Training for a marathon is a challenging task, but with the right products, it can become more manageable. Three Women's Health editors, including executive editor Abby Cuffey, associate health & fitness editor Addison Aloian, and health & fitness editorial assistant Olivia Luppino, are running the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon.
These editors have different preferences when it comes to running shoes, clothes, and gear, and are at various stages in their running journeys. However, they all agree that certain products have helped them run stronger, longer, and faster during training.

The editors have compiled a list of their top picks, which they claim have been essential in their training. This list is part of their 2025 (unofficial) Marathon Awards.
