Happy Friday! I’m linking up for Friday Five 2.0 with Rachel from Running on Happy and Lacey and Meranda from Fairytales and Fitness.
I’m going rogue for today’s Friday Five 2.0 post (I know, I’m a rebel)! I’m blessed and lucky enough to be a brand ambassador for some pretty awesome companies. This will be my first year as an ambassador for Enertor and Momentum Jewelry, and I’m thrilled to be back for a third year as an ambassador for Pro Compression. Even though I’m not an “official ambassador” for these two brands, I absolutely LOVE Old Navy Activewear and Mizuno sneakers. This post will focus on these awesome 5 brands, and why I’m proud proud to use all of them!
Luck definitely played a role in bringing Enertor into my life! The company reached out to me via Instagram to see if I would be interested in trying their insoles. I was very hesitant since I had tried insoles in the past and they just didn’t work for me. After doing research, especially about their technology, I decided to give them a try..and I’m so glad that I did! I’ve now run over 100 miles with the insoles and I can feel the difference. You can read my full review here.
If you’re interested in trying out Enertor insoles, you can use my discount to save $10/£10/€10 with code KOOKY10.
Need inspiration? Who doesn’t?! We all need that extra boost to help us get through a hard workout. This is why I love Momentum Jewelry wraps. They have tons of phrases to choose from, and you can even make your own!
I think anyone that wears Momentum Jewelry wraps or foot notes has a story about how those items help them get through a hard run or workout. Here’s my story. I was lacking energy about half way through the NYC Marathon. I was walking a portion of one of the many bridges and I was just feeling defeated since I knew my time goal was out the window. I looked down at my Garmin to see my time and caught a glimpse of my Momentum Jewelry wrap. The message said “You Got This”. I felt so much better after that moment and just told myself to run the mile I was in. It helped me finish my first marathon.
Pro Compression is my jam! I’ve been exclusively using their compression socks for years. Not only are their socks affordable, but they come in TONS of colors and patterns. Tall socks not your thing? They also have calf sleeves and short/mid socks as well.
The compression technology is moisture wicking, speeds recovery and increases blood flow. I wear the marathon socks during mid to long runs and I also wear the socks to aid in recovery after a hard run. Honestly the only reason I was able to walk around after the marathon was because I literally had compression socks on all day – during the race and immediately after. As a bonus, these socks are made in the U.S.A!
All three of these brands have one main core value – a strong online community. I love interacting with other ambassadors via social media, primarily Instagram and Facebook. Ambassadors can quickly become friends and it’s also nice to connect with other like-minded runners!
Although I am not an “official ambassador” for these next two brands, you’ll always find me rocking their products!
If you have followed my blog or social media for a while, you know that I run exclusively in Mizuno sneakers. To be specific, I run in the Wave Inspire series of sneakers.
I’ve tried other brands for a few runs, and I always go back to Mizunos. I need a support sneaker for running and I love that they sneakers give me the support I need, without being too heavy or bulky. Their sneakers are also pretty durable as I can usually get a minimum of 350 miles on them. It also doesn’t hurt that they come in pretty cool colors 🙂
More than half of my workout clothes are from Old Navy. It doesn’t help that the nearest store is within walking distance from where I live 🙂
In particular like their compression shorts, capris and leggings. I can only workout or run in compression bottoms, but that can tend to get expensive when you shop with some of the bigger brands. Old Navy compression gear is very durable, affordable, and most importantly, comes in a variety of colors and designs.
It’s Giveaway Time!
Because I love these brands so much, what better way to celebrate than with a giveaway!
Enter below for your chance to win:
– A pair of Pro Compression marathon socks or calf sleeves (your choice)
– Momentum Jewelry Sparklet
– Momentum Jewelry Footnote
– Old Navy Active Hair Ties (6-pack)
Giveaway ends on April 14th at 11:59 p.m. EST. Good Luck!!
Do you have any brands that you love? Which item are you most excited to win from the giveaway?
Have a great weekend everyone 🙂
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
These are all such great brands! Im so glad you like the insoles and I will keep those in mind if the orthotics don’t work out.
kookyrunner says
Thanks Lisa! I am still surprised that the insolses are working so well for me as my previous experiences with insoles were pretty bad!
Nicole says
Not going to lie, I got a little teary at the NYC marathon story. Love inspiration like that haha
kookyrunner says
Awwe thanks Nicole! I still remember that feeling vividly.
Christine Rockey says
I love pro compression
kookyrunner says
It’s a great brand!
Marsha says
I love momentum jewelry, but I’d really like to win the compression socks. I haven’t been to Old Navy in years. I need to check out their athletic wear. Crosstraining Couture is one of my favorites for flowy tanks for yoga. I like Fabletics 3/4 length tights for running. I’m a big fan of C9 at Target. That’s pretty much where I get all my workout clothes.
Jenn says
These companies are lucky to have you !
kookyrunner says
Awwe thanks so much Jen!
Kimberly Hatting says
I am tempted to go back to Mizunos….I loved my Wave Inspires!! And, Old Navy and I go way back. I refuse to pay top dollar for something that I can get for half the price that is just as good (usually better). I have some Pro Compression sleeves…LOVE them, too.
kookyrunner says
I would recommend trying Mizuno again! 🙂 I’m the same way when it comes to workout clothes. I have a few “more expensive” pieces of workout clothing, but for the most part I still with the affordable options!
Jaime says
I love old navy active wear! It’s affordable and comfortable! I also love my pro compression socks during and after race day!!
kookyrunner says
Totally agree. Old Navy is always coming out with new colors and patterns 🙂
Clarinda says
Definitely most excited to win the ProCompression socks! I have a couple pair and love them, but could always use more. 🙂
I’m an Altra girl now, but before that I did love Mizunos.
kookyrunner says
You can never have too many Pro Compression socks in my opinion 🙂
Tessa says
I love ProCompression for recovery. My favorite brands are Feetures, Garmin and under armour.
kookyrunner says
Totally agree! Pro Compression is key for recovery. I also love Garmin.
Kristin says
Love these brands! I would love to get another pair of pro compression socks!
kookyrunner says
You can never have too many procompression socks!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
These are great and it’s so important to pick your brands wisely. I do love the Momentum jewelry need to dig mine out again.I love my Skirt Sports and everything about their message. nice giveaway
kookyrunner says
Thanks Deborah! I’m a firm believer in sticking with a brand that works for you, especially with running.
Heather DeKlyen says
I have a pair of Mizuno fleece lined leggings that are the most comfortable pair I have ever owned. I would love to try out their shoes as well.
kookyrunner says
Those leggings sound awesome!
Sarah N says
I would be really excited to win the procompression socks. I’ve tried Old Navy activewear and been pleasantly surprised with the quality my favorite is still Oiselle though.
kookyrunner says
I have a shirt from Oiselle and I really like it!
Nikki Fahey says
I like Fit Soc, brooks for shoes, pro compression! And too many 🙂 thanks
kookyrunner says
Pro Compression is the best 🙂
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
I’m probably most excited about Momentum (but everything sounds good to me).
I never even take out the insoles in my running shoes, even though I know you’re supposed to.
I have run in Mizuno Wave Riders a few times; I seem to keep going back to Brooks Ghosts (and usually Newtons for my halfs).
kookyrunner says
I think once you find a sneaker that works for you, just stick with it! It’s so hard to find the “perfect sneaker”.
josephine says
does all of the count? 🙂
kookyrunner says
LOL totally!!
Reca says
I love Momentum Jewelry! I have a small collection going and I just love their stuff. I keep hearing great things about Pro Compression, so that is exciting, too.
kookyrunner says
I have a small collection as well and I’m looking forward to doubling that collection this year 🙂

