Black Friday running gear

Running gear at Black Friday prices

During the promotion, the discounted gear is sorted here by use. It’s often the perfect time to invest in that item you've been hesitating to buy all year, like a watch or a hydration pack.

Six families of discounted gear

• GPS Watches : pace, distance and heart rate on your wrist.
• Trekking Poles : lightweight and foldable, for steep climbs.
• Hydration Packs : everything you need to drink and carry the essentials on long outings.
• Massage : rollers, balls and guns to relax your muscles.
• Protection and Care : knee supports, ankle supports and products to take care of your body.
• Textiles and Accessories : hats, headbands, gloves and small running accessories.

Choosing your GPS watch according to your activity

For running on roads, a watch that measures pace, distance and heart rate is more than enough. If you do trail running, look at battery life and navigation: following a route becomes essential on long trails.

Also check compatibility with your phone and the training apps you use.

Poles and pack : gearing up for trail running

On steep climbs, poles help distribute effort between arms and legs. Choose foldable ones for storage in your pack when the terrain becomes runnable again.

For the pack, think about volume : a lightweight vest with two flasks is enough for a short outing, a larger pack holds a jacket and supplies for long distances.

Garmin, Leki, Mizuno : brands in the selection

Garmin is the go-to brand for running watches with its Forerunner range, designed to track your sessions and training plans. Leki, a German manufacturer of poles, offers lightweight and foldable models tailored for trail running.

Mizuno and adidas complete the range with their textile accessories, from hats to headbands.

Other ways to gear up for less

After Black Friday, the equipment clearance features end-of-line products, and the equipment deals page lists current discounts. The special offers complete the selection.

Which hydration pack to buy cheaply to start trail running?

A lightweight vest, fitted to the torso, with front flask pockets. It should not bounce while running. The discounted models are on the hydration packs page.

Is a massage gun useful for a runner?
