items Ready to upgrade your run? As a 6-time marathoner who's tried a lot of gear, I've done the trial and error so you don't have to. This list is packed with my personal favorite running essentials—from comfortable clothing to hydration solutions and ene...
Compression shorts have gotten really popular but I've had a hard time finding comfortable shorts that don't ride up. I've been using these for the past year and among all of the shorts I've used THESE are my favs by FAR!!!
Janjii Women's Compression Shorts
I've tried many different types of hydration but always go back to nuun because it's not too sweet and works well for me. Favorite flavors are the fruit punch and strawberry lemonade
Nuun Hydration
I got this hydration vest while training for marathon 6 I don't know why I waited so long. I'd been training in the heat and was super dehydrated and this vest saved me. I prefer having the two bottles in the front because I can put Nuun in one and w...
Salomon Adv Skin 12 Hydration Vest - Women's
My favorite gels after trying many others (Maurten, Gu, Honey Stinger, etc.) and this I find to go down the easiest in terms of texture and doesn't make my stomach hurt.
Huma Gel
I used to be a Nike girl but New Balance has really upped my running game. These shoes are nice and bouncy and give you an extra push. Obviously shoes are very individual but as someone who needs a neutral shoe
Fresh Foam X 1080v14 - New Balance
It's amazing to me how much a large water bottle with a straw can influence how much you drink. I was skeptical but it truly helps and great for after or before a run to get your fluids in! The Hydrojug is on my wishlist and I've heard it's great.
Hydrojug Traveler (40oz)
I currently have this travel tumbler and I love it! I find many of them are heavy but this was is not, the straw sips perfectly and I actually like it way more than my brumate which does close. I find this is a good one to keep at home again because ...
40 oz Travel Tumbler
I've used bombas for awhile and found they get torn apart within the year so I've started using Balega and these are comfortable and sturdy! They're comfortable and have some good cushion and I've never had an issue with blisters.
Balega 3 Pack Hidden Comfort No Show
If your legs ever feel like lead after a run, this is your new best friend. My Hypervolt is an absolute lifesaver for recovery. It digs deep into all those tight spots and sore muscles, helping me loosen up and feel ready for my next run faster. It's...
Hyperice Hypervolt Massage Gun
A cheaper option for recovery, also a must have if you're training hard. Great to use to speed up recovery and keep your muscles fresh!
TriggerPoint Foam Roller
I love Athleta shorts and these are one of my go-to's for a run. They have a convenient little pocket for your keys
Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short | Athleta
My favorite long run sports bra! It has a convenient pocket in the back for your phone and two pockets on the sides that I use for gels. You could also use those pockets for your keys or another small item.
3 Pocket Sports Bra | Brooks
I love wearing my goodr sunglasses while running, they never slip and they're very affordable so I get different colors and use those depending on my running outfit
Goodr Running Sunglasses
These are my go-to headphones for running, hands down! Living in NYC, safety is a huge priority for me, and the open-ear design of these is a game-changer. They let me hear my surroundings clearly (like traffic or bikes!) while still enjoying my musi...
Shockz OpenRun Pro 2
This is my secret weapon for running completely hands-free! The SPIbelt is incredibly lightweight and stays bounce-free no matter how much you're moving, which is a huge deal on long runs. Despite its slim look, the expandable pocket holds way more t...
