Give it a TRI: Meet my New Running Buddy {Giveaway}

Nothing fuels my run more than having a buddy by my side.

 

There’s my friend Ashli, who ran the 4^th Fest 5k with me. Together we met our goal of getting the WORST PR ever. There were baby strollers and talking involved so that might explain it.

 

 

Then there’s “the B%#ch” who I tolerate only because I just can’t seem to shake her. I hate how she’s always faster than I am, and often disappears without warning.

 

However, neither one of these buddies offer to carry my running paraphernalia – you know the phone, keys, iPod and gels – the necessities.

 

How rude right?

 

Well, I just found a buddy that can carry all that and is super cute too.

 

Meet The Running Buddy.

 

 

Before I met my buddy, I used an arm band, which caused chaffing and never seemed to stay put. Then I started using a running belt with a pouch, but it would bounce and then slip down around my behind while I was running.

 

I spent more time adjusting and fixing than I did running NOT cool.

 

So when I heard about The Running Buddy I was hopeful.

 

Designed by runner and triathlete Julie Bradfield The Running Buddy is a lightweight, comfortable pouch that attaches to your clothing with magnets.

 

When I received my Running Buddy, I put it through paces, and I really like it.

 

You barely know it’s attached to your clothing. In fact I almost threw it in the laundry with my iPod in it before I realized it was still attached to my pants.

 

However, I don’t just wear it for running. I wear it for everything gym related, especially spinning. If you are a spin instructor READ THIS, The Running Buddy is THE BEST for spin class. I attach it the back of bike shorts, plug in my headphones and roll. There’s no chaffing or anything. I even wear it when I’m lifting weights and I always place it in the small of my back, it’s less intrusive than the hip or front and there’s less movement back there … if you know what I mean.

 

It’s designed to be worn on any waist band. However, make sure your pants aren’t too big, because The Running Buddy can cause a wardrobe malfunction. My solution to this problem is to find somewhere else to stick it.

 

Good thing I’m small chested. In fact, I liked this placement the best when I was running because my iPod and supplies were easily accessible.

 

Overall, if you are a runner or fitness junkie like me you need to meet The Running Buddy.

 

It’s time to spend more time running and less time adjusting.
