I only started running towards the end of 2024 and did it on a tight budget. These are the pieces I slowly invested in as I got more consistent and started training for a half marathon. Everything here is something I genuinely use and find worth it, with most items still very affordable.

These are the books that kept me turning pages, the ones that reward your time and stay with you after the final chapter. Whether they’re gripping, thought-provoking, or quietly powerful, every book on this list is one I’m genuinely glad I finished. If you’re deciding what’s worth committing to next, start here.
