“A penny saved is a penny earned.” - Benjamin Franklin
It is Amazon Prime Day and this is your chance to save many pennies as you stock up on running gear and accessories for the rest of the year. It's limited to Amazon Prime members, so if you're not already a Prime member, you can start a 30-day free trial and benefit from the deals by clicking here.
As we’ve said many times before, we love supporting our local specialty-run shops 360 days per year, but the deals are so good on Prime Day that we can’t resist.
Here is our list of the Top 10 Deals for Runners on Amazon Prime Day.
Our last Six Minute Mile survey said 39% of readers listen to music and an additional 12% listen to podcasts/audiobooks while running. For us it’s all about having the right headphones. We like AirPods because of their long battery life (6 hours before a recharge) and their high resistance to the elements like sweat and water.
While you can’t go wrong with AirPods, our very own Coach Trax has been reviewing headphones for SMM for about a year now, and these are her two favorites:
Most of us prefer running outdoors, but treadmills can come in clutch when the weather refuses to cooperate. Thanks to brands like Woodway and Wahoo, treadmill technology has progressed rapidly over recent years. Unfortunately, those models can set you back $5,000 or more. The NordicTrack T Series is well-regarded and is a good mix of quality and value. It’s even more of a value now, thanks to Amazon, so even a rainy day (or a super hot day) can be a little happier.
Earlier this week, we picked up a pair of their Cascadia 17 trail running shoes and absolutely love them. But dang, why didn’t we wait until Prime Day?!?! In addition to Brooks, you may want to check out deals on these popular models
Saucony and Mizuno. They are tried and true for taking on long marathon training miles. Likely, you may already have gone through a pair or two of them in past training periods. It’s rare to see a great everyday trainer fall below this price so now is a good time to stock up.

Collagen peptides have been proven to support healthy joints, bones, skin, and ligaments. We've added it to our anti-aging routine (but still haven't seen the same results as Vital Proteins investor Jennifer Aniston). These supplements can add up cost-wise so if you've been on the fence about investing, now is a good time to give it a try.
5. Apple Watch and Garmin Watches
GPS Smartwatches are typically the superstars of Amazon Prime Day. Apple Watches and Garmin Forerunners are both heavily discounted during the madness. Both of these models include VO2 max tracking, multiple global positioning networks, advanced fitness tracking, and music storage.
Amid a scorcher of a summer, it feels like a good time to reiterate the fact that there are no life hacks when it comes to being out in the sun. It's pretty simple – wear sunscreen or get burnt. Choosing something in the range of 50-70 SPF with broad spectrum is a good formula for keeping your skin cool and youthful looking. This product is great for use on your face, ears, and nose.
Casper Mattresses are the trailblazers regarding the mattress-in-a-box craze of recent years. Today the king-sized mattress is priced the same as the queen so if you have the space there's is no reason not to go one size up.
These inserts from Spenco allow you to improve the support and cushioning of any running shoe. They’re designed with gel heel cushioning, which absorbs the energy of the impact in a heel strike. They’re also moisture-wicking, durable, and can easily be moved between pairs of shoes to get the best support across the board. If you haven’t upgraded the insoles that came with your shoes, you may be overly taxing your body and slowing down your finish times
When it comes to at-home exercise equipment no one has dominated the headlines more than Peloton. While there are many good competitors among treadmill manufacturers, the Peloton stationary bikes are regarded by many as the best in the business. Plus, they also make a terrific treadmill that produces that similar at-home fitness class energy that makes getting over the finish line fun.
A great pair of socks is just slightly less important than a good pair of shoes. Frankly, our loyalties don’t lie with any particular sock brand these days, and since we’ve always been a fan of Feetures (and regular white socks) we will pick up one or two of their running 3 packs.
It was too hard to limit this list to ten. YETI mugs and cups don’t go on sale very often so we had to make an exception. With all due respect to the Stanley craze, Yeti is still the platinum standard in travel mugs and drink containers – not to mention their classic coolers.
