With all the washing and wearing they have held up great! I do have a long pair as well but since we are not up north in PA right now, I haven’t worn them in a few months. I have several pairs of running capris but only one pair of this style, I wear them 4 times a week and promptly wash them when I get home because they are the only ones I want to run in anymore. Seriously, if you had not seen me running you would have thought I went swimming. They stay up on my waist, they are just the right amount of compression and they keep me cool even though I have been training in Florida and in Puerto Rico this summer with ridiculous humidity levels. Running became so much more fun when I was not fighting my clothes at every turn. No matter the brand/size/style they ride up and I spend my run tugging and pulling them back into submission. I am one of those people who cannot run in shorts. One – these Under Amour compression running tights are my favorite hands down. One | two | three | four | five | six | seven Since I am not a professional runner there has been a big learning curve for me in all of this but I figured that I would share a few of the running accessories that have made training for my first half marathon a little easier. Last week was 9 miles and this weekend we are running 10! Our plan was put together by the official trainer of the Boston Marathon! It is a 16 week plan and has been the perfect pace for us.Īt this point in our training we are running 4-6 miles 3 days a week and we have a long run on the weekend. It is super easy and has taken the question out of the training. Tavis and I already had the run keeper app on our phones so we were able to choose a training plan in the app. But this is a BIG deal for me and I am slightly proud that I have made it this far so the picture are not going to stop any time soon. We officially started training in mid July and if you follow us on Instagram you are probably sick of seeing my post run, sweating my butt off pictures. Since we had a few months before the real training began we were able to slowly add miles each week. But for this girl who, at the time, was struggling to run one and a half miles….

Tavis and I signed up to run a half marathon!!įor some, that might not be a big deal. I am not entirely sure why but it probably had to do with not wanting anyone to hold me accountable if I gave up and quit. So I have been reluctant to write this post… maybe even scared.
