Anyone can be a runner. Although no fancy gear is needed, you can improve your speed, endurance, and comfort by investing in some running essentials.
If you ask in a FB group “what shoes should I wear while running”, almost no one suggests Mizuno. But yall… mizuno are amazing. I don’t think they’re for everyone; but they’re definitely great. I have gone through three pairs now!

I live, love, run with this double bottle belt. I fill one with water, and the other bottle with pickle juice (for electrolytes).
Running Hydration Belts
Absolutely non-negotiable when it comes to running. These chews give energy without a mouthful. They are easy to pace throughout the run. The texture is my favorite; though the flavor is great too.

This anti-chafe balm is so smooth. I use it on my thighs when wearing shorts, so my legs don’t rub themselves raw as I run.

Nuun tabs are very convenient for long runs. They are lightweight and easy to add to water (they can be broken in half if need be).

Features socks are thin, breathable, and keep your feet cool when you run. This helps prevent slipping and blisters.
Feetures
Balega socks are so comfortable; and they do not give blisters. There are also an apartment of lengths, which is nice.

Sorry not sorry- this will totally hurt the first time you use it. The more you soften the tendons, the less it will hurt. These are amazing for preventing plantar fasicitis.
