Summer is here, and with it comes the perfect weather for running. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting, having the right gear can make all the difference. This month, I’m excited to share my top five running essentials that have revolutionized my runs. Let’s dive in!
1. Nike Vaporflys
First on my list are the Nike Vaporflys. These shoes are a game-changer! With their ultra-lightweight design and responsive cushioning, they give you an incredible energy return with every step. I’ve been hitting new personal bests thanks to these shoes. They’re perfect for both long distances and speed work, making them a must-have for any serious runner. Trust me, once you try them, you’ll never want to run in anything else!
2. Running Buddy
I used to be a lone wolf when it came to running. I loved the solitude and the time to clear my mind. But recently, I started running with my boyfriend, and it’s been a total game-changer. We motivate each other, push our limits, and it’s so much fun sharing this experience. If you’ve always run alone, try inviting a friend or loved one to join you. You might find, like I did, that it becomes your new favorite way to run.
3. Lightning McQueen-Inspired Running Glasses
Next up are these awesome running glasses I found on Amazon. They make me feel like Lightning McQueen with their sleek design and vibrant colours. They provide excellent UV protection and stay put, even during the sweatiest runs. Not only do they keep my eyes safe from the sun, but they also add a cool factor to my running gear. Plus, feeling like a race car on your runs is a fun bonus!
4. The Skinny Confidential Solo Episodes
Music used to be my go-to for running, but lately, I’ve been hooked on The Skinny Confidential Solo Episodes podcast. Lauryn’s solo episodes are packed with valuable insights and entertaining stories. Whether she’s talking about health, wellness, or personal growth, she keeps me engaged and motivated. It’s like having a fun, knowledgeable friend with you on your runs. If you’re looking for something new to listen to, give this podcast a try!
5. Lululemon Hotty Hot High-Rise Lined Shorts 2.5″
Last but definitely not least are the Lululemon Hotty Hot High-Rise Lined Shorts 2.5″. These shorts are the epitome of comfort and style. The high-rise fit is flattering and keeps everything in place, while the lightweight, breathable fabric is perfect for hot summer days. They come in a variety of fun colors and patterns, making them a staple in my running wardrobe. Pair them with your favorite tank, and you’re good to go!
So there you have it, my top five running essentials for June! From the incredible Nike Vaporflys to the joy of running with a buddy, these items have transformed my running routine. The Lightning McQueen-inspired glasses, The Skinny Confidential podcast, and the Lululemon shorts add the perfect touch of style and comfort to every run. I hope you find these recommendations helpful and that they add a little extra spark to your runs this month.
