Products in this list
- Alpha 6.0 Race Vest by UltrAspire — Best EVERY day vest! I use this for literally all my weekday runs, and long runs if training for 100M and under. Fits like a glove, and holds all my gear perfectly!
- Women's Escalante 5 by Altra — Great lightweight everyday trainer. Feels like you are floating! I wear a 10.5 in running shoes and fit is perfect! I also love to exchange the laces for these:

Stretch Laces - fix your laces once!
- Women's Olympus 275 HiLo by Altra — My go-to trail shoe! Durable, high cushion, super grippy, has carried me for 1000s of miles! Love the roomy toe box and built in gaiter in the back! I wear a size 10 in this model, normally I'm a 10.5.
- ULTRATRAIL FX.ONE by Leki — Best lightweight trekking pole out there! Easy to grip thanks to the trigger shark frame strap. Literally a life saver on technical terrain!
- COROS APEX 2 Pro by COROS — Best Watch, hands down! Switch to COROS and you will never go back! Durable, incredible battery life, easy to use, great design, I could go on forever.
The ONLY watch I use!
- 35 Carryall Tote Bag by Yeti — My everything bag. It carries all my gear to and from the gym and back and forth from the trails.
Fits a ton, and you can rinse it out if it every gets dirty!
A multitasking favorite!
- Outdoor Midweight Crew Wool by Injinji — My fav sock hands down, I am blister prone, and my feet sweat a lot, these merino socks are just the right level of cushion and wick moisture well.
- Lemon Lime Skratch Hydration Sport Drink Mix by Skratch Labs — The electrolyte mix I've used for years! The lemon/lime flavor tastes like a subtle lemonade. Can drink it for hours (or days!).
