Huge Amazon running sale from Asics, Garmin, Shokz and more — 17 discounts I’d shop now

The Garmin Forerunner 55 is an older watch, but still an excellent option for new runners or those who like to keep their tech simple. It's an accurate GPS tracker with a built-in heart rate monitor and suggests workouts for you each day to get fitter. Three colors of the watch are reduced by $50 right now.

The Polar Pacer is a great entry-level sports watch that offers reliable tracking and a variety of features to help you get fitter and healthier, like guided workouts and very detailed sleep tracking. It's the best Polar deal I've seen in the Amazon Spring Sale, being reduced by 20%.

The Garmin Forerunner 255 is a full multisport watch that offers accurate dual-band GPS tracking in a lightweight and comfortable design. Compared to newer Garmin models, the main feature it lacks is an AMOLED display, but the MIP screen is still clear and colorful, and this deal is a great value for such a capable watch.

The Garmin Forerunner 265 is my top Garmin watch for most people, thanks to the array of useful tracking and analysis features it offers in a lightweight watch with a bright AMOLED display. It's the latest version of the watch, so to get $50 off in the sale is a good deal if you want the AMOLED upgrade over the Forerunner 255.

The Garmin Epix 2 has been a star of sales events over the past year, and while this isn't the cheapest it's ever been, it's still a great deal for those who want a top sports watch. The Epix 2 has an AMOLED display and a lightweight but durable design with a titanium bezel and sapphire crystal screen. I used the watch for a year, and it never let me down.

This deal is on the 51mm Garmin Epix Pro, the largest model in the range. It also has the longest battery life. It's considerably cheaper than the newer Fenix 8, and having tested both, I'd say the Epix Pro has all the same key sports tracking and training analysis features you really need, so this deal is worth considering.

The lightweight New Balance FuelCell Propel v5 is good value at full price, so I'm surprised to see it reduced by almost 50% as it's still quite a new shoe. Only the men's model sells at this price, but a wide range of sizes of the white color are available in the sale.

My colleague Jess Downey used the Ride 17 to train for a marathon and loved its comfort and durability. I'm also a big fan of it as a daily trainer that will suit many runners. The men's Saucony Ride 17 is also on sale for $89, with various colors included at this price.

The Brooks Ghost Max is a comfortable running shoe with a rockered design that creates a smooth transition from heel to toe. I've also tested the Ghost Max 2, and it's a minor upgrade, but getting the original Ghost Max at this discount is the smarter buy in my opinion.

The Adidas Ultraboost 5 is a comfortable and stylish running shoe that you can wear during and outside of your training. It's also a durable shoe, and heavily reduced in the Amazon sale right now.

The Asics Gel-Nimbus is a popular cushioned shoe that gets updated yearly. That means there are usually deals to consider on the older model when a sale comes around. This big saving on the women's and men's Gel-Nimbus 26 makes it a better value than the newer Gel-Nimbus 27, especially as I didn't notice any major upgrades with the latest model when I tested it.

The Novablast 4 is a versatile daily trainer that's cushioned enough for easy and long runs but has some bounce for faster efforts too. The Novablast 5 recently launched, leading to this discount on the women's and men's Novablast 4, with a range of sizes available. While I prefer the Novablast 5, it's only a slight improvement, and I'd opt for the older shoe for $31 less with this deal.

The Go Sport+ are the best budget running headphones I've tested at their full price, so getting $10 knocked off in the Spring Sale is incredible value. The earhook means they stay in place on the run, and the sound quality is better than it has any right to be, given the low price. All colors of the headphones are reduced too, so you can take your pick.

Another excellent deal on JLab buds. The Epic Air Sport ANC 3 offers better sound quality than the Go Air Sport and has ANC with longer battery life. This $40 discount makes them a tempting option for the budget buds.

I have tested a lot of sports headphones, but the AirPods 4 have surprisingly become my go-to for running because the slightly open fit is comfortable, secure for me, and lets in some external noise, so I feel a bit safer on the run. The ANC is handy for general use, and the sound quality is better than that of fully open or bone-conduction headphones.

These are the best bone conduction headphones I've tested because the sound quality is a notable upgrade on others. The battery life is also great, and the fit is as reliable as ever, thanks to the headband style. I've not seen a discount this large this on the OpenRun Pro 2 before, so this is worth considering if you need to keep your ears clear on the run.

Bose's entry-level QC in-ear headphones are a great option for both running and general use. They offer top-tier ANC and excellent sound quality, and I found the fit was secure and comfortable on the run thanks to the silicone wing. They are reduced by $30 in the Spring Sale, and are an affordable alternative to the likes of the AirPods Pro 2.
