I’m often asked to recommend products so it made sense to add a resources section. From my days owning an outdoor store, I got a good idea of which brands and gear really worked, standing up to the rigors of training. These are my suggestions for women’s outdoor clothing and footwear. My picks for squeezing, running, hiking and yoga into your busy lives.
