Really helped me! Often I get sore knees due to imbalanced muscles or just impact so this was a game changer.
1000mg Muscle & Joint Freeze Roll-On | Anti-Inflammatory & Pain Relief
A much more affordable version of the Puresport roller if you are on a budget!
Deep Heat Roll On
Honestly who has 5 hands or pockets to carry their stuff? I will wear a vest no matter the distance of the run. Salomon is the best quality I’ve tried so far.
Hydration vests
My first running shoes! I got a gait test to ensure I was getting the correct shoes, turns out Hokas are the best for me as I have narrow feet and high arches.
Clifton Running Shoes
Electrolytes, electrolytes, electrolytes!
I struggle to drink water during or before a run so I always ensure I’m having electrolytes to make up for that. LMNT are very high quality and taste great.
Zero Sugar Electrolytes | Paleo-Keto Friendly Hydration
Good quality compression running socks are an absolute must!
They help prevent blisters (something which I often get, no matter the length of run)
Unisex Power Stride Tab Socks - Serene Blue/White/Blissful Pink - S
Running glasses are a must!
So handy not just for shielding your eyes from the sun but also keeping flies out your eyes and shielding yourself from unwanted eye contact with strangers lol

Strava
I cannot run in silence! Even music I do find quite boring, luckily Spotify audiobooks are included in my membership so I’m usually either knee deep in a book or listening to podcasts!
