As you may already know, I rediscovered my love of running the beginning of this year and have embarked on the journey toward running my first marathon. Adding long distance runs to my routine has made me realize how important it is to have the right gear to get you to where you want to be. Having the right essentials in place will make the experience more enjoyable and prevent annoying problems like chafing.

Finding my running essentials has involved some trial and error for me, but I’ve finally found a few favorites. My Hoka One One x Outdoor Voices Clifton 4s have been a lifesaver when it comes to my long weekend runs. They provide the cushioning I need and I love the pink blush color! The Nathan SpeedDraw Plus is also another recent purchase that I plan to get plenty of use from. The bottle fits perfectly in my hand, so I don’t even think about it being there while I’m running. I also like that the pouch is the perfect size for my keys and nutrition.

 While I’d love to get into all the details about my favorite gear, I think it’s best for you to judge them for yourself. I invite you to browse through the above links if you’re thinking of upping your mileage and looking for recommendations. Let me know what you think, and if you have any personal fitness essentials you think I should check out!
