- Dyna Pro™ 10 Run Hydration Vest by Osprey — Just replaced my first Osprey Dyna with the new Dyna Pro 10. I love the fit and capabilities. I needed storage overall and a place for poles. Will say it runs very small. My old Dyna 6 was a Large and it was getting pretty big on me over the past year. (Had lost 40 pounds) so I bought the medium and it was too tight. Not like maybe too tight but DEFINITELY too tight. Exchanged for the Large and that fits me well.
- Tailwind Nutrition by Tailwind Nutrition — My absolute favorite fuel. I’ve tried so many gels and couldn’t find a texture I could use consistently. Enter Tailwind. I’ll use this exclusively on many runs and have no issues. Love the grape flavor!
- Ultra Glide 4 Trail-Running Shoes by REI — Previously had a different brand trail shoe but wasn’t really comfy. I wanted a shoe that reminded me of my road shoes, so I did the research for a plush (ish) feeling trail running shoe, and this was the best option. Can say these feel light and felt great in my 12 mile trail run. I did size up .5 size.
- Distance Carbon FLZ Trekking/Running Poles by Black Diamond — Light and easy to carry poles. (Not as light as the Carbon, but the difference wasn’t enough for me)
- Trail Max Cushion Mini Crew by Feetures — The best and most comfy running and hiking socks!
- OpenRun Pro 2 by Shokz — Worth the hype. Also much better than just the openruns. Great battery life and sound great. I do audiobooks and music and both sound great.
- Forerunner 970 Watch by Garmin — I have the 970 - but I’d reccomend the other Forerunner models too! I switched from an Apple Watch and haven’t looked back. The data and battery life are significantly better for something more fitness focused.
The 970 also allowed me to have maps right on my device.
- SoftFlask™ Speed 500ml 2-Pack by HydraPak
- Osprey Hydraulics LT Reservoir - 1.5 Liters by Osprey
