shorts
Speed-Ups are my original favorite for hot temperature runs.
Women's Shorts
These shorts store my phone, key fob, and Starbursts for those lovely long runs.
bike shorts
Think Speed Up but more relaxed and breezy. LONG RUN APPROVED.

bras
Give ‘em some support.
I know it says B/C cup but I’m a DD and love this bra. It provides good support for SHORT runs. I have not tested it for longer runs. This is so comfortable I ended up buying a few to wear as every day bras.
Like a Cloud Bra Light Support, B/C Cup
LONG RUN ALERT.
This provides the BEST support. The price tag is hefty but worth every penny. If Lululemon does not have any Enlites listed please check Poshmark & Mercari as these are worth it. I will swear by this bra! Especially front zips. (...
Women's Enlite Clothes
Lulu’s Enlite with front zip is becoming harder to find so this is my second choice. No complaints at all. I just grew emotionally attached to the Enlite. High support and airy.
Endurance Bra Zip: High-Support Women's Running Bra
gear
The best watch. Left my Apple Watch in the dust circa 2022 and never looked back.
fēnix® 7 Pro – Sapphire Solar Edition
perfect for all hair types!
Hair Ties for All Hair | Tight Grip & Non-Slip
I have the Aeropex and my husband has Open Run Pro. I love them both and love that I can still have a chat or hear my surroundings while running!
Shokz
I know it’s a diaper bag but this has been PERFECT. Replaced my gym bags!
New Parent Backpack 17L | Men's Bags,Purses,Wallets
I love this as a DAILY backpack. The cooler has been a game changer (no pun intended) for my fruit snacks!
Game Changer Backpack - Black/Black
This isn’t just for your thighs. I use this along my bra lines and upper arms. After one half marathon of getting chaffing on the underside of my upper arms, I’ve never gone without this.
Body Glide
This recommendation comes more from fear 🤣 I have never experienced the bleeding tank but all it took was me seeing 1 photo to use these for marathon training.

shoes
Ghosts are cycled through my shoe rotation. I like the stability with cushion and wider toe box.
*this will also take you to the Ghost Max which I have not tried as I find them heavy.
Ghost Shoes Collection | Ghost 17, Max 2 & More
Have you ever loved a shoe so much you bought multiples in the same color? That’s me with this shoe. Long run? Short run? This is the shoe I want. Now I rotate through between a line of On Cloud, Brooks and a pair of ASICS but these are what I want e...
The Cloudsurfer Next: Women's Everyday Road Running Shoe
Max version of my favorite style. Just purchased for marathon training as it is suggested for long runs. I feel like I could bounce to the sky. These do not feel heavy to me like the Ghost Max by Brooks.
Cloudsurfer Max: Women's Max Cushioned Running Shoe
I have two different colors of these for trail running and love them. They’ve withstood the terrain. Please note - I am a ‘for fun’ trail runner. None of my trail runs have ever exceeded 7 miles so I can’t give recommendations for Ultramarathons or s...

socks
Great running socks.
Feetures
second favorite!
Bombas
jackets
Where I live it is almost never below 20° in the winter. I also loathe being hot. If you live somewhere frigid, take these recommendations as layering pieces. I’m only wearing one or the other.
Thin but thick? This sounds confusing. Thick enough to keep you warm in chilly runs but thin enough you don’t feel like you’re in a sauna!

I have the Move Pro and it’s not an eyesore at all. It sits happily in my living room. Tempo also offers trainers for $40/month. I tried a few programs and did not enjoy them but love this weight system!
Move Gym
I’ve had my 5mm mat for 6 years and it’s been worthy of the price point. It replaced a cheaper mat I had grabbed at TJMaxx and it was night & day difference. It’s thick enough for comfort from a hard floor but thin enough you don’t feel like you’...
