This is the time of year when there seems to be a 5k, 10k
half marathon or marathon every weekend! While I am “blessed” to have experienced
all those wonderful races, it’s the training that consumes most of the time. As
a result of my countless training hours, I have come across a few products that
have made my journey a little more enjoyable … ok, enjoyable may be stretching
it …
Without music, I would certainly struggle on those long
runs. The New Balance Workout Arm Band holds my phone secure so I can jam out
to my Florida Georgia Line – a welcome distraction when I want to quit.
Most days my run is either at 5 am or 9 pm … either way, it’s
pitch dark. Using a Reflective Running Band allows me to safely run at those
crazy hours … just me, the foxes and the bats …
Another thing I found helpful was having an Exercise Tracker
to keep me on goal with my daily runs/workouts. Some of these races took months
to train for, so it was important to make sure I was increasing my distance
every week.
One of my biggest challenges was making sure I drank enough
water after some of my longer runs. Quite honestly, water is boring, so when I
found a tumbler with an infuser, I had a much easier time re-hydrating. Just add
your favorite fruit!
