Feet
The BEST place to get fitted for shoes that will work best for your feet and gait. A good shoe is the foundation for the rest of running. (And I never have multiple. One well fitted shoe has been enough for me)
Fleet Feet Spokane
A good sock does not go unnoticed. The compression and cushion are key. Feetures are my favorite! (Especially the ankle length)
Feetures Women's Socks
Insoles make all the difference and are worth their price tag!
Currex Insoles
Another great option for insoles depending on what you’re looking for
Superfeet Running Insoles & Shoe Inserts
Love the compression of these! (I use their knee height for work) the crew socks work great and are a great price for good socks ($5 on sale!)
Lifestyle Crew - Compression Crew-Length Socks
Pricey, but these are my current shoe and they have been working for my narrow feet and stability preference
GEL-KAYANO Stability Running Shoes
Love these! The length is perfect to prevent sliding and keep ankles warm in the winter
Balega Mini Crew Socks
Clothing
Love these for comfort when running. The spandex doesn’t rub like I would expect
Womens 2-in-1 Shorts
Inexpensive and do the job well. Tried & true.
Women's Running Shorts | Old Navy
Tried and true. Big fan.
Trail Running Shorts
Love the brand and their quality. The sports bras rock and i want more
High Impact Sports Bras
The racerback medium impact are my go to sports bra on any given day
Longline Sports Bras
Love all of these—plain & quarter zips
Women's Running Long Sleeve Shirts
Great for early spring/late fall! I pair with a lightweight long sleeve or under a zip in the winter when it gets really cold
Women's Running Vests
I actually don’t own this one yet but I borrow it from my mom every chance I get! It’s cute and warm!!
Patagonia Powder Town Ski Headband
When I want to run in spandex, I love this brand. It’s so soft, a little bit thicker than average, and a great price. (I usually source mine at TJ Maxx). The 5-7 inch lengths are my fav
Shorts - Yogalicious
They have everything for winter running—drawstring, pockets, and compression! I wouldn’t recommend for lounging comfort but they are great for running!
Women's Leggings
Love these tank tops for the summer! They are light and come in all the fun colors. Plus I can usually find them on discount which is perfect because I don’t believe in paying full price for anything except running shoes & insoles
Active Wear Tank Tops - Old Navy - Gap
I definitely prefer the ones with drawstrings! The pairs that I own I have had for years and years. Not all of pockets, but I still like them
Running Tights & Leggings
I use these as a cropped tank top and frequently wear them over sports bras for added support. It’s another item I’ve had for years after finding in the clearance section!
Longline Bras | Old Navy - Gap
Wind breaker is not a first necessity but definitely ranks round 2 on level of importance! I love my Columbia. I’ve had it since like 2019
Women's Windbreaker Jackets
Therma-fit is the perfect thickness in the coldest months of the year. I swear by these
Womens All Products Therma-FIT Long Sleeve Shirts
Gear/Fuel
Gels upset my stomach, but these work GREAT! I look forward to them. Sour flavors are key.
Sour Green Apple Flavor | CLIF BLOKS® Energy Chews
My favorite flavor!! And again, wayyyy better than any gels. I take 3 roughly every 4-5 miles on long runs
CLIF BLOKS® Energy Chews
The best hydration powder in my opinion! They are jam packed and taste best mixed with ICE cold water
BODYARMOR Flash IV Electrolyte Packets, Strawberry Kiwi - Zero Sugar
This one almost tastes like a sour candy! 2nd favorite flavor for sure
BODYARMOR Flash IV Electrolyte Packets Tropical
These mittens may be the only kind I’ll ever wear. The mitten portion folds back to tuck in a pocket above the hand and becomes gloves. Not too heavy but enough coverage in the chilly months
180s Mittens & Gloves
My favorite long run breakfast!!
Buttermilk & Vanilla Power Waffles – Protein Breakfast
