As an instructor at Peloton, Rebecca Gentry not only coaches runners, she competes at an elite level herself. With a 1:16 half-marathon personal best, a fourth-place finish at the British Olympic Marathon Trials (2:32:01), and hundreds of thousands tuning into her Peloton runs, Gentry knows a thing or two about how to power her training and racing.

Whether it’s leading classes and training for races around the world, Gentry relies on a consistent set of products to support her routine. “It’s kind of the same products, just in different quantities depending on what I’m doing,” she told Athletech News.

That routine extends beyond fuel and gear. After moving to New York, Gentry found seasonal allergies became an unexpected but meaningful factor in her performance, impacting everything from breathing to sleep. It’s part of what led her to partner with Xyzal, the official allergy sponsor of the 2026 Boston Marathon 2026, where she coached a group of runners navigating similar challenges.

From pre-run fuel and electrolyte hydration to no-bounce gear, recovery tools and nighttime allergy support that helps her wake up feeling ready to run, Gentry’s approach is rooted in consistency.

We asked Gentry about the exact essentials she uses to train, race and recover, and compiled them below.
