A Runners Necessities 🏃🏾‍♀️💨

I’ve been running every Saturday and Sunday for weeks now. Not for anything in particular other than weight loss. When I was in University I ran often; on the treadmill, around my neighborhood, in parks. Running kept me in the best shape I was ever in so I’ve decided that, in addition to going to the gym, I would get back to doing something that I actually enjoyed.

I’m currently running for distance, not for speed. Eventually I’ll start trying to beat my mile times but stamina and endurance are my main focuses for now. If anyone has any tips, I’m all ears ♥️
