I run, I lift, and I live in athleisure. This is the exact gear rotation behind my training, from marathon prep to leg day. I've logged the miles (7:55 half-marathon PR and a full marathon in 2025), so everything here has survived real workouts, not ...

Running kit

Everything I actually run in, from daily trainers to the belt that carries my phone on long runs. If it's here, it survived marathon training.

Nike has been my default since I started taking running seriously. The Pegasus line carried me through half-marathon training. Reliable, no drama, just works.

My daily trainer. The Pegasus has been Nike's workhorse for years, and the 41 keeps that going. Cushioned enough for long runs, snappy enough for tempo days. This is what I'd tell a friend to buy if they're starting half-marathon training.

Non-negotiable for long runs. The noise cancellation kills treadmill hum and traffic noise, and they actually stay in my ears when I'm sweating. I charge the case with my phone every night. Part of the routine now.
AirPods

I've posted these in my gym content and off-duty fits. The Jordan 1 Mid goes with everything. I wear them with joggers, jeans, whatever. Classic for a reason.

The $20 watch that does everything. I time my intervals and rest periods on this. No smartwatch needed, no charging, just works. Perfect beater watch for the gym.

Post-workout essential. The BlenderBall actually works. No clumps, even with thick protein. I keep one in my gym bag and one at home. Dishwasher safe, which is non-negotiable for me.

Perfect for warm-ups and travel workouts. I use these for activation before leg day and for full sessions when I can't get to the gym. Light, cheap, and they actually work.

Gym rotation

My gym bag essentials. What I bring for lifting days, from the bag itself to the small things that make training better.

Grip matters. These save my hands on heavy pulls and rows. No more torn calluses. The wrist wrap adds support without feeling bulky. I don't lift heavy without them.
Weightlifting Gloves

My gym bag. Fits my lifting belt, shoes, shaker, and a change of clothes without feeling bulky. The side pocket is perfect for phone and keys. Mine has lasted years.

Off-duty athleisure

Sneakers and staples for rest days. The rotation when I'm not training but still want to look athletic.

My Puma partnership put these on my feet and I haven't taken them off. The Palermo is that perfect retro-terrace silhouette. Clean enough for off-duty, sporty enough to keep the athletic vibe. I wear these with joggers on rest days.
