My 15 Essentials for Trail Running

What did I not list or forgot, there are a lot of things! My rain jacket is one!

Great stuff! I love my Ultimate Direction vest. I got it on clearance for $65 when I started training long. I've worn it for every trail run over 45 minutes, because it's so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it, and it's an easy way to carry phone/keys/knife/tp, even if you don't need fuel. It's honestly the first piece of equipment I consider "must have" after basic clothing. Are you going to be doing a video on 2024 goals? Can't wait to see what you tackle this year!

Agree the vest is super useful!! Goals video…maybe…I will probably put something together😬

Great info, John! Looking foreward to more gear reviews especially vests and hydration options. I have been using both bottles and bladder type hydration and would like to explore other options that seem to work well with others.

It’s amazing how many different types of hydration systems I see out there. I definitely want to try the soft flasks that have the extended tube that reaches to your mouth so you don’t have to take the bottles out to drink them.
