my whole life i've dealt with extremely flat feet that led to excruciating pain (and an inability to walk/run). i always thought and was told to go for the shoes with max arch support vs. the most comfy fits
these changed the game for me! NO pain, and even helped with the knee pain i was starting to develop during my longer runs!
Women's Hoka Clifton 10
i love the fit of this line! fits well, but not too tight so that it makes me feel claustrophobic while i run!
License to Train Classic-Fit Long-Sleeve Shirt | Women's Long Sleeve Shirts | lululemon
i love the fit of this line! fits well, but not too tight so that it makes me feel claustrophobic while i run!
Women's Taema Crew Short Sleeve Top | Arc'teryx | Sporting Life Online
my favourite shorts are now discontinued (a marketplace find for me), but these are a similar style and i love the length! long enough to not feel exposed, but also allows for mobility and flexibility!
Norvan Short 5" Women's

light, and perfect for the fall/winter runs! can also put on a pair of leggings underneath on those colder days

accessories
love being hands-free and able to hold all of the things on my long runs!
also love the fun colours it comes in — great to be able to be seen on evening runs!
ACTIVE SKIN 12 Unisex Running Vest with flasks included | Salomon
great for shorter runs where you don't need to bring so much stuff (fuel, etc) and women's clothing never has pockets!
ACTIVE Unisex Accessories | Salomon
extra flasks were always needed. pro tip: put them in the freezer/fridge prior to your run — dual purpose for cooling you down and keeping your water cold!
same brand as the previous sock rec, but the wool version, so perfect for those fall/winter runs where it's getting colder outside!
DANISH ENDURANCE Merino Wool Trail Socks 2-Pack
my ears are always the first to feel the elements so these are super helpful and light to stuff into my vest when i start to get too warm/sweaty!
Winter Ear Warmer Headband 2 Pack Fleece
helpful to protect the neck, chin, and nose from the elements during the fall/winter months!
Rho Neck Gaiter Long
my favourite running socks! enough cushion and compression, but not so much that they cause pain or blistering! also thin and light for those hot summer runs!
DANISH ENDURANCE Cushioned Running Socks

this one was a hard transition for me, as a previous apple watch girlie.. but ultimately loving it!!
LOVE the battery life, and the ability to track my runs and lifts more accurately!
Garmin vívoactive 5 GPS Smartwatch Ivory
i'm OBSESSED with these buds! came from airpods which had terrible battery life, and would keep falling out whenever i would run or workout 😓

not a tool or product, but really helped me with accountability, and tracking my progress!
