Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting, having the right gear can make all the difference.
Here are my must-have running essentials:
Comfortable Running Shoes 👟 The foundation of any great run! I always make sure to pick a pair that provides support and cushioning for long-distance comfort and rotate between two styles.
Moisture-Wicking Clothes 👚 Staying dry is key, especially on hot or humid days. Look for fabrics that pull sweat away from your skin and keep you cool. I prefer to run in shorts for all seasons!
Hydration Gear 💧 Water is crucial! I always carry a water bottle or wear a hydration pack, that is for both long runs AND short runs. No shame in the water game..
Running Watch/Tracker ⏱️ Tracking your distance, time, and pace helps me stay on track and reach my goals. I was very retro until 2024 and fell in love with my watch for metrics.
Headphones (Optional) 🎧 For those who love a good playlist or podcast, a set of wireless headphones is a game-changer - Shokz is my go to!
Sunglasses & Hats 🌞 Protect your skin from UV rays and keep your face shaded for those long outdoor runs.
