NutritionFALLING WATER
We’re in the thick of fall right now, which means it’s shoulder season, which means it’s basically winter, especially when the sun decides to hide. And while there’s plenty of fall fashion for runners, one of our favorite brands for this time of year is Janji.
Born and bred in New England, Janji knows what it takes to run comfortably in the cold. They also have a keen eye for current color palettes and have refined the functionality of their gear over the last decade. In short, you’ve come along at a good time because they’re really hitting their stride right now. Plus, they still stick to their core company values, offering a 5-year guarantee on their gear while donating 2% of every purchase to clean water projects around the globe. They’re basically the indie version of Patagonia… for now.
Whether you’re looking for protection from the elements (Rainrunner 2.0) or a cozy outer layer (Waffleloft LS) or the perfect pants for travel (Transit Tech Pant), there’s something in here to take your running to the next level. See what we’ve been loving from Janji for fall 2023.

OUR FAVORITE JANJI RUNNING GEAR FOR FALL
OUTER OR BASE LAYER
Waffleloft Long Sleeve ($88)
While Nike has a stranglehold on the waffle name when it comes to shoes, it’s a free range world when it comes to waffle thermals. The all-new Waffleloft from Janji is ultra cozy, made from a heavyweight waffle knit (78% recycled polyester) that can be used as a base or outer layer, depending on the temps. It’s also just a really nice shirt for when you want to feel most comfortable (which is really all the time, right?). The integrated thumb slits are a nice touch as well.
OUTERWEAR
Rainrunner Pack Jacket 2.0 ($198)
Personally, I think running rain jackets are pointless outside of ultrarunning (either get wet or get hot), but I’m a huge fan of them for any other life endeavor. The first version of this jacket won our gear of the year a few times over. The new version is somehow even better, made from a lightweight ripstop and 360-degree core ventilation, which is honestly necessary in a running rain jacket. The waterproof rating is 20K, which pretty much means it’s better than any rain jacket out there that isn’t straight PVC.
Two hand pockets with a mesh sleeve are essential for carrying and securing gels or phone, plus, it packs down into a self-stowing pocket with an integrated elastic carry strap. Also, the scuba hood with bungee toggles actually keeps wind and rain out. It’s clear that Janji thought out every detail with the Rainrunner 2.0– it’s made exceptionally well and should be a core piece in any runner’s wardrobe. Plus, the new colorways are great.
BASE LAYER
Repeat Merino Long Sleeve ($88)
If you don’t already know, merino is the magic that keeps us running through the winter. It’s extremely odor-resistant, it wicks moisture, and it keeps you warm in any condition. And while the Rover Merino is only 48% merino (compared to 52% in Tracksmith Brighton Base Layer or 90% in Artilect Flatiron Base Layer), it still manages to do the job right.
It’s also made from Responsible Wool Standard-certified merino which ensures traceable, non-mulesed wool and best practices are met from farm through production. So if you’re looking for that perfect layer from 35F-55F temperature range, this is the one.
ATHLEISURE
Transit Tech Pant ($94)
While it’s not new, it is one of my most-worn pieces of apparel over the last year. Yes, it can be a running pant if you’re early enough in your running career to still feel shameful wearing full-on tights. But better than that, it’s just a great pair of pants for everyday activities and travel. The Transit Tech Pant is lightweight, quick-drying, and offers just the right amount of flex to stay comfortable in any situation. Bonus points for the dual zip hand pockets and hip drop pocket, perfect for stowing a wallet or phone on the go.
BASE LAYER
Rover Merino Hoodie ($128)
Much like the Merino Long Sleeve above, the Rover hoodie is also made of merino (though it’s only 38% of the material). However, the micro French terry fabric is plush and comfortable while the Spandex allows for a great range of motion while on the go. The scuba hood helps keep wind and cold out, and the integrated thumb slits allow for extra coverage on the hands. It basically covers all the bases from head to, well… waist.
LONG RUN LEGGINGS
Trail Tight ($98)
If you’re looking for warmth in storage all in one package, then you’re looking for the Trail Tight. Made of a breathable 4-way stretch, these tights allow for full range of motion while still offering enough compression to keep you warm over the long run. But the most notable aspect of these tights are the deep side pockets that can easily accommodate a phone or nutrition without bounce. You can pretty much carry anything you want for as long as you want. Which is exactly what you need for you winter marathon training or ultra distances on the trail.
HAND WARMTH
Vortex Windblock Gloves ($42)
A good glove is hard to find– it’s either too thin, or the fingers get cold, or it’s just poorly made. The Vortex goes cancel culture on all those things. With a stowable mitten shell made of PU-coated riptstop, these gloves allow for adjustable warmth and comfort, while offering protection from the wind and elements. But the real bonus is that the mitten comes with a thumb cut-out– a feature often missing from convertible mittens. When we tell you Janji thinks of everything that runners need, this is what we’re talking about.
TRAVEL
Multipass Sling Bag ($56)
Look, we’ve told you a million times over the last 5 years that you need to get this bag. Not sure what else we can say at this point. It goes with us on all our travels, and is perfect for that short errand run, sightseeing expedition, concert experience, and more. The strap system keeps it locked down on the run, while the storage is more than adequate for all your essentials.

