Now that my two marathons of the year are completed and my quest for the 6 World Marathon Majors is a mission accomplished, I’ve been reflective. Reflective on the journey, the and downs, and what, if anything, I’d do differently. Today I’m sharing running gear and accessories that have gone the distance and really helped me along on this journey.
Running Gear That Goes the Distance
Spandits! at the London finish line for the win!
Spandits! Boardies. I’ve been a Spandits! Ambassador for years because I can’t get enough of the fun patterns and colors. Made by a small, women-owned company in Maine, the fit on all of their tights, shorts and skirts has always been perfect. No chafing anywhere ever! Remember SPANDITSLOVE saves you 10% off your first order. Tell them I sent you.
Lily Trotters Compression Socks. While I do not wear compression socks to run, I do wear them after long runs and on the plane over to London and Tokyo, because good circulation is super important to running and recovery. Not only are they cute, they aren’t so tight that I need to roll them down after a couple of hours. I’m able to wear them comfortably for the long haul.
Now Magnesium Topical Spray. I’ve sung the praises of this product before and I can’t go without mentioning it again. It’s that good. Marathon training is a long-term commitment and I rely on this product every step of the way. Whenever I feel post-workout muscle pain, strain or fatigue, I apply this spray to the site and massage it in. It’s especially convenient when a magnesium bath is not convenient. It helped keep me healthy through two marathons a month apart so it has to be good! Save $10 off your $40 purchase at Now Foods with MARCIANOW10.
Balega Silver Socks. I ran both the London Marathon and soaking-wet Tokyo in Silvers and my feet came away healthy and happy. I can’t say enough about the cushioning where you need it, perfect, non-slip fit and oh yes the fun colors. Because colors make me happy.
Cryofreeze CBD Pain Relief Roll On. This stuff is the bomb. I roll it on over achy, post-marathon muscles, ornery tendons, etc. Within 10 minutes I feel a soothing, ice-like sensation and pain relief. In addition to 150 mg CBD, Cryofreeze includes other healing botanicals including Menthol, Arnica, Aloe and Boswellia. Try it right now and save 20% with MEMORIAL19.
WIN IT!

What are your running go-tos? How will you enjoy the holiday weekend?
I’m linking up with Meranda and Lacey for the Friday Five.
My go to gear includes trucker hats (various brands), my gypsy runner shorts (love those huge pockets), and my pro compression sleeves. I need to try the lily trotters!
I was just looking at the CBD product yesterday!!
Skirt Sports skirts, Balega socks, and Boco Gear hats are my go-to favorites when I run!
My go-to running gear is New balance top, under armour leggings and Brooks sneakers!
I’d love to share this with a friend
My go-to, always and forever, is my Garmin. I love seeing how far I’ve run, even when it’s just a short distance…it makes me feel official if Garmin knows my mileage, LOL.
I would love to try that CBD product. There are so many forms of CBD out there right now-it’s hard to know what’s good and what isn’t. My go-to for running is always my SpiBelt. Sometimes I wear 2, just to carry all my stuff.
I always have my garmin fenix 5s, I am a Skirt Sports girl. I also love Crazy Compression socks.
I got some of that magnesium spray on your rec (last year?), and I like it, but need to remember to use it more often LOL My go-to is a pair of sunglasses, even on a cloudy day, to keep the wind out of my eyes.
Good pair of sneakers, leggings and top and tunes
Right now I’m loving fruit infuser water bottles! I feel like it helps me drink more than I normally would!
My go to right now are me Feetures socks! They have made such a difference!
As much as I dislike the brick-and-mortar store (I’ve had horrible customer service), some of my favorites are Roadrunner sports – shorts, socks and undies! I love LilyTrotters too.
Definitely my injinji socks!! Otherwise, I get horrible toe blisters! 🙁
In my workouts I always wear the compression socks: they work!!! Often I wear them during the races too.
Balega socks are my fave as well. I will have to try out those cute Spandit shorts!
Love Swiftwick socks!
I’m really enjoying your blog, it helps keep me motivated!
I really should try those Spandits. As I’ve gained a few pounds I realize I like that style of shorts ( paired with a longer tank of course)😉.
Our weekend will be low key. Going to my parents on Monday, but at least for once the weather might actually be nice!
Love my Balegas, too (although haven’t tried the silver ones). I do like to run in compression socks when it’s not to warm.My foam roller! Seriously, it makes a big difference for me.
That NOW Magnesium spray sounds awesome! Dove deodorant is my go to for chaffing protection! I use it under my sports bra, and on my feet. It works so well!

I have a few go to products – old navy active capris, pro compression socks and brooks moving comfort sports bra. These products last SO long and are very durable.
My ankle support for my right foot and CBD cream for insteps
CBD in a roll on sounds so useful! Great for sore muscles from ballet.
I just started using the koala clip for my phone and I love it. Also now that it’s summer here in Florida I’ve been loving the crop tank tops from lululemon and athleta.
My foot needs that roll-on stuff. My trip to Zooma depends on it! 😉
I don’t have a lot of go-tos, but I always take my Nathan hand held bottle with me. Now that it’s getting warmer I really need to get a visor and sunglasses. I’d love to try the magnesium spray and CBD roll on.
I like my good shoes.
my compression socks and shorts
I love my New Balance running shoes!
Leggings,tank top and running shoes.
