Friday Favorites - Running Edition

I personally prefer to run in the Spring and Fall months - before it gets too humid but you don't have to worry about layering up.  I usually try to complete one log run per week - usually 6 to 12 miles.  For my long runs, I have my "must haves" that come along with me!

Brooks Adrenaline Running Shoe

Runner's Hint: For those who run long distances, make SURE to buy your running shoes a half size larger than usual.  Your toes will thank you!

Under  Armor Draft Compression Capris

I prefer capri length pants most months of the year.  I tend to get too hot in full-length pants and shorts tend to ride up and make long runs uncomfortable.

Fuel Belt

For long runs, I always carry a fuel belt...winter, spring, summer, and fall!  It's so important to stay hydrated.  I've tried various belts and this one above is my favorite - it doesn't leak and it feels balanced while I run.  I love the pocket - perfect place for my key, cell phone, and sport beans (below).

Jelly Belly Sport Beans

I have tried gels, gums, goos.....however, these beans are my favorite.  They taste good and I find they really do give me the energy to get me through long runs. 

Reflective SpiBelt

I love this SpiBelt - I wear it around my waist and it provides more room to carry things and it is also reflective....great for long runs in the evening hours!



It's important to find out what works for you.  Make sure you try all these products before the big race day!
