30 Day Challenge Gear Essentials:
Other than your desire to run more, run better, and the commitment to stick with us for 30 days, you won’t need much!
Still, here are some key pieces of equipment we have found make every runner’s experience that much better. You’ll see and hear us reference these essentials and fun toys so here is where you can find them for yourself.
Running Shoes:
Always best to work with a local running store to find your fit and feel!

Running Clothes:
Fancy and stylish? Or sweat wicking and light reflecting? Or better yet, your trusty cotton shirt and gym shorts? We’ve run in it all. Start with what you feel most comfortable and go from there!
Recomended Gear:
Metronome by Seiko for running pace & cadence practice. The BEST self-coaching tool around!
Foam Roller for mobility and recovery. We like the ones made here by Trigger Point, but any foam roller will do. Heck, even a rolling pin or wine bottle will work in a pinch!
Lacrosse ball or Tennis Ball for additional mobility exercises. Such simple but effective instruments for getting into body parts that foam rollers cannot!
Green Mobility “Monster” Band. We recommend choosing “#3 RF Green Band”. We’ll post additional videos but under bonuses we’ve showed our two FAVORITE hip stretches crucial for runners.
