My feet used to ache after every hike like I'd been walking barefoot on gravel.

If you hike, walk a lot for work, or just have feet that hate you by 3 PM, save yourself the months I wasted.

Good stuff for the spring and summer time when we get to not be bundled up like a marshmallow 😂

Once upon a time, a brand-new runner set out on their very first run. Their shoes were too stiff, their shirt was itchy, and their shorts… well, let’s just say they learned the hard way about chafing. Then one magical day, they discovered this list — gear tested over hundreds of miles, in sunshine, in rain, and in those dark early mornings when bed felt far too comfortable. Each piece had been worn, loved, and proven worthy by yours truly (you can spot them all over my Instagram). And so, the runs became smoother. The miles felt lighter.
