running shoes
These are my all time favorite running shoes! They are extremely supportive and I find that I am comfortable when running on grass and on trails.
Adrenaline GTS 24 Womens Running Shoes
Vaporflys are my go-to racing shoes for road races or track races. Not only do they boost my confidence and make me feel like a professional but they also help my patellar tendinitis and any other pains that I may be feeling. These are also a great s...
Nike Vaporfly Shoes
This is a marathon shoe. These are highly cushioned for those longer and more taxing races, but that doesn’t mean you should only wear them for those. I pull these bad boys out for long runs when I want a faster run when my legs feel a little extra h...
Nike Alphafly Running Shoes
One of my teammates swear by these shoes for her runs especially since they have the foam in the soles.
Fresh Foam 680v8 - New Balance
These shoes are more towards races that are on roads but they would offer great support during long runs and workouts.
Womens Road Racing Shoes
Another pair of very cool and comfy road racing shoes!
Nike Streakfly 2 Road Racing Shoes
These shoes are another pair of comfortable shoes for either racing or just running.
Nike Vomero 18 Women's Road Running Shoes (Extra Wide)
A very versatile shoe with a lot of cushion to alleviate any pain while running on hard surfaces.
Women's Ghost Max 3 Running Shoes
I love the Brooks Hyperion 3—they’re super lightweight and responsive, which makes my runs feel faster without sacrificing comfort. The fit is breathable and supportive, so they work great for both speed workouts and everyday miles.
Women's Hyperion 3 Running Shoes
These are great shoes for trails. The bottom of the shoes are designed for rocky trails and uneven surfaces to keep you stable during runs.
Nike Wildhorse 10 Women's Trail Running Shoes
While these are more on the expensive side, Machs are perfect for speed work and tempo-training. These shoes are designed with plated technology that helps with performance and recovery.
Women's Mach X 3
My roommate swears by these shoes because of how much stability they offer. These shoes are designed to address overpronation, which my roommate says is very successful. They also have very good cushioning.
Women's Arahi 8
These spikes were by far my favorite pair of shoes to race in for cross country. They come in bright colors, so be weary of muddy courses. But if a lot of grass running is on your horizon I suggest these spikes for races.
Nike Dragonfly XC Cross-Country Spikes
favorite + comfortable clothes
These shorts are super comfortable while running. I do not chafe or experience any discomfort. I also wear them as everyday clothes.
BALENNZ Women's Athletic Workout Shorts with Zipper
Perfect for chilly runs AND can protect you from the sun!

Love this comfortable tank top and bra!

Like a Cloud Bra *Light Support, B/C Cup | Women's Bras | lululemon
I find that even though nike bras are a little expensive they are totally worth the purchase. They’re comfortable while running (or laying on the couch)!
Nike Swoosh Medium Support Women's Padded Sports Bra
I swear by my Nike pros. These are shorts that you can where when it’s hot out or wear underneath leggings or joggers when it’s cold out. They are not uncomfortable at all.
Nike Pro Women's 3" Shorts
Here is a fleece sweatshirt that is perfect for bundling up for runs that are during the winter or colder months. This is also a great lounge wear sweatshirt.
Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece Women's Oversized Crew-Neck Sweatshirt
Such a comfortable bra that comes in all sorts of colors. It is also flattering.
Nike Indy Light Support Women's Padded Adjustable Sports Bra
rest and recovery
I literally love my owala. I use my 32 oz one all day everyday and find that the free sip straw helps me drink more water throughout the day. Additionally, it’s very easy to clean.
FreeSip® Water Bottle
Love my roller for recovery especially when I have knots in my calves. I find that rolling a few times a week helps me stay loose and fresh for each run.
MZDXJ Muscle Roller Massage Stick for Athletes
This is my favorite roller for my thighs, back, and backside. I find it super comfortable and helps me feel recovered and ready to go.
TriggerPoint Grid 1.0 Foam Roller 13"
Your feet are so important when running because they are what is making heavy impact with the ground. I find that a foot roller helps me keep them healthy and pain free.
BESKAR Foot Massager Roller for Plantar Fasciitis
I ate one of these before my half marathon and was pleasantly energized without cramps or indigestion. I even eat these as flipping snacks since they are so good.
Honey Stinger Organic Honey Waffle Energy
accessories
I suggest a smaller and skinny one like I have. You defunding need a bulk belt bag for a run but one that can hold your phone and your keys! I love my belt bag and I found it extremely helpful during my half marathon!
Running Fanny Packs
You do not need the most expensive or fanciest watch and I feel garmin has a great selection of watches. They last a loooong time as I am still using my Garmin forerunner from highschool and I’m currently a graduate student.
Sport Watches | Smartwatches
To go with your watch, you’re going to want a fun watch band. I currently use a purple band and find that it does not irritate my skin and I also make sure I keep it clean especially after sweaty runs!
Garmin Accessories | Watch Bands, Charging Cables and more.
I use these for my AirPods to help them stay in my ear during my run and they work really really well. They are also very easy to clean after a run. They do not move when in my ears.
Anti-Slip Silicone Earhooks for Airpods 1 & 2
Some runs are hard because of chaffing BUT luckily this balm comes in handy. A lot of my teammates also swear by it.
Body Glide For Her Anti Chafe Balm Stick
Another slim and light running pack that holds everything you need without discomfort.
AIKENDO Slim Running Belt for Women Men
While these are a little pricey, they are totally worth buying. They honestly do not slip off your nose when running! Even when sweaty! I highly recommend these sunglasses!
