25-50km Trail Races

Robyn Lesh's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu

Products in this list

AONIJIE 4L Mont Blanc Series Trail Running Pack -MB4L by AONIJIE — Light, comfortable, cheap. Well designed pockets. Does all the little things right! (Note, you might need to reinforce some stitching in the first few months of use, but once this is done the pack is fire)
Anti-friction cream by Sidas — This cream is AMAZING. I put it on the night before racing and again the morning of and is the best preventative blister care I've ever found. 🎉
SiS BETA Fuel Gel - Neutral by SiS — 15% off: ROBYNRUNS 40g carb in a small volume. The Neutral flavor has not much/no taste (which I prefer). I empty these into the hydrapac nutrition flasks and the combo makes nutrition SO much easier to get down.
COROS APEX 2 Pro by COROS — I've been using my Apex 2 since early 2023. Still going strong!
COROS Heart Rate Monitor by COROS — SO comefy and effective. I got my coros arm band when I wanted a backup for my chest strap monitor. (like three years ago) And I never went back. Slight (~1sec) delay from chest strap (because the arm band is optical vs. detecting the heart's electrical activity) but the numbers line up and the arm band is so so much more comfortable that the slight delay is absolutely worth it.
Trail running socks - Trail Ultra by Sidas — These socks specifically. Thin, light, grippy, cooling (cooling darts on the top of foot). A little bit of ankle protection while still being awesome thin summer socks around the foot. 10/10!
AONIJIE Running Hydration Belt by AONIJIE — Super light, simple, cheap running belt. Holds a 500ml flask, phone & nutrition. Racing and training ✅
Soft Flask W-MX 500 mL by Black Diamond — Wide mouthed. Simple flasks. Easy to use lids.
Precision Fuel - Carb Only Drink Mix - 30 Serving by Precision Fuel — I use the carb only drink mix because I am a low salt sweater and prefer to get my salt elsewhere. Precision drink mix has a very light taste and isn't too sweet. A really nice simple product. I mix at 30g/bottle to supplement my gels.
Shokz OpenRun Mini Headphones Black by Shokz — The Minis are awesome. So much better than the regular size in any other brands of bone conducting headphones. Like actually. I had no idea they'd make such a difference. Don't get stuck on my hair, don't bounce. I got converted!..
