Running a Marathon with EDS—Part One (video)

How I Ran a Marathon with EDS (Part One) 🏃‍♀️🦓

Running a marathon is a big feat for anyone—but doing it with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)? That’s a whole different challenge.

Before I dive into the products that helped me, I want to start with a very important disclaimer: What works for me may not work for you. Chronic illnesses like EDS affect everyone differently, and certain activities—especially high-impact ones—can be unsafe for some. So, please remember that this is my experience, and I’m sharing it as a resource, not a recommendation. Always listen to your body and consult your care team about what’s safe for you!

I’ve tried so many things over the years to help support my body—and in this reel, I’m sharing the key products that made this goal possible for me. From staying hydrated to managing joint stability and recovery, these tools played a huge role in making this marathon happen.

The best part? You don’t have to remember it all—screenshot the reel for reference!

And this is just the beginning—Part 2 will dive into more recovery essentials and lessons learned, so make sure to follow along!

PS: None of this is sponsored—I found these products on my own and genuinely use them because they help me. Just sharing what worked for me in case it helps you, too!
