The Boston Marathon Was My First Race — These Training Essentials Made All the Difference

Gorgie Sugar Free Natural Energy Drinks ($19, originally $24)

Listen, there were plenty of days training for the marathon that I absolutely did not want to do. Training in Boston isn't exactly ideal weather-wise (snow and wind . . . I'm looking at you). One thing that pushed me through was energy drinks, and I like this brand because it's formulated with more natural ingredients than other brands out there. It uses green tea caffeine that naturally wakes you up and gets you motivated. One of these and I'm ready to rock and roll all day without the crash. Not to mention, Alix Earle used them for Dancing With the Stars, so if you don't trust me, at the very least, trust her.