Still finished a 12-hour race in the second trimester!
INTRODUCTION TO RUNNING WHILE PREGNANT
As a runner with two decades of mileage under my feet (half of that running ultramarathons), I’ve become quite familiar with how my body feels and reacts during training, from hard efforts to recovery days.
Last September, as I was running 80 mile weeks in preparation for an upcoming 100-miler, I noticed I felt “off” for an entire week leading up to a tune-up 50K. Of course, this was during the final legs of Covid, so I took two tests and got only one line on both. Negative.
My next hypothesis was simply training fatigue. I was training pretty hard, though it wasn’t that out of the ordinary for me. Around that same time, it dawned on me that my period was a week late. The morning before I was scheduled to fly out to Arizona for my race, I took another type of test, the kind you wait in the bathroom to see the results. That one also had only one line– a faint pink one. Yep, I was pregnant. It was nice to know my training was on point.
Once the initial joy and excitement of the moment subsided, I knew that I would need to shift gears and reassess my running goals at some point. This was also the first time that I googled “running during pregnancy.” My search produced mixed results that left me feeling confused and overwhelmed. To be fair, it’s not exactly the most common pastime, though it’s thankfully becoming more common thanks to the high-profile athletes like Alyson Felix.
Second trimester trails
I filed my own questions away for my first OBGYN appointment. I’ve known of many women who ran and raced through pregnancy and ended up with healthy babies, which was reassuring. However, this was now my baby and it was sudden and new to me.
Regardless, I decided to race my upcoming 50K with just a slight sense of nausea and uncertainty. In the end, it all turned out pretty okay.
Following that race and my first OB appointment, I came up with some new running goals:
- Continue running as much as I could through pregnancy.
- Take what each day gave me. If I felt good enough to run, I’d run. If not, I’d rest.
- Run through the entire pregnancy, or at least until I couldn’t anymore. If that didn’t work, I’d be okay with it.
As mentioned earlier, I consider myself an experienced runner. However, pregnancy has been extremely humbling. If I’m being honest, it feels a lot like starting over again. Nevertheless, I’ve learned a lot of lessons over the past nine months, and I hope that sharing them will help you in some way.
Testing out some Rabbit running gear
FIRST TRIMESTER
TRAINING TIP #1: COMFORT IS THE NAME OF THE GAME.
As far as running goes, not much changed in the first trimester besides nausea, fatigue, and a slightly slower running pace. I mean, that’s basically a description of the later stages of an ultra, so the feeling wasn’t that unfamiliar to me. Just like those moments, I found it useful to stay as comfortable as possible when running and not running.
Gear tip: My absolute favorite during first (and really all) trimesters was Rabbit’s EZ apparel, which is their ‘relax and recover’ line made of the softest ever fabrics. No, seriously, they are the softest. I practically lived in them throughout my pregnancy. I especially love the fit and selection of neutral and fun pastel colors and patterns that make the wardrobe very flattering and perfect to wear on any occasion. My personal favorites are the EZ tee (long sleeve and short sleeve), EZ joggers, and Leggy 4”. These were all staple wardrobe items early on and continued to feel comfortable as my belly grew.

