RPI The Travel Stick $25
Unless you have an extra pair of hands, sometimes there’s just no stretch that effectively loosens up some of those sore runner’s muscle groups. The Travel Stick is designed to reduce soreness by working out the lactic acid that builds up in hamstrings, quads, and calves to help speed muscle recovery and improve circulation.

Body Glide Anti-Friction 2.5 oz $13
If you feel a hot spot start digging at your pinky toe 12 miles into a marathon, this is the item you want to have at your disposal. Loaded with aloe vera, Vitamin E, and other magical substances, Body Glide rolls on like deodorant and shields your skin from blisters, chafing, and cracking.

Nike Elite Structure Running Socks $14
That these socks provide a barrier between your foot and the shoe is just a technicality. The Nike Elite Structures help stabilize and control pronation, support your arch, and alleviate foot fatigue during long runs. They also help keep blisters at bay with two layers of low-friction yarn that reduces heat build up.
