Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Runners

With Mother’s Day coming up soon, it’s time to make sure you have gifts for all the moms in your life. What’s the perfect gift for a mom who runs? I’m going to share a few ideas! Use this list to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift ideas for runners or to share with someone as your wish list.

With Mother's Day coming up soon, it's time to make sure you have gifts for all the moms in your life. What's the perfect gift for a mom who runs? I'm going to share a few ideas! Use this list to find the perfect Mother's Day gift ideas for runners or to share with someone as your wish list.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Runners

Koala Clip

If you haven’t tried a Koala Clip yet, you’re missing out! I’ve been using mine for about 3 years now and I love it. You can use it to carry your phone, key, and other small items on the run. It slides into the back of your sports bra or could also be worn on the side of tights or shorts. Check out my review of Koala Clip here.

FRÉ Anti-aging products

Another must-have for moms who run is FRÉ skincare products. Some of my favorite products include Brighten Me, Revive Me, Recover Me and Protect Me, which all happen to be anti-aging products. Today through Friday (4/30/21) you can save 40% on anti aging solutions plus 10% more off with the code MILEBYMILEBLOG. Perfect for a Mother’s Day Gift!

Brooks Run Bra

Nope, these aren’t your standard “sports bras”. They are called “run bras” because they are designed specifically for running! The two new styles are called “Dare” and “Drive” and there are several different styles/cuts of each. My favorite is the Drive 3 Pocket Run Bra. I like that it has alot of coverage and (of course) pockets!

Sarah Marie Design Studio Shirt

Sarah Marie Design Studio has so many fun designs for runners. I recently got a t-shirt that says “Run all the miles, drink all the wine”. I also love this “Mama needs a run” sweatshirt. Perfect for Mother’s Day, right?!

Coffee Mug for Mothers

Most moms run on coffee, right? So why not get them a cute mug that has to do with running! There are lots of options on Etsy, like this one that says “I’m a Mother and Marathon Runner…don’t underestimate me”.

Necklace for Mothers

What about a cute piece of jewelry for the running mom in your life? For my first Mother’s Day my husband and son got me a little necklace with a “G” (for Grayson) on it from Erica Sara. She has lots of running jewelry too! I might eventually add other charms to my necklace, like a running quote or “26.2”. (Note that the website says orders needed to be placed by 4/26 to be delivered for Mother’s Day. So if you don’t want your gift to be late maybe consider a gift certificate instead!)

A Running Book

I don’t have much time to read, but when I do I pretty much exclusively read books about running. Books make a great Mother’s Day gift for runners! I shared a post with books to help you run faster. I also recently started reading Win At All Costs and so far it’s really good. Wendy wrote a review about it last fall.

A Run Coach or Training Plan as a Mother’s Day Gift

Now that races are starting to happen again, it’s a great time to start working with a run coach. Coaching services or a training plan make a great Mother’s Day gift. This is a very individual decision, so don’t go signing up for coaching without talking it over with the person you are getting it for. There are lots of options from monthly training plans, to group coaching, to individualized coaching. There are many coaches that post in this link-up so be sure to check them out! You can learn about my coaching services here.

The Gift of Time for Mother’s Day

When all else fails, moms can always use the gift of time! Offer to watch their kids while they go grab a cup of coffee, or drink a glass of wine, or just sit in silence and do nothing. Especially this year, time is invaluable!

    Wait, what? A running bra with pockets? I missed that one!
    I just had a look at the Drive bra, it looks great! Does it work well with the phone in the back pocket?

    Great suggestions, Lisa! I should forward this to my men, lol. Truthfully, I am looking forward to getting together with my mom and my sister, all of us together for the first time since the pandemic!

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 29, 2021 at 8:12 pm

      That’s going to be so nice! So happy for you guys. My sister is due with her second baby in the next week or so, so my mom is staying with her in Texas for a while. Not sure the next time we will all be together!

    Of course I think moms should be celebrated all the time! You can never have too many run bras or running gear. (Or can you?)

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 29, 2021 at 8:12 pm

      We can never have enough of that stuff- especially when its Brooks!

    I love my Koala Clip(s)! Even in the winter, when it’s too difficult to stash it under all the layers, I carry my phone in it (in my hand) for my shorter runs.

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 29, 2021 at 8:15 pm

      Agreed! Its so convenient. I’ve also carried it in my hand and when I didn’t want to get it back in my sports bra.