Shop Rabbit EZ Joggers$88
TRAINING TIP #2: DON’T STRESS OVER PACE AND MILEAGE.
I was guilty of this in the early weeks, but eventually I learned to let go. Running became easier and a lot more fun once I did. I also learned that each day was different- some days I’d feel good enough to knock out big miles, but others I opted to skip the run. I took full advantage of the good days and rested on the not-so-good ones. I also kept most of my runs easy and stopped looking at pace. My body was growing a human– that requires a lot of work!
TRAINING TIP #3: EAT SMALL MEALS AND/OR SNACKS OFTEN.
If I started my morning run on an empty stomach, it was almost a guaranteed puke fest. I found that starting the day with a light meal helped combat some of the morning sickness. Snacks and light meals throughout the day helped balance it out as well. Some of my go-to nutrition to ward off the nausea: greek yogurt with granola, small bowl of cereal, crackers, fruit, and granola bars.

OUR FAVORITE PATAGONIA RUNNING GEAR FOR SPRING
OUTERWEAR
Houdini Stash 1/2 Zip Pullover ($139)
Did the Houdini just get an upgrade? We think it did. The full-zip Houdini is an icon in the world of trail running, so it’s nice to see the all-new half-zip pullover option. Made of an ultra lightweight 100% recycled nylon ripstop shell with a DWR finish, the jacket also features two side pockets (at last) and a zippered chest pocket. Airflow is provided by overlapping slits around the jacket.
TRAIL RUNNING
Trailfarer Shorts ($59)
Liner-less (and pocketless, except for a back pocket), these high-rise shorts are made from lightweight fabric that breathes, wicks moisture and stretches for all-day comfort. For daily runs, hikes, or just general wear, they’re performance-driven and quick-drying and perfect for summer runs.
ROAD OR TRAIL RUNNING

WARM WEATHER GEAR
Capilene Cool Lightweight Tee ($45)
The next best thing to Merino wool, Capilene will indeed keep you cool.

Everything you need and nothing that you don’t, this vest features a simple no-bounce design, made of 100% recycled polyester ripstop. It comes with two HydroFlask soft flasks and just the right amount of pockets for gel/phone storage, as well as a front and back bungee system for trekking poles. Ultralight and breathable, this is the perfect running vest for warmer weather. We enjoyed the first version of this vest, but the 2024 version is improved in all the right places.
FOOTWEAR
Wool Anklet Socks ($22)
When you just need comfort and moisture-wicking and odor-resistant performance on the trails, go with merino wool (58% of the material). All virgin wool Patagonia sources is certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) from farm to fiber to help ensure protection both for the animals that supply it and the land they graze.
BOTTOMS
Terrebone Joggers ($99)
While these aren’t new to Patagonia, we do have some new colorways. These slim cut joggers are made of 100% recycled polyester stretch ripstop. Super comfortable, and two hand pockets and a right rear pocket take care of storage issues. A versatile pant for travel, activity, and relaxing.
TRAVEL
Black Hole Duffel 55L ($169)
While there’s four sizes of this bag, we prefer the 40L, perfect as a weekender bag, ultra drop bag, or beach bag. Really anything you can throw about it. The new design for 2024 focuses on impact reduction with a 100% recycled body fabric, lining and webbing, and now a pioneering recycled TPU-film laminate with a sleek matte finish.
