This is the kit I run in and rely on, race after race. If I don't rate it, it's not on this page. A few of these brands sorted me a discount code to pass on to you.

ClothingHigh quality, performance-driven running clothing that is built for the trials & mountains that I wear on all my runs.

WatchesThe Suunto Vertical 2 is my main running watch. It's built for the trails & mountains that I run in and will go over 65 hours on a single charge.

ElectrolytesPerformance Hydration loaded with goodies including an effective dose of the electrolyte range, amino acids, Vitamin C. I take it everyday when I wake up (and after very hot long runs).

ShoesBuilt with an accommodating toebox and a natural foot shape, the only shoes I've worn on my ultras for years now to help with my hobbit-like feet.

GelsI went off 'traditional' gels years ago. If you want something natural like me, these honey gels are loaded with carbs and a great natural alternative (the coffee one is great).
I only partner with brands whose gear is already in my kit bag. Some links earn me a small cut, but the honest opinion is the same either way.
