Fitness Fashion Friday: SmartWool Seamless Sports Bra Review

July 21, 2017 By Jessie Benson 14 Comments

I'm pretty picky about sports bras; well, okay, I'm pretty picky about fitness fashion in general, but definitely sports bras. I have a lot of trouble with chafing and support and am constantly trying out new brands/bras to find the best ones for my running endeavors. I was recently given a SmartWool sports bra to test, (thank you to the great people at Gear Running!)  I love SmartWool and Continue Reading

Fitness Fashion: Craft Running Apparel

January 30, 2016 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

The Right Fits is a blog where Fitness and Fashion meet, but I realize it has been awhile since I did a fitness fashion post. I'm changing that now! After my warm weather work trip was cancelled, I decided to treat myself with some new winter running apparel, and I'm reviewing some of that gear today for you. Depending on what the groundhog tells us on February 2, spring might be on its way. Continue Reading

Fitness Fashion Friday: Knixwear Athletic Underwear

October 2, 2015 By Jessie Benson 5 Comments

Whether or not you wear underwear under your running shorts or tights is definitely a fitting debate. I'll be honest- I don't usually wear them on a run with shorts or tights. On a very un-scientific poll of my running friends, most of them do not wear them either. Why? Most running shorts have built in underwear. It's one more thing to worry about; one more thing that could chafe or annoy me Continue Reading

Today's installment of Fitness Fashion Friday is a bit of a stretch in terms of fashion...Today's post is all about putting your name on your shirt for races!  Actually, as you read on, you might think this is more of a fitting debate...please share your thoughts on the topic! You can see from all of these pictures that I am most definitely a fan of putting my name on my shirt for a Continue Reading

Fitness Fashion Friday: The Saucony Bullet Tight Shorts

June 5, 2015 By Jessie Benson 5 Comments

Happy Fitness Fashion Friday! Today I am sharing a product that I have been running in for a while now- the Saucony Bullet Tight Shorts! I bought these shorts last summer and loved them so much, I bought a second pair shortly thereafter.  You might have noticed that here at the Right Fits, I'm usually more of a  "loose" style shorts girl (i.e. like the Patagonia Strider Pro, the Oiselle Roga Continue Reading

Thank you for stopping by!

This is my blog about finding The Right "Fit." I'm an avid runner, marathon enthusiast, and fitness experimentalist who uses my little space of the internet to share my passion for and experiences with running and fitness (...and a little about fashion.)

I write mostly about running and my quest to run a marathon in every state and every continent. But you'll also find some information about different fitness classes in the Twin Cities and more.
