Prime Day deals on running gear
For only two days, online shopping gets you big discounts on running gear during Prime Days
For many runners, Prime Days signal a chance to save money on essential running gear. Historically, Amazon was the main place for these deals, but now many other retailers offer equally great discounts.
Here are some of our top Prime Day deals on running gear.
Garmin Forerunner 255 Music Smart Watch
A watch for tracking your workouts while listening to music
If you’re serious about your training and you love listening to your favourite tunes while you work out, you should consider using the Forerunner 255 Music. This sophisticated watch reads your heart rate without a chest band, and thanks to its GPS and internal accelerometer, the Forerunner 255 Music can provide accurate speed, pace and distance measurements. The watch also features different modes that are optimized for various activities, including cycling, triathlon and gym-related training. Plus you can download up to 500 songs from Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music accounts. Finally, the Forerunner 255 music can be paired with the Garmin Connect app, allowing runners to view and analyze their workouts.
Saucony Hurricane 24
A plush stability shoe
If you are looking for a plush, highly cushioned stability shoe, you need to check out the Hurricane 24. Built with a unique dual-cushioning midsole that features soft PWRRUN PB foam surrounded by a firmer layer of PWRRUN foam, the Hurricane 24 delivers a wonderful blend of cushioning and stability. This construction also avoids the somewhat obtrusive traditional medial post found in more conventional stability shoes. From a numbers perspective, the Hurricane 24 is clearly a max-cushion shoe; it has a 38 mm heel stack, 32 mm forefoot stack, and a 6 mm drop. In other words, very tried-and-true dimensions. Looking at the upper, Saucony has spec’d a durable and highly breathable engineered mesh that hugs your foot. Finally, carefully placed rubber outsole pads provide excellent durability and traction while avoiding excess weight.
Garmin Forerunner 55 Sport Watch
An easy-to-use GPS running smartwatch
If you are looking for a relatively affordable GPS-enabled running watch that offers plenty of core running features, check out the Forerunner 55. The watch, with its svelte overall dimensions, can track heart rate as well as time, distance, pace and speed–the main functions most runners are interested in tracking. Need to track other training data? No worries, the Forerunner 55 can also monitor your overall health, suggest workouts and create different activity profiles for other sports. Still not convinced? Then consider that the watch also delivers excellent battery performance, with up to two weeks in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours in GPS mode.
Brooks Ghost 16
A durable, neutral daily trainer
If you’re a heel-striker and want a well-cushioned daily training shoe with exceptional durability, check out the Brooks Ghost 16. Built on a nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole, the Ghost 16 provides the impact protection you need during long runs while offering sufficient energy return when you pick up the pace. Runners will also appreciate Brooks’s segmented crash pads, which encourage a smooth heel-to-toe transition and create a smoother ride. Brooks specs a substantial layer of RoadTack rubber for the outsole, which delivers extra durability where you need it most. With its 12 mm drop (24 mm heel stack and 12 mm forefoot), the Ghost 16 is ideal for the casual or recreational runner and traditional heel-strikers.
Salomon Sense Aero 3"
Versatile shorts with a 3” inseam
With their minimalist design, three-inch inseam and split side seam, the SENSE AERO 3″ shorts are ideal for racing or training in warm conditions. Salomon uses a unique 4-way stretch perforated fabric that provides excellent breathability and won’t hold you back during hard efforts. The shorts also feature a low-profile elastic waist that easily conforms to your body without restricting movement. The addition of two small pockets at the front allows you to carry small essentials.
