When I first started running, all I knew was nothing! I didn’t know how to train for the half marathon I was running in a few months. I didn’t know what to eat, what to wear, how to get into other races, etc. My hope is to put some of these resources at your fingertips to make your entry into running easier.

Hydration during training and races is essential.

Excellent gel supplement to take while running.
LMNT Electrolyte Powder
Mix in with water to restore electrolytes pre, during and post-race. My favorite.

Great alternative to powders. Easy to store and eat while running.
Axen Hydration Flask
Carry a good-sized flask with you that you can easily refill during runs.

Running Gear:
These are the essential items you need to get started. I didn’t realize I needed these items until I needed them.
Lisen Power Bank
When you go on long runs, your devices get drained. Light and portable to recharge everything.

Some find it easier to carry their hydration to keep their hands free. This is a good vest for that.
Zacro Reflective Vest
Be safe running at night with a vest that is reflective and lights the way.
Reflective Wrist Band
A smaller profile, while still giving you the light and reflection you need.
