to move in. I’m 5...
CRZ YOGA 2 in 1 Double Layer Running Shorts 3"
Accessories
Just started running consistently and need some inexpensive items to compliment your run? Check out these items. Most are pretty cost efficient for new runners!
This purchase was a life changer for my long runs (and I almost like to use it for short runs as well). It is very comfy and hasn't caused any blisters/painful rubbing. It also holds an insane about of stuff, so if you are a snacker like me, this is ...

These are great affordable sunglasses that look good and stay in place, even while running, jogging, or doing push-ups. They’re comfortable, provide UV protection, and are perfect for outdoor activities when you don’t want to worry about losing or sc...
Polarized Sports Sunglasses for Men Women
These are easily my favorite earbuds! They fit securely without feeling uncomfortable or annoying, and the sound quality is great. I especially love that they don’t go directly inside your ears, so you can still hear your surroundings, which is perfe...
Soundcore V20i Open Ear True Wireless Earbuds
I love this running belt! It’s slim, lightweight, and fits my phone, keys, and chapstick without feeling bulky while I run. The soft, adjustable material is comfortable, and the stitching and overall quality feel durable. It also looks much sleeker t...
AIKENDO Slim Running Belt Fanny Pack
This is great to have, especially during the summer! It doesn’t necessarily have a cooling effect, but it glides on smoothly and provides comfortable, non-irritating moisture. I love that it’s unscented and TSA-friendly for travel. My only complaint ...
Body Glide For Her Anti Chafe Balm 0.8oz
These compression socks provide support and cushioning, with moisture-wicking fabric to help keep feet dry and comfortable. They’re very comfortable and support around the arch and ankle, and may help relieve plantar fasciitis pains for some people (...
IRAMY Women's Compression Ankle Socks 3/4/6 Pairs
This stuff is no joke! A family member sprayed it in the sink, and even the fumes made my eyes and nose burn and had me coughing uncontrollably. I keep one in every car as a backup for peace of mind, and I think it’s especially helpful for runners wh...
Guard Dog Quick Action Pepper Spray Keychain
The perfect lightweight but WARM ear warmer. Keeps me warm but isn't overwhelmingly thick/warm for a run. I have worn for both long and short runs!

I use this for early morning runs to increase visibility. I haven't been run over yet so I would say it is working quite nicely :)
Reflective Running Vest Set 360° High Visibility
If you know, you know. Friction can be a real pain.
Vaseline Jelly Original, 13 Oz Jar
They’re lightweight but still surprisingly warm. I’ve been using them for walking and running, and they do a good job blocking wind. I wouldn’t say they’re for extreme cold, but for everyday use (driving, errands, outdoor activities), they’re perfect...
FanVince Winter Gloves Touch Screen Water Resistant
Fuel
I'm definitely a type B runner when it comes to nutrition. It is important but I like to stay on the healthy side, and avoid pre-workouts/heavily caffeinated options.
Great price, good on your stomach and no aftertaste. Delivers good clean tasting body fuel to start , during and ending workouts along with my regular hydration.
Natruveda Hydration Honey Gel Packs for Runners
It may sound crazy but honey is the best (and only) preworkout I will use. “Honey is an effective, natural, and budget-friendly alternative to commercial sports gels for running fuel because it provides a balanced mix of quick-absorbing glucose and s...

Injury
The material feels lightweight, stretchy, and supportive. It stayed in place well for normal use, and it did not feel bulky under clothing. Packaging was simple and practical, and the strips were easy to take out and apply.
Precut Kinesiology Tape for Knees, 10 Pcs, Black
These things stuck to my feet and toes for 4 days. I took a shower every day I wore them. They provided so much cushion which lessened the pain when wearing my trail runners. I will keep buying these. There were a lot of bandages included.

I love love this! Can't recommend enough. Very flexible and comfortable.
