Well, ones I like
September 3, 2019
If you’re like me, you have your favorite running essentials for training. Whether it’s our shoes or our chews, there are things that we love to have with us. Like a safety blanket, running essentials help make our training runs feel secure, especially on those long runs. So, here are a few of my favorite things! And, yes, the song from the Sound of Music rang through my head!
- Headphones and Podcasts – Right now, I’m using Plantronics Backbeat Fit headphones. They allow me to hear ambient noise while still wearing both earpieces. And podcast, oh podcasts! How I love thee! I have a list of my new loves on my website but I have linked them here for you!
- Nuun – I have a couple of favorite flavors. Tri-Berry and Blackberry Citrus. I’m not a big fan of sports drinks so this is a great way to get my electrolytes in whether I’m using it during a run or after.
- Honey Stinger – Cherry cola chews are my new go to! These are easy to chew while running and great taste! I like the Strawberry ones too!
- SaltStick Fast Chews – Do you sweat a lot like me? Get muscle cramps? These help a lot in the hot humid months! Just a tab or two and it’ll help restore your electrolytes and sodium in your system. Tart Orange is the best!
- RX Bars – Delicious and ingredients that I can read! My favorites are Chocolate Sea Salt and Maple Sea Salt. Great for after a run and sometimes I eat them for lunch with some apples!
- KT Tape – Get shin splints, have ankle or knee pain? This stuff is amazing! Not sure how to use KT Tape and that’s why you haven’t gotten it? No need to worry. They have a whole YouTube channel for that! As training gets longer, even with rolling, I use my KT Tape for my shins. LOVE!
- Amphipod – I love this handheld water bottle. It fits my hand just right. Holds 16 oz of water and is just enough for my mid-length runs. They have a wide variety of bottles and hydration items. Really all kinds of things for your running adventures!
- Sparkle Athletic visors – These are my go to visors! They are made by Headsweats and blinged out by Sparkle Athletic. I’m going to have to branch out soon and get some hats from Headsweats since I like the visor bands so much!
- SparkleSkirts – The think I can’t live without on runs outside! I gotta have my pockets! 3 pockets in these skirts!!! OMG! I can’t even express how much I love these skirts! They are so comfortable and holds everything. Phone, inhaler, fuel, whatever you might need!
- Road iD – Last but not least, safety! I have one on my Apple Watch and my Garmin. These are wonderful. You can have your id on you without having to carry it! They even have jingle proof tags for your puppies! Go to this link http://roadid.me/nBvur to get $5 off your first order.
So now that you know some of my favorite things, what are some of yours?
Leave me a comment and let me know! I could be missing out on something amazing!
So until next time, keep on truckin’!
