Free People Women's Get Your Flirt on Shorts: was $40 now $26 @ Amazon
I ran the Manchester Marathon this year wearing the Free People Get Your Flirt on Shorts and not only were they chafe-free and extremely breathable to wear for all 26.2 miles but they also got lots of compliments from fellow racers and the crowds. Feel good and look good for less with this excellent Prime Day discount!

Sweaty Betty Breathe Easy Crewneck Tank Top: was $68 now $29 @ Amazon
This Sweaty Betty performance running tank top is made from 91% recycled fabric that's sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and breathable. Featuring a slim fit, wide crew neck, mesh stripe racerback for extra ventilation, and a flattering curved hem, it's designed to keep you comfortable and stylish on your runs.

Osprey Dyna 6L Women's Running Hydration Vest: was $129 now $97 @ Amazon
While there are cheaper vests out there, Osprey is known for producing quality and durable adventure gear and this runs true for the Dyna Hydration Vest. Ready to conveniently look after your hydration needs on the go, the vest includes a 1.5L water reservoir with easy access. It also features multiple mesh pockets for essentials and valuables, along with padded mesh straps and adjustable chest straps for comfort and stability.

Asics Gel-Kayano 30: was $160 now $99 @ Amazon
We recently reviewed the more recent Asics Gel-Kayano 31 and found it was pretty similar to the Gel-Kayano 30, which is currently available on Amazon for much less. Both the women’s and men’s versions are on sale for under $100, the lowest price we've seen. This is an excellent deal for one of the most comfortable stability shoes on the market.

Garmin Forerunner 265S: was $449 now $399
The Garmin Forerunner 265 stands out as the best overall Garmin watch for most users, offering a bright, well-saturated screen, impressive battery life, and accurate GPS. Available in two sizes, this particular model is the smaller option.
