If you're looking for a running shoe that can handle everything from easy miles to speed work, the Saucony Ride 17 is a great choice. Right now, it's available for just $76 in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale with a 45% discount.

I wore these shoes throughout my 16-week training block for the Manchester Marathon last year, and they didn't disappoint me. I confidently tackled long runs, tempo sessions, recovery miles, and even gym workouts in these shoes.

The Pwrrun+ midsole provides soft cushioning for slower, easier miles while still delivering enough energy return to help you pick up the pace when needed.

The Saucony Ride 18 launched earlier this year, making the Ride 17 an older model now. While the latest version features a plusher upper, greater flexibility, and a more responsive feel, the Ride 17 remains an excellent daily trainer. It’s a reliable, budget-friendly option that I still recommend to readers and friends looking for an affordable shoe that can handle a mixture of training.

If you overpronate or prefer a more supportive running shoe, Saucony's stability version of this shoe is also discounted in the Amazon Spring Sale. The Men’s Saucony Guide 17 is available for $90 (down from $140), with the same deal on the women’s version.
