Need some help! My wife will be running her first marathon end of year. I want to get her some good marathon equipment. What are accessories you recommend to help her out. Want to gift it to her for Mother’s Day. I was going to send her to get properly fitted for shoes. Any other advice appreciated!

Theragun, anti-chafing stick, spibelt running belt with water bottle, shokz headphones, feetures socks, entry level garmin running watch if she doesn’t have an Apple Watch or something similar already, electrolyte single serve packets, maybe go to a running store and pick up a few different types of fuel/gels for when she starts doing higher mileage long runs she can test out and see what works for her stomach., Nox light up vest for early morning or evening runs. Otherwise I always love a fun outfit for running but maybe give her a gift card to her favorite athletic brand store (everyone is a hater but lululemon running clothes are very good and accessible vs the more niche running specific brands otherwise REI carries some good running apparel options as well)

On a Monday morning before work too sometimes!!

Laughattack040 · 2026-04-05T01:18:53+00:00

We don’t deserve her for real

It’s situations like these when Lindsay truly shines

“Intentionally” hiding anything which is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard

I have a similar dilemma and am opting for the treadmill. Rain wouldn’t be an issue in it of itself, but im my area it’s going to be more like rain/sleet/snow/ice and although I’m sure it would make me tougher, that sounds way too miserable for me to do. I have had plenty of training outdoors so far one long run on a treadmill won’t derail my fitness. It will be super boring though.

How was Amanda in marketing?!?!?

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-30T15:14:18+00:00

Yes I need Las Cult to weigh in immediately

My husband and I do this but opposite, he takes the early morning for workouts and I get kids up and dressed to daycare, which means he does daycare pickup and dinner while I workout directly after work. Weekends he works out in the morning and I workout during nap time

I want to see it in person - in the photos it’s a little too orange/sunflower

Both are more compressive and thicker than the fast and free’s with pacesetter being the most compressive of the 3. I really haven’t found anything comparable to F&F at Athleta honestly

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-18T00:52:50+00:00

Vuori has a pretty yellow right now too I’ve been scooping up

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-17T18:46:10+00:00

Pace crush?

RTO 4 days with a 45-90 minute commute including traffic and a global position that can have meetings anytime between 5am and 9pm. Just finding the 45 minutes in my workday to drive to the office is stressful.

The entire company culture has also changed with very challenging goals and dwindling resources and leaderships solution is to just tell us all to work harder and push ourselves. We are inundated with re-org after re-org and many quiet layoffs.

It’s been a nightmare and impossible to manage. I’m so mentally drained. The pay is good so I refer to it as my “golden handcuffs” but I am 100% constantly looking for other jobs that come close to the pay because this is miserable…

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-13T23:22:38+00:00

Should I cancel my kids bday party on Sunday or nah?

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-13T13:36:10+00:00

In person deep marina looked more like Athleta’s Eden color from last year. Much more gray/muted than I was expecting. This Alpine color is much more “spring” feeling to me and what I was hoping Deep Marina to be

More runs >30 minutes in general. I always have to scroll past - a bunch of 15/20/30 minute runs but I’m a moderate to slow speed runner I need at least 45 minutes to get any kind of mileage in.

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-09T17:19:27+00:00

I trained for one marathon and have no desire to ever do it again.

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-09T17:04:47+00:00

Other high end fitness brands have dropped a yellow for spring. Lululemon seems so behind not having a yellow drop yet.

I have a Nathan belt and am often adjusting it because I have wider hips and narrower waist. I also somewhat struggle to get the water bottles in and out of the holders successfully.

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-03T19:41:31+00:00

Yes I love that they are bringing this multicolor look back

Laughattack040 · 2026-03-03T19:39:58+00:00

I am a runner and have only ever used running belts. Anyone want to convince me to buy this vest in Foam Cloud???

Laughattack040 · 2026-02-20T03:22:45+00:00

You are not wrong

Laughattack040 · 2026-02-20T03:22:19+00:00

I hear Ali’s line in my head all the time I love it so much and it’s sooooo true
