1. Customized Marathon Map: Consider getting a customized marathon map that showcases all the races she has completed. This thoughtful gift will remind her of her accomplishments and the memories associated with each race. You can have the map professionally framed or printed on canvas, making it a beautiful addition to her home decor.

2. Race Registration: Surprise her with a race registration for an upcoming marathon she has been eyeing. It shows your support for her passion and dedication to running. Make sure to choose a race that she has expressed interest in or one that holds a special meaning for her, such as a destination race in a city she has always wanted to visit.

3. Personalized Running Gear: Running enthusiasts appreciate high-quality gear. Consider getting her personalized running shoes or a customized running jersey with her name, race number, or motivational quote. You can also add small touches like a personalized running hat, water bottle, or socks, making her feel extra special during her runs.

4. Running Watch: A top-of-the-line GPS running watch will revolutionize her training experience. Look for a model that suits her needs, packed with features like heart rate monitoring, activity tracking, and smartphone integration. This device will help her track her progress, improve her performance, and set new personal records.

5. Massage or Spa Gift Certificate: Long-distance running can take a toll on the body. Treat her to a relaxing massage, spa package, or wellness retreat. This gift will allow her to rejuvenate and recover post-race, ensuring she can continue doing what she loves while taking care of herself both physically and mentally.

6. Inspirational Running Books: Help her stay motivated and inspired by gifting her a collection of running books. There are plenty of memoirs, training guides, and stories of extraordinary runners that can fuel her love for the sport. Look for titles like "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall or "The Long Run: A Memoir of Loss and Life in Motion" by Catriona Menzies-Pike.

7. Personalized Medal Display: Showcasing her hard-earned race medals is a source of pride for any runner. Consider getting her a personalized medal display rack where she can hang and display her race medals. You could even add a special touch by engraving her name or a meaningful quote on the display.

8. Subscription to Running Magazine: A subscription to a popular running magazine will provide her with inspiration, tips, and insights into the running community. There are several well-regarded magazines to choose from, such as "Runner's World" or "Women's Running." This gift will keep her motivated and updated on the latest trends and techniques in running.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your support and appreciation for her passion for running. Any gift that recognizes her dedication and helps her enjoy her favorite hobby will be much appreciated.
