Have you noticed more run clubs popping up in your city? Stay ready with these running essentials.
When they added pockets, game changer for my long-runs! I try to avoid belts and vests as much as possible when running, so these pockets paired with the comfortable pants are a must in my running gear.
lululemon Align™ High-Rise Pant with Pockets 25" | Women's Leggings/Tights
I'm chest heavy, (32DD) so I like the compression of these tops. I run and do Orangetheory classes in these.
lululemon Align™ Waist-Length Racerback Tank Top
I avoid running vest as much as I can, but sometimes those long, hot summer runs require extra fuel and hydration. This one works great and doesn't move around.
Salomon Unisex Running Vest
Ran all my half-marathons in these shoes. I have 3 pair! I also recommend getting your feet fitted at a local shoe store.
Endorphin Speed 4 – Women's Running Shoe
They are my favorite for running, but can be worn casually as well.
Goodr Sunglasses
Mango flavor all the way! I love the consistency of these, because I don't need to reach for water right after. And they taste pretty good! (HACK: Put them in the freezer the night before)
Huma Chia Energy Gel, Mangoes, 12 Gels
Strawberry Lemonade is my favorite flavor!
Electrolyte Tablets - Nuun
I need them cushiony to avoid chaffing! Juclise Coolmax Bamboo Viscose Compression Running No Show Sock Women, Moisture Wicking Cushion AntiBlister Athletic Ankle
Thick Running Socks
The only anti-chafing you'll ever need. Don't be fooled by the fancy rebrands :)
Vaseline
Roll out the glutes, quads and hammies before and after your run.
Chapped lips so far away from your car is the worst.
SPF 15 Moisturizing Lip Balm
I prefer Apple since it's cohesive with my phone and other workouts. Although other watches may be more accurate or better for running metrics, I PREFER apple as an all around fitness watch that's not ugly on the arm.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
I have a Garmin that I wear every now and then. It definitely takes your running stats to the next level!
Garmin Forerunner® 570 - 42mm
I'm in my 30s champ - sometimes I need a sleeve.
Knee Brace - Compression Sleeve - Unisex
The quads take a beating during your session. Slather this on before bed and listen to your partner tell you how good you smell.
Icy Hot Nighttime Recovery No-Mess Pain Relief
I've tried DOZENS of Sports Bras. As a DD girlie, I need something simple and supportive. Nike has never steered me wrong in this category. I'm 5'1, 120lbs, 32DD and usually purchase a size medium.
Nike Swoosh Medium Support Bra
Don't go too cheap on the running socks! They will wear down quickly. I've had the same 5-6 pair for years.
Low, Cushioned, Ventilated Running Socks
I like these for short, medium runs or a HIIT class. The thinner straps can cause chaffing so don't forget your vaseline on your shoulders.
Lululemon Energy Longline Bra Medium Support
If your thighs rub together, get the 8inch align shorts.
lululemon Align™ High-Rise Short 8"
I prefer to run in pants year-round, but these shorts are affordable and flowy.

Cold out? I love a long-sleeve ¼ zip with thumb holes :)

Great for beginners or you just want the basics.
Affordable Running Vest Unisex
Stays charged and in place my entire run!
Beats Powerbeats Wireless Headphones
I use this on my face and body!

I have a small head, so I like how this isn't bulking and fits just right.
Under Armour Hat Unisex, Adjustable
It's not often I run in the cold, but when I do, I need my gloves touchscreen proof to use my phone.
Running Gloves Touchscreen & Anti-Slip
I usually just reschedule my runs if it's raining, but this comes in handy if you must!
OutRun The Storm Women's Jacket | Under Armour
It hurts soooo good! Great for warm ups, cool downs, and recovery days. Worth the investment but a foam roller is just as effective.
