Presidential nominee Joe Biden’s wife Dr. Jill Biden gave viewers a look into her stylish running attire during the second night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

In a clip introducing the educator, Jill was seen giving her husband a kiss goodbye before she headed out for a run outdoors. For the workout, she opted for a pair of cropped black leggings topped off with a gray tank accented with an Om symbol — a call to yoga practices and consciousness.

“I have a rule that I never think of anything negative when I’m running,” explained the English professor in the clip.

On her feet, she tucked her black and white Puma socks into a pair of shoes from Swiss running brand On. The On Cloudflow features adaptive engineered mesh uppers for breathability and support along with a unique speedboard with a responsive flex and rocker to allow for full propulsion during strides. A signature CloudTec outsole includes 18 individual pods to push your step forward and provide a cushion for shock absorption. The former second lady’s choice of colorway comes with ombré black to gray uppers on top of a split-tone pink and white outsole.

The style retails for $140 and is available in a mix of shades at Zappos.com.

On running shoes are also a favorite brand for another familiar face: Michelle Obama. The former first lady celebrated her birthday in January with a photo of herself alongside friends on a hike in front of a picturesque scene of roaring hills and a double rainbow on Instagram. For her athleisure-chic ensemble, the “Becoming” author chose a long gray tank, black cropped leggings and a pair of sneakers by the On brand. The waterproof Cloudventure sneakers feature a black outsole, coral accents, Missiongrip outsole for maximum traction and Zero Gravity Cloud cushioning for shock and impact absorption.

I’m looking to make this year the best one yet—can’t wait to keep you all posted along the way.
