Love running? Us too. Here is some of our fav running gear for recreational and ultra-marathon races

<p>I currently still have the Timp 4 which I love.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For long-distance running this is my favorite shoe:&nbsp; lightweight, wide toe box, great traction for trails/snow, breathable,&nbsp; zero drop, but it still has enough cushion so your feet arn't totally destroyed after a 50-mile ultra marathon.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The one downside I dislike about the Timp 4 is the lip which is sharp and tends to dig into your ankle if you haven't built up a callous. Timp 5 fixed this issue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was so excited when I found this because I love everything about my minimal shoes EXCEPT for the fact that they aren't grounded. This solves the problem!&nbsp; :)&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Nate's Thoughts: </strong><br />"Earthing or Grounding is such an important (and Free) bio-hack to decrease inflammation (in addition to a ton of other health benefits.) The problem is in our society we have to wear shoes quite a bit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is why I love having Earthrunners for when I have to wear a sandal. I get the protection of a shoe, but the health benefits of grounding in addition to being in a minimalistic sandal that encourages strength and movement in the foot."</p>

<p>Let me ask you a question: Do your feet feel better at the end of the day than they did at the beginning?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If not, it&rsquo;s because your shoes aren&rsquo;t letting your feet do what&rsquo;s NATURAL.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One quarter of the bones and joints in your entire body are in your feet. You have more nerve endings in your soles than anywhere but your fingertips and lips.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This means your feet are meant to bend, to move, to flex, and feel the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Comfort and performance come from letting your feet do what they&rsquo;re meant to do, naturally.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Xero Shoes let them do that with what we call &ldquo;3 Pillars of Natural&rdquo;:</p>
<ul>
<li>Natural FIT &mdash; wide toe boxes let your toes spread and relax. A non-elevated (zero-drop) heel for proper posture.</li>
<li>Natural MOTION &mdash; super flexible to let your feet bend and move naturally. Low-to-the-ground for balance and agility.</li>
<li>Natural FEEL &mdash; the patented FeelTrue&reg; soles give you just-right protection while still giving the ground feedback your brain needs for efficient, natural movement.</li>
</ul>
<p>Plus they&rsquo;re affordable, and so durable that they have a 5,000 mile sole warranty.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Nate&rsquo;s Thoughts: </strong>As a chiropractor and nutritionist, quality is of the utmost importance to me. It is very difficult finding an energy gel that is made with real food and doesn&rsquo;t contain artificial colors, artificial flavors, and other junk. So far this is the best I have found with clean ingredients, good flavors, and a high-calorie count. The consistency is that of apple sauce which is nice when on the run.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>During a long-distance run, you have to get your calories in period. If you don&rsquo;t, you will lose energy quickly and won&rsquo;t be able to finish. Spring Nutrition Energy gels are a lifesaver. Each packet has a high amount of calories packed in a small pack that tastes great. They have several different flavors. I recommend taking a few different flavors on your run to keep things interesting. Nothing worse than needing the calories but feeling like you can&rsquo;t take another bite because the flavor will make you gag. Awesome Sauce is my favorite but the other flavors are good too.&nbsp; During racing,&nbsp; typically I try to consume 3 packets/10 miles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I have the Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire. When I'm ready to upgrade this is what I want because of the solar charging. Garmin is top-of-the-line when it comes to running watches and I am extremely happy with mine.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Don&rsquo;t do an Ultra Marathon without these. </strong><strong>These poles are lifesavers! </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>My first 50-mile ultra marathon had a grueling 12,000 feet of elevation gain, meaning there were points when racing I felt like I was going straight up and straight down. These poles are ultra light (important for long runs. You don&rsquo;t want to be caring any more weight than needed); strong (I can put my full weight to pull me up and down hills); and compact (they fold up easily). </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>During this 50-mile race I ran with them in my hands the whole time with no problem, but I could have easily folded them up into my vest if needed.&nbsp; Having good poles can help you stabilize and pull yourself up a hill or slow you down descending a steep hill. They helped prevent me from knee and ankle injuries multiple times.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>When training I got an inexpensive &ldquo;light&rdquo; pair of poles on Amazon. This was a huge mistake and a waste of money. Invest in a quality light pair. You will not regret it.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>The goal in a long run (26+ miles) is you want to carry as little extra weight as possible. I have been extremely happy with the Ultraspire running vest for several reasons:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Light and breathable. It fits well and doesn&rsquo;t feel like you are wearing a bulky vest.</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Water carrying capability (4 water pouch areas). Initially, I was concerned about the water in the back bouncing and hitting my back. When you get the right vest fit, it doesn&rsquo;t rub the back or create bruising.&nbsp; During the race, I kept water in the front right and back right pouches and nutrition/electrolytes in the left two pouches. Make sure to get Ultraspire SoftFlask Hydration with the straw for the front two pockets. This makes it easy to run and drink at the same time.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Storage:&nbsp; It doesn&rsquo;t look like it but there is a lot of storage space for long-distance runs. There is a large back pouch for bandages/KT tape, extra nutrition, an emergency blanket, etc. The front right has a small pouch for salt and Chapstick. The front left has a pocket for your phone and the sides have room where I put Spring Nutrition packets.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Dr. Nate&rsquo;s Thoughts: Fits great in the back of the Ultraspire vest on both sides.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>As a chiropractor, I know the extreme importance of good shoes. If your feet are off, it throws off your whole gait (how you walk) which leads to back, feet, and knee issues.&nbsp; I started running with a nice pair of Nike shoes but when I entered the Ultra Marathon running I knew I needed to step it up.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>ALTRA Lone Peak is it. Wide toe box which doesn&rsquo;t compress your feet. This means better balance and it is not altering how you run like 90% of shoes out there. I have no break-in period with these and have run hundreds of miles in mine.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>During my first 50-mile Ultra Marathon, I ran them through snow, ice, streams, and unstable rocks and they did fantastically. </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Highly recommend.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Tired of trail running and having to take off your shoe every 5 min because a rock or pine needle starts poking the bottom of your foot? Me too, that&rsquo;s why I got ALTRA trail Gaiter which keeps the rocks out while you run. I thought they were a joke till I started trail running. These are designed to attach to your ALTRA shoes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr. Nate's Thoughts: If you are trail running, these are a must. Nothing worse than having to take off your shoes every 5 min to get a rock or something poking your foot out of the shoe. The Trail Gaiter protects you from that.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you wear ALTRA shoes (my fav running shoe), they incorporate easily.&nbsp; One of the reasons ALTRA is my favorite running shoe is because of its wide-toe box.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Nate&rsquo;s Thoughts: I know what you are thinking, why buy 1 pair of socks when you can get a bundle at Costco for the same price? Two words: Blisters &amp; Quality.&nbsp; Blisters are the bane of a runner's existence and the longer you can keep them at bay the better. </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>When I first started Ultramarathon Running, my experienced running friend said to invest in these socks. Since using them he has not gotten any blisters and 1 pair has lasted him 4+ years.&nbsp; The <span class="a-list-item">Management Fiber Dynamix keeps your feet cool and dry and has ventilation panels &amp; Reduce Friction with hand-linked, seamless, reinforced toe which helps minimize the risk of blisters.&nbsp;</span></strong></p>

<h5 class="a-size-base-plus a-text-bold">Dr. Nate's Thoughts: Most shoes compress the toes together which can alter your gait/running form and decrease your balance with running. This is a relatively easy product to use to help promote toe separation.&nbsp;</h5>
