I’ve been running for 10 years — 12 pieces of gear I’d buy over and over again

I first started to run regularly in 2015, jumping in at the deep end by training for the Barcelona Marathon. Since then, I’ve been hooked on the sport, and I’ve run 14 more marathons, started training with a coach, and more or less made it my entire personality.

I now run around 70-80 miles a week, and I’ve tested a lot of different running apparel and accessories in the last decade, most of which have been fine, but some of which have been truly special, to the point where I’ve used them weekly or even daily for years.

That includes items of clothing that have been with me the entirety of my running journey, like Stance’s Run Light Crew socks, and accessories I find vital, like my beloved Buff Neck Gaiter and SPIbelt Running Belt.

Some nutrition products have become staples for me, like Maurten’s Drink Mix 320 — it’s expensive, but it’s the best source of carbohydrates I’ve found for hard workouts and races, and I’ve carried my own pre-mixed Maurten drinks in my last 10 marathons while dragging my PR down to 2:25.

I’ve selected 12 of my all-time favorites below, including running accessories, items of apparel, tech and nutrition products. Hopefully, you find something you love just as much as I do.
