Brooks Spark 8″ Short Tights
The Spark 8″ Short Tights from Brooks fit snuggle to prevent chafing but are not too tight and are comfortable enough to wear for a long run. The have a secure back pocket as well as two large side pockets.
NoxGear Tracer 2 Reflective Vest
The NoxGear Reflective Vest lights up in several different colors and has multiple flashing mode options as well. Perfect for getting in those early morning or late evening miles while the kids sleep.
Massage Gun
When you don’t feel like getting down on the floor to use a foam roller, a massage gun is the perfect alternative! I have a few that I keep around my house: the Rooftree Health Percussion gun, Theragun Mini, and Bob and Brad Air 2 Mini Massage Gun.
InsideTracker
Last year I posted about my experience using InsideTracker. This would make a great Mother’s Day gift for a runner to help her make sure she is taking care of herself! Leave me a comment if you are interested in a discount code.
Nathan QuickSqueeze Plus Handheld Water Bottle
Nathan’s updated QuickSqueeze Plus Handheld has a new strap system that allows for maximum breathability and also has an improved fit! The updated design includes a more secure hand strap system that utilizes Nathan’s grip-free technology, and a softer bottle making it easier to squeeze and control the flow of water. There are also two pockets: one that fits most smartphones, and a zippered pocket for other smaller items.
Zipster Max Running Belt
The Zipster Max Waist Beltis a nice and wide storage belt that can hold any size phone. It has 2L of storage capacity and 4 pockets, so you can fit all your gels, sunglasses, keys, and more!
Lumen
Moms who run can start focusing on personalized nutrition to take control of their health using Lumen. This is a hand-held, portable device to accurately measure metabolism. It uses a sensor and flow meter to determine the CO2 concentration in a single breath. This indicates the type of fuel your body is using to produce energy. Sounds interesting, right? You can use the code LISARUNS for $40 off any purchase.
Running Socks
Every runner can use a new pair of socks! I recently got to try out Swiftwick’s Maxus Zero-Tab Socks. These have a plush, high-cushion footbed and arch support that wrap snuggly around your foot. They are soft and sweat-wicking, and also made with sustainable material!
My some of my other go-tos include are Feetures and Wine Glass How about treating a mom who runs to a fun wine glass or tumbler? Mom’s of little kids will especially appreciate this kind which has a lid. To run well, you need to eat well! A cookbook makes a great Mother’s Day gift, especially one geared towards runners. Rise and Run has lots of delicious breakfast recipes. Hopefully that list gave you some ideas gift ideas for mom’s who run.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Runners
How to Choose the Best Brooks Run Bra
7 Ways I Have Changed As A Runner Since Becoming a Mom
Will you be asking for any of these items for Mother’s Day?
Thank for this reminder, Lisa! I nearly forgot that Mother’s Day is fast approaching. These are great gift ideas.
I think my mum would appreciate the massage gun. So would I, to be honest! 😉
I bet you could really use it after your ultra!
These all look like great gift suggestions! I could have used that massage gun after last weekend’s trail race, lol. My quads are still mad at me.
It feels so good on the quads!
All great suggestions, Lisa 😉 I think I’m treating myself to some shoes…running and otherwise, since I already have some of the other items mentioned.
Shoes are always a great choice!
All great ideas! I just saw info on that run show in Chicago and wish I could go. The dates don’t match for me this time. I do love a good massage gun 🙂
I think they have the Run Show in a few different cities. Hopefully you can go another time!
It’s the day before my birthday.
Great ideas… ALL!
My gift to myself is a race the day before and leave on a trip with friends the day after LOL.
That sounds like a great way to celebrate your birthday and Mother’s Day!
I want all of these!!! However, I’m getting a new Garmin for Mother’s Day since my old one broke (sigh.) I might get the Vizy Vest for my husband for Father’s Day though- he runs in the dark more than I do.
A new Garmin is an awesome gift! Its too bad your old one broke though.
So many great choices! I need to send this list to my sons. 🙂
You definitely should! 🙂
I already know what my mom wants. 🙂
These are all great ideas, Lisa!
Cute stuff!
My birthday and Mother’s Day are a day apart, so it’s the time of all the presents!
All great ideas! I really want to explore the Inside Tracker – so much great information it offers.
My mum would want flowers or a day with the family – but I think I would also get her a smart scale and then use it myself, ha!
We have a very basic one that only measures weight. It would be good to get some data on muscle mass as well.
The massage gun has probably been my most used recovery tool! Inside tracker was literally a life saver for me. Happy mothers day
All great ideas. I have a massage gun but none of the rest.
Unfortunately we do not exchange gifts anymore for any holidays. we just buy what we need.
So many great gifts! I have Shalene’s first cookbook. I need to check this one out.
No, thank you on the scale! You can keep that to yourself, thank you very much!
The vest is cute though. I debate about wanting one.
The moms in our early morning run groups all swear by their Nonxgear vests and so me use them for their dogs as well. Great gift ideas
Lots of great gift ideas! Lumen sounds really interesting, I’d like to look into that. I really love my Noxgear vest but it’s the original, the newer version would be great.
Great tips!
I’m decidedly not on Mother’s Day. We just got through A’s 16th birthday, and then we have my birthday and a bunch of end of year stuff. Mother’s Day will happen one way or another!
