Have you ever wondered about the equipment and products pro athletes swear by to help them train at their best and get through their days? We definitely have! In an interview in partnership with Dr. Scholl's, Allyson Felix shared what her Tokyo training routine looks like and how her relationship with her body has changed over the years.
Now she's giving us a sneak peek into her workout bag, sharing her must-have training equipment and some of her go-to products that she never leaves the house without. Check out the Olympian-approved products ahead!
If Felix loves the Athleta Legend Mesh 7/8 Tight ($90), we know it's got to be good. These tights were designed for medium- to high-impact workouts, are made with recycled nylon, and provide supportive compression.
It can be hard to find a pair of quality headphones that stay in your ears while you work out, but Felix recommends the Bose Sport Earbuds ($159).
The Athleta Women's Activate Face Mask ($21 for a pack of two) have Felix's stamp of approval for training. The masks are made with performance-driven fabric, are breathable, and are designed for physical activity.
As an athlete, hydration is important, which is why Felix always has a water bottle on her. We're loving the reusable Nalgene Tritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle ($10).
Another must-have product for Felix is the Dr. Scholl's Performance Sized to Fit Running Insoles ($40). These inserts are pre-sized to fit your shoe and can help you prevent injury!
Warming up and cooling down are imperative to preventing injury and getting the most out of training sessions. Foam rolling is a great way to prep your muscles before a session and to alleviate any tightness you may be experiencing postworkout. Felix said she always has a foam roller with her, and we recommend the ProsourceFit High Density Foam Roller ($12).
Stay smelling fresh with the Secret Outlast Dry Spray Antiperspirant Deodorant ($6).
The Honest Company Hand Sanitizer Spray ($3) is perfect for cleaning your hands before and after training and when you're on the go.
As a runner, Felix spends a lot of time training outdoors, and it's imperative that she takes care of her skin. One way she cares for her skin is by using the Olay Regenerist Regenerating Face Lotion With Sunscreen ($17).
