In case you haven’t seen, this week is Running Week at the Strategist. If you’re a new runner or thinking about getting back into it yourself, we have you covered on all the best shorts, water bottles, and gear. Shoes are arguably the most expensive thing you’ll splurge on for the sport, but luckily, we found some of our favorite beginner-friendly pairs on sale over at REI. The Saucony Ride is said to be a neutral shoe perfect for keeping an easy, steady pace, and it’s 30 percent off in women’s and 25 percent off in men’s. Also on sale is the Saucony Triumph, which Strategist writer Jeremy Rellosa says is better if you like a “closer-to-the-ground feel.” Both men’s and women’s are 30 percent off. This pair also comes in more neutral colorways, if the bright orange and yellow are a deal-breaker. If you’re ready to hit the pavement, snag one of these pairs while they’re still on sale.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
