shoe rotation!
From daily trainers to racing shoes, these are the shoes I've been cycling through lately!
This is the most underrated shoe. People never talk about Mizuno but this is one of my all time favorite trainers!
Women's Wave Rider 29 Running Shoe
Everyone loves these for a reason. A very comfortable and cushioned everyday shoe.
Fresh Foam X 1080 Collection
Select colors currently on sale!!! My favorite workout flats! I use these on the track and roads, and could even wear them on the grass for cross country workouts. They're so light and they really propel you forward!
Nike Vaporfly 4 Women's Road Racing Shoes
Cushioned daily trainers. The foam is soft but responsive, this model is far better than the 17s.
Nike Vomero 18 Women's Road Running Shoes
Forever a fan of the pegs. Always a classic!
Nike Pegasus 41 Women's Road Running Shoes
I honestly prefer the vaporfly 4 over these but so many people love them & they've gotten me through some long workouts!
Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes
One of my favorite shoes over the last few years, the forward roll technology makes them feel a little faster than a normal daily trainer.
Cloudmonster 2: Women's Running Shoes. Big Energy Return
On shoes are so sleek and stylish.
On Women's Cloudmonster 2 White/Frost 8 Medium
These hold up for so many miles!!!
Women's On Cloudmonster 2 Running Shoes
The best recovery shoes. So easy to slip on after a run and comfy enough to wear all day long. I have the platform ones & I think they're pretty cute for a recovery sandal.
Women's Recovery Sandals
clothing!
My favorite functional and flattering running attire!
The best sports bras for storing gels & phone! They're cute and supportive and they hold quite a lot in the pockets.
Running Sports Bra With Pockets
My absolute fav running shorts- so comfortable & lots of pockets. I have them in several colors.
Vento™ & Litewave™ Shorts
This is such a cute and lighter support option for easy days or strength work.
Women's Wunder Train Sports Bras
My all-time favorite sports bra. I have so many different colors (probably at least 10) so I can wear them in the summer and have one tanline!
Nike Indy Women's Light-Support Padded V-Neck Sports Bra
These are a great short for hot days. Very breathable and so flattering!
Nike AeroSwift Women's Dri-FIT ADV Mid-Rise 3" Brief-Lined Running Shorts
I like these more than the aeroswift, they have a zip pocket in the back and have less of a split-leg.
Nike Swift Women's Dri-FIT Mid-Rise 2.5" Brief-Lined Running Shorts
Super cute and comfortable option if you're looking to make your running outfits a little more stylish.
Pace Crush High-Rise Short 2.5" | Women's Shorts
These are a great option if you need a slightly more supportive sports bra & they're also great as a race crop!

I've been wearing different versions of this long sleeve all winter! They're lightweight but still very warm and easy to layer with!

Tighter and more cropped version of my favorite long sleeve running top.

Another slightly different style of my favorite top! So many fun colors

This top is perfect for chillier days. It keeps you very warm and has thumb slits as well as an opening for your watch so you can keep you wrists and hands cozy!
Nike Swift Women's Dri-FIT UV Long-Sleeve Crew-Neck Running Top
accessories!
Some of these are running necessities (garmin, shokz, whoop, etc.) and the others are cute additions to make your running fits more stylish and fun!
I've had this watch for a few years, has just the right amount of bells and whistles.
Garmin Forerunner 265 GPS Smartwatch
Bluetooth music feature to use with your shokz!
Garmin Forerunner 265 Running Smartwatch
The best running headphones that allow you to hear your surroundings! I don't know how people are wearing headphones that block out all of the environmental noise. Good for paying attention to other runners, traffic, etc.
RUN PRO - 2 - Flagship Bone Conduction Headphones for Sports
I love this. Much more comfortable than a chest strap and more accurate than a wrist monitor.
COROS Heart Rate Monitor | Comfort and Accuracy in Every Workout
My whoop has been my favorite investment over the last year. Highly recommend if you're wanting to take a closer look into your health metrics of if you're looking to step up your training and recovery game!
WHOOP
My absolute favorite running socks. They're the perfect thickness and very durable.
Silver
Tried these for the first time this year & they lived up to the hype!
Women's Running Socks
My favorite running sunglasses. I have them in multiple colors and I wear them all the time! I think they look so fun and cool and they don't bounce!

I love using these scrunchies to add a little bit of flair to my ponytail. They are gentle on the hair and also hold very well!
Scrunchies
I love wearing these when it's a little colder outside and I feel like my ankles need some extra shelter from the elements
Balega Women's Silver Mini Crew Running Socks
supplements & fuel!
If you're trying to set a new personal best or even just trying to get through your runs without feeling depleted, you need to be making sure you stay fueled and hydrated!
One of the only gels that doesn't upset my stomach!
BARE PERFORMANCE NUTRITION BPN Go Gel Apple Cinnamon, 10 Packs
If you're a salty sweater (like I am), these are the best.
LMNT Zero Sugar Electrolytes Raspberry Salt 30ct
These hydration mixes are great for pre and post run, as well as intra-run fueling. There are different options depending on your hydration needs. Apple cider is my fav, especially in colder months.
Hydration Sport Drink Mix
I just recently added these to my hydration routine, but they are a great alternative to LMNT!
Electrolyte Drink Mix Variety Pack | Promix Nutrition®
These actually do help me sleep. Other melatonin gummies and sleep supplements haven't been helpful but these work!
Lemme Sleep Gummies 5mg Melatonin, 60ct
This tastes soo good like a little treat before bed. Sometime's I'll mix it with some hot cocoa for a lil salted caramel hot cocoa action
Sleeping Powder
My favorite running bottle. I love that it collapses as you drink from it so it doesn't slosh as much and it's not as heavy! Also has pockets for storing keys/gel/etc. and has an adjustable strap for your hand.
ExoShot 2.0 Handheld 14oz
I love the nathan handheld bottles, especially for long efforts or hot days when you want to make sure you have hydration available. This also has pockets for keys or gels!
Nathan Quick Squeeze Lite Handheld Bottle
snacks!
some of my go-to pre and post run snacks & protein bars
My favorite quick pre-run snack. I have one almost every morning and sometimes again for an afternoon pick-me-up. So many fun flavors and a good caffeine boost. Plus, they sit well in my stomach!
Verb Caffeinated Birthday Cake Energy Bars, 16 Pack
If I could recommend one snack to everyone, this would be it. I have had one every. single. morning for literally YEARS. They once discontinued this flavor for a little while and I promptly ordered several boxes to hold me over.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar
The BEST protein bar. They are more like a dessert than a protein bar and I love having one after dinner for a sweet treat. All of the flavors are sooooo good.
Shop BUILT Puff Bars | Protein Puffs
Literally so good. I look forward to every morning when I wake up and have one before my run.
Perfect Bar Salted Caramel Mini Bars - 6.3oz/6pk
These are addicting. I love all of the flavors and they are the perfect quick bite pre-run, post-run, as a snack, or even a sweet treat to end the day.
simplyFUEL Protein Balls Variety Pack, 9.6oz
prehab & strength work!
a few of my favorite items for keeping the body healthy & feeling good
The best resistance bands for prehab and strength work. They're super durable and I keep different bands in all of my running bags!
Perform Better Mini Band Resistance Loop
Most basic prehab tool. You don't need anything fancy or crazy expensive to keep yourself healthy!
Champion Sports Lacrosse Balls
An absolute must have! The best for getting those hard to reach knots in your neck and shoulders or for applying adequate pressure to different trigger points in your hips, back, etc.