kookyrunner says
I love the dark side pro compression socks as well!
Amy Lauren Scott says
I really love a lot of brands, honestly. I’m pretty picky about my New Balance Zante shoes for racing, and I also like Orgain organic protein smoothies after a run.
kookyrunner says
I love breakfast smoothies and post-workout smoothies as well 🙂
Teresa says
I do love me some Old Navy clothes but have never tried their workout clothes …you’ve pricked my curiosity there. I’ll have to go shopping soon! 🙂 And I seriously need a new pair of compression socks so I’ll be entering the raffle hoping to score some Pro Compressions in a cool new color 🙂
kookyrunner says
I would highlit recommend their activewear clothing! It’s really durable and they tanks usually have really cue sayings or inspirational mottos!
Good luck in the giveaway!
Alaina @ The Simple Peach says
Great brands! I have a lot of Old Navy clothes too. My newest favorite is a pair of their compression leggings that I wear to work with tunics on days where I need support. They are so structured and suck me in so I don’t feel too bad wearing them to work. LOL!
kookyrunner says
Thanks Alaina! I love Old Navy compression leggings, so great for running!
Meranda@Fairytalesandfitness says
I am a fan of momentum and Mizuno! My favorites are the Wave Riders!

We are on the same wavelength! I run in Wave Inspires and the vast majority of my workout clothes are from Old Navy Active! I love they are quality material, colorful and fun, and at a great price point!
kookyrunner says
Great minds think alike!
Cecil Vermule says
Orange Mud is a great running brand that I support. I’m also really partial to Tiger Balm. Not a “running brand” but it gets me through recovery wonderfully.
I’d be most excited for the Pro Compression as my girls/wife would steal the rest very quickly.
kookyrunner says
I have a few friends that use Orange Mud products and they love them!
Good Luck in the giveaway!
Elle says
I am not sure if your giveaway is open to Canadians, but I entered anyway! I would love to have a piece of Momentum jewellery. I see so many great bracelets from them these days. I have a few brands I am crazy about… Tommie Copper copper-infused compression gear is my #1 brand love.
kookyrunner says
Definitely open to Canadians! 🙂 Momentum Jewelry make great bracelets!
Madhuri says

My loyalty lies with features. They make compression ankle socks that I love and have been running in for 2 years now. Brooks running shoes as I too need a supportive shoe… you now have me thinking about Mizunos. I’ve tried ascis and Nike and came back to brooks so we shall see.
