When it comes to footwear, your best bet is to go to a local running store and get properly fitted; the pros at places like Fleet Feet or Road Runner Sports will measure your foot and watch your gait to see what kind of stability and support you'll need.
When longer distances are at play-think a half or full marathon-you really want to think through what is essential to carry. It might seem nice to have a fanny pack filled with in-case-of-emergency items, but a few miles in, you might start feeling that extra weight.
Comfortable socks are another must for helping to avoid blisters; don't wait till race day to find a pair you love. Performance brands like Tracksmith, Smartwool, Hoka, and Sheec all make ones we love with features like compressive, sweat-wicking materials and cushioning at the heel.
If you do want a bag to hold fuel or small essentials like an earbud case, consider the adjustable belt bags Spurrell likes from Lululemon or Free People. Nathan's stretchy, lightweight bib belt is also a great option for managing bibs during races.
