This Garmin has everything you need if you’re a recreational runner wanting to get a little more serious. Its distance tracking is more accurate than Apple Watch, and it has more running-specific metrics available. The battery life also lasts days or...
Garmin Forerunner® 55 | Running Smartwatch | Sports Watch
This Garmin is a step up from the Forerunner 55. It has more metrics available so you can train at your highest level. Recommend this watch for people who are serious about running and want to take that next step in training.
Garmin Forerunner® 265 | Running Watch
These are the BEST running shorts to store all your items on a longer run- gels, phone, headphones etc. So much built in storage and they are still light and flowy so you don’t get too hot
FKT 4" - rabbit
My favorite running shoe and great for any level because they are a basic, supportive, quality shoe.
Clifton 10 Women's Running & Walking Shoes
My favorite shoe for a speed workout or race- not for everyday running
Womens Nike ZoomX Shoes. Nike.com
These socks keep me blister-free. You can probably get from other brands but I like their quality so have stuck with them, had a few pairs for a couple years now and they are still in great shape
Women's Running Socks
Great hand water bottle for running in hotter weather, I love how the pocket is big enough to fit phone/gels/anything really and it stays cold for a solid amount of time
QuickSqueeze Plus Handheld Bottle 18oz
Great headphones for running because you can still hear your surroundings. I like the ones that go around my head because they feel more secure but that’s a personal preference
Shokz
Love this belt for extra storage on long runs, and they come in so many colors so it can be a fun way to make your running outfit more exciting 😊
Waist Belt For Runners
Everyone is different but as a beginner distance runner these are my favorite gels
SiS Go Isotonic Energy Gels
Must-have during summer running. The only thing that’s worked to stop my chafing.
Body Glide® Original Anti Chafe Balm | No Chafing Stick | Prevent Arm, Chest, ...
Best best for keeping extra hydration and nutrition (or phone) on long runs without having to hold anything
Women's Fast and Free Trail Running Vest
Recovery
Best recovery slides for after a long run/hard workout. Keeps me comfortable, feet and ankles supported, so cushy.
Women's Restfeel Slide | Women's Sandals
I love these to loosen up my muscles and get to smaller/deeper muscles than a foam roller can reach
Release and Recover Ball Set | Men's Work Out Accessories
I like this massage gun too for a more affordable option, it has a bunch of different attachments so that’s nice to be able to get to different muscles
Massage Gun
Truly the best massage gun I’ve ever tried helps me so much to recover after long runs and keep my legs from getting too sore
Theragun PRO | Professional-Grade Percussion Massage for Deep Relief
I know you don’t wanna hear it but foam rolling has made the WORLD of difference for me in quick recovery and injury prevention. Getting a quality foam roller makes a difference too. They definitely have some on amazon but this set from Lulu has been...
Double Roller | Men's Work Out Accessories
I’ve used these but don’t have my own yet… they are on my wishlist. Legs have NEVER felt better faster after a long run and they are totally worth it. Also going to link a cheaper version, but therabody is always the most reliable in my opinion
Shop All Compression Boots | Therabody | Relieve Muscle Soreness ...
I’ve tried Renpho too and can confirm the effects are super similar to therabody. Legs feel AMAZING after using this quickly after a long, hard run. I’d say therabody is a little better and more efficient, but obviously there’s a huge price differenc...