    I imagine most mother’s really want that gift of time! Too bad somehow Dads don’t think that’s enough.

    A training plan from a running coach would be awesome!

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 29, 2021 at 8:17 pm

      I would love a few hours to myself- even if its not to relax, just to get some things done!

  6. Jenny says

    April 28, 2021 at 2:13 pm

    These are all great ideas! I have two sweatshirts from Sarah Marie Design and love them. I’ve definitely had my eye on the Drive 3 pocket bra- I think I’ll have to order it for myself though, because a mysterious package has already arrived containing my Mother’s Day present!

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 29, 2021 at 8:18 pm

      Oooh thats exciting! I really love the 3 pocket bra. I think I need to get another one (or two!)

  7. Debbie says

    April 28, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    I love all of these! I need to send this to my sons. 🙂

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 29, 2021 at 8:18 pm

      Good idea!

  8. Lauren says

    April 29, 2021 at 2:21 pm

    I love the mug idea and I also really want to get a Koala clip! I’ll have to send this list to my husband for a few ideas! 🙂

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 29, 2021 at 8:18 pm

      I feel like i can never have enough coffee mugs. I definitely recommend the Koala clip!

  9. Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says

    April 29, 2021 at 6:32 pm

    Lots of cute ideas here! I’ve wanted to try a Koala clip for a while, maybe it’s time to order one!

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 29, 2021 at 8:19 pm

      Yes you should definitely give it a try!

  10. Jenn says

    April 29, 2021 at 9:22 pm

    Time! Yes!

    I do like those Sarah Marie shirts. I haven’t treated myself to one of those yet.

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 30, 2021 at 8:09 pm

      They’re so cute!

  11. Coco says

    April 29, 2021 at 10:18 pm

    Great ideas! What a cute photo – time flies!

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 30, 2021 at 8:09 pm

      Thanks! It sure does!

  12. Laura says

    April 30, 2021 at 5:31 pm

    I love the FRE anti-aging products! I want some Tracksmith gear or just a day of not having to change diapers!

    • Lisa @ Mile By Mile says

      April 30, 2021 at 8:24 pm

      Hopefully you can get a break from diapers on Mother’s Day! I’ve never tried Tracksmith but I’ve heard great things about it.

Fall is pretty good too but there’s nothing like Fall is pretty good too but there’s nothing like seeing the sunrise on a morning run! As an early morning riser I would be fine with a 4am sunrise but I know that’s not for everyone so I will just enjoy the 2 months of the year when the sun is up (almost) as early as me. #morningrunner #sunriserun
Let them be your reason, not your excuse. I coul Let them be your reason, not your excuse. 

I could sit here and tell you how hard it is to train with 2 young kids. How I rarely get a full night’s sleep anymore. How they got me sick the week before my race. How my SI joint just isn’t the same since my pregnancies. But that wouldn’t be fair, because I need to listen to my own advice that I give them about how to keep working hard and that there will always be obstacles to overcome.

After my race on Sunday I was thinking about how my Kindergartner has been working for a special award all year long. Many times he has told me he just wants to give up, because he works so hard for months at a time and still hasn’t earned it. I keep telling him that if he keeps working hard he will earn it, but what’s most important is that he gives his best each and every day. All those good days add up and even if he doesn’t earn the award, it will mean he had a great year.

Don’t I need to take my own advice and remember that all the good training days add up, even if I don’t get the outcome I want on race day? Before my race he kept telling me to do my best, and that he would give me a prize (artwork) even if I don’t win. So maybe all the lessons I am teaching him are starting to pay off? #motherrunner #halfmarathon  #frederickrunfest
I can pretty much see the humidity as I look back I can pretty much see the humidity as I look back on these videos. After a few days to process my race I am feeling better about how it went and starting to focus on what’s next. I guess it’s officially time to acclimate to the heat and humidity because it’s not getting cooler any time soon! My full recap is up at milebymileblog.com

Have you acclimated to the warmer weather yet?

#run #runner #runchat  #frederickrunfest
Happy Medal Monday! This is a unique medal because Happy Medal Monday! This is a unique medal because the middle part is actually a removable pin! So you could take it off and display it somewhere else. What is the most unique medal you have received at a race? #run #halfmarathoner #frederickrunfest #medalmonday
