Amazon Prime Day is coming up on July 16 and 17, and it’s a good time to score extra savings on running gear. Whether preparing for the upcoming marathon season or simply shopping for new headphones or shorts, Prime Day is a great time to stock up on the supplies and gear you need.
In the lead-up to the actual sale, the Runner’s World Test Team, namely Runner-in-Chief Jeff Dengate and Test Editors Morgan Petruny and Amanda Furrer, has compiled a list of the gear they find most valuable in their daily lives.
To take advantage of Amazon’s Prime Day pricing, you’ll need to be a Prime Member, of course. Beyond that, just shop on Amazon as you normally would. The company is slashing prices on many of its products, including everything from running watches to water bottles to sunscreen. Yes, don’t forget the sunscreen!
We will be regularly monitoring this page to stay on top of changing sales and product stock to ensure this page, as well as our other pages of Prime Day deals, are up to date. Read on for our picks.
Jeff’s Picks
The Expert: Runner-in-Chief Jeff Dengate started working at Runner’s World in 2007 and has been reviewing shoes and gear for RW since 2011. Jeff has been running for nearly 40 years, starting as a miler in grade school, but now runs everything from the mile to marathons on both roads and trails.
NordicTrack’s 1750 is one of the best value treadmills out there. Its incline motor is quiet, there are lots of conveniences found on other treadmills in the brand’s arsenal, and the 14-inch touchscreen is responsive. This is a great opportunity to save money on an already value-packed treadmill.
ASICS Men’s 7-Inch 2-in-1 Short
Now 49% Off
Running apparel does not need to cost an arm and a leg, and these Asics shorts are a great example. They feature soft, breathable, and lightweight poly-spandex fabric, and the integrated liner provides support without chafing. If you need an extra pair of shorts to have around, this is a great option.
CamelBak Quick Stow Flask
Amanda’s Picks
The Expert: I’ve been on the Runner’s World test team for over six years, vetting all kinds of gear, from running shoes and earbuds to dessert beers and pillows. I’ve run over 20 marathons, including Boston, which I’ve run every year since 2013.
You can wear this sports bra all day in comfort, thanks to its gel-cushioned straps. It’s also moisture-wicking, highly breathable, and features mesh on the straps and front panel, keeping you feeling dry rather than swampy. Molded cups provide ample support without an underwire, and this bra is easy to put on and take off.
Garmin Forerunner 255 Music
The 255s Music provides everything the music-loving runner needs. All you need to do is connect via Bluetooth to your earbuds—Garmin is compatible with several brands, including Shokz, Jabra, and JBL—and sync your music downloads from your computer or phone.
It’s perfect if you want to listen to tunes while you run phone-free. The watch also tracks other metrics for the data-minded, including pace, cadence, sleep, and more.
Clif Bar Chocolate Brownie Flavor
I love brownies. Energy bars, on the other hand, can be tricky. I’ve had some that are too chalky, too dry, or just off-putting. But you can’t go wrong with Clif: The bars are great for nibbling on pre-workout and chowing down after for recovery. The wholesome bar is reminiscent of an afterschool snack.
I used to buy from coffee shops every morning post-run. This machine was actually an anniversary surprise from my partner. I was hesitant about using it, feeling like it was a self-serving gift disguised as a present for both of us. But I was eventually wooed by the different pod flavors and smooth taste particular to Nespresso. Now I drink even more caffeine—and save wads of cash by limiting my coffeehouse visits once a week.
Morgan’s Picks
The Expert: I’m a gear editor at Runner’s World and grew up just a few miles from the original RW headquarters in Emmaus, PA. I’ve run thousands of miles in shoes from dozens of brands and helped analyze the data and feedback collected from hundreds of runners through the RW Shoe Lab and wear-testing program. Before that, I was a walk-on Division I runner obsessed with finding the perfect shoes.
The Coros Pace 2 is a high-value alternative to other GPS watches on the market. This watch may lack some features of higher-end options, but its focus on being lightweight and streamlined has earned it praise here at Runner’s World. Getting this good-value watch at a discounted price only sweetens the deal further.
Dr. Scholl’s Odor-X Ultra Odor-Fighting Spray
Getting a sale on a food deodorizer is a good thing, especially when you consider the dividends paid out by not having a smelly car or gym bag. This leaves a pleasant yet neutral odor behind, and now is a great time to pick up a few of these spray cans.
While the lack of ear wings may give you pause, these buds will stay put during runs without any noticeable ill effects. The battery life is on par with what you get from comparable other models. The earbuds seal well in your ears, but not so tightly that you can’t hear your surroundings.
I’m extremely picky when it comes to water bottles. Of the dozens I’ve tested over the years, the Yeti Rambler is among the few that’ve met all my requirements. It’s dishwasher-safe, keeps my coffee hot and water icy cold, and is compatible with several different lids and mouthpieces. I’ve had mine for almost four years. Though it’s dented and covered in stickers, it insulates—with zero leaks whatsoever—just like it did the day I got it.
