Articles of clothing I have personally tested and swear by!
ATTENTION BIG BUSTED FRIENDS: This is the BEST sports bra in all the land! Not only is so supportive, it’s also comfortable enough to wear all day and not miserable to wear. I honestly don’t know what wizardry CRZ Yoga found. My favorite features are...
CRZ YOGA Womens Zip Front High Impact Sports Bra
Best running shorts ever! 1) Non-slip silicone strip to keep the shorts from riding up! Pure brilliance! 2) Drawstring waist because I don’t want to have to keep hiking them up. 3) Dark color so I don’t look like I peed myself when I sweat down there...

The ONLY socks I'll run in! The wrong socks can break a good run. Feetures will never let you down.
Feetures Elite Light Cushion No Show Tab
Now, sneakers won’t be a one-size-fits-all. We all have different needs for our feet, but Cloudmonster is my all-time favorite running shoe and what I will be wearing during my next marathon. I wore Brooks Ghost during my last one and they really wer...

Recommendations for mid-run support!
I’m tempted to wrap myself like a mummy in this tape before my next marathon lol, it’s a godsend. I’m a fan of the Pro Extreme particularly because of the water-resistant adhesive.

A spray sunscreen is a must for me on long runs. Why? Because you’ll want to reapply and you won’t want to stop long enough to rub in a cream. I’ve tried about every spray on the market, and this one checks all of my boxes the closest (a smell that d...

Fuel
My favorite thing to take on long runs. They easily fit into a side pocket of my shorts and the fruit smoothie flavor is pretty yummy! The gels can get warm close to your body and are quite yucky, but the gummies stay the expected consistency.
Honey Stinger Organic Gluten-Free Energy Chew, Fruit Smoothie, 1.1 oz, 1 Count
Electrolytes will be a must! I’m a fan of liquid iv and especially the sugar-free flavors.
Liquid I.V.® Rainbow Sherbet Sugar-Free Hydration Multiplier® Powdered Electrolyte Drink Mix, 6 Count Packets
Recovery
Items that I’ve found are such a gamechanger when it comes to recovery. I strongly believe that recovery can be as important during training as the running itself!
Buy this in bulk! The roll-on form is perfect for your feet. The spray is a close second, but it can still be a little messy. Also great for sore muscles in legs and other body parts.
Biofreeze Pain Relief Roll-On, Back Knee Muscle Joint Arthritis Pain Relievers, Menthol, 2.5 oz
These are a godsend for your feet after a long run! I highly recommend investing in a pair.

A massage gun is essential to my recovery. And this one is a great price!
