This is a partnered post.
Last May, I completed my first-ever 5k race, Run on The River. Running has been a great addition to my fitness regimen – having a race to train for gives me a tangible goal, but I can still work my my training around my hectic schedule, since the beauty of running is that you can do it anytime, anywhere. Running requires virtually no equipment, but over the past year I’ve collected a few items that make my jogging routine easier and more fun. I’m not one to dump a lot of money on unnecessary gadgets, so I thought I’d give you a rundown of what items have been beneficial for me and how I’ve cut costs.
Saving Money on Fitness Gear 101
Mama told me you better shop around: Before I buy anything, I research my options, check out reviews and read discussion forums. For example, I subscribe to r/xxfitness on Reddit, which is a forum for active women. I’ve found it helpful to see overall opinions and recommendations from other ladies who run and share my needs. From there, I can compare product categories to see how the price and quality stack up between similar items.
Clip those coupons: Once I find something I like, I make sure to check Groupon Coupons before I place my order to see if there are any coupon codes that can save me money. Boasting a collection of 78,880 promo codes and sales across 11,833 stores, Groupon Coupons can help me find extra savings with a quick glance. Trust me, it’s worth the 60 seconds to check for a promo code before you hit “Purchase”! I’ve linked to the Groupon Coupons page for each retailer below so that you can see what sales are currently active.
Running Gear: Favorite Products & Where to Shop
Clothing & Shoes:
Activewear and shoes are the only gear you “Have” to have for running, but unfortunately, that’s also the most expensive part! I try to stock up on leggings whenever there’s a clearance sale (usually around New Year’s), but as time goes on I’ve gotten more picky and started to pay more for leggings that I know won’t pill up or ride down. With sneakers, I try to take advantage of price reductions and special coupons when I can, since they’re always so pricey. I had a run gait analysis done last year and specifically asked them to look at my shoes so I could get an idea if I was buying the right kind of footwear, since I don’t want to mess around with something that isn’t going to be supportive; I think that the price you have to spend on your shoes really varies based on personal needs.
Here’s a few deals currently running (pun intended) for shoes and clothes:
- Finish Line: This retailer specializes in running shoes, and right now they’re offering an exclusive code on Groupon Coupons for $15 off your order of $150+.
- Nike: Right now, you can get 40% off women’s running shoes and apparel at Nike along with several other deals.
- American Eagle Outfitters: They are currently offering a coupon code for $10 off a $50 purchase and have leggings marked down to $10 each, in addition to selling hoodies, tank tops and tees.
- Sears: You can buy activewear, shoes, and fitness equipment/accessories here and save $5 with free shipping.
Accessories:
There is very little that you need to go running beyond clothes and shoes, but as I’ve become a regular runner, I’ve found a few items that make my life easier. I’ve bought all of these products on Amazon, which is one of my favorite places to shop! Not only do they carry affordable items that generally have free shipping, but you can also snag Amazon coupon codes from time to time that will bring the price down even further. These are my favorite running accessories available on Amazon:
- FlipBelt – retails for just under $29: This belt is sold by Level Terrain and fits around your waist, holding a phone and keys or other small items. If I’m running around the block, I need somewhere to put my keys, and I personally can’t run without music so my phone is always there, too. I was using an armband previously, but it was getting cumbersome trying to get the phone in and out and keep it from slipping down; it also didn’t work for my house key, which actually fell out and left me searching by the road for it! So after looking around, I saw the FlipBelt recommended many times on Reddit and decided to go for it. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to use it much yet with our terrible Oregon weather this year, but I like it so far – I can put my large phone in it easily without it shifting.
- Thermos Intak Hydration Bottle – $9.99: I wanted a water bottle that could easily track my water intake over the day, and I opted for this one. It has a simple dial at the bottom that you move each time you refill it, to indicate how many bottles you’ve had that day from 1 to 6. The bottle holds 24 ounces, so I know that if I refill it 5 times, I will have met my water goal for the day. It’s a simple thing, but it helps me, and the bottle is nicely made and sturdy. I had this bottle on my list for a while and ended up ordering it in February with a few other things because there was an Amazon coupon on offer that month which saved me over $8, paying for most of the bottle!
- Batiste Dry Shampoo – under $10 per bottle: In order to keep my hair healthy, it’s important that I don’t wash it every day, so dry shampoo is my friend. Although I tie my hair up and wear headbands to try to protect it from sweat, I still feel gross after working out and didn’t feel like a little bit of powder was cutting it. Batiste seemed to be the hands-down favorite with female athletes on Reddit and once I tried it, I saw why. It thoroughly sprays your hair down and works through to get rid of oil and make your hair feel clean.
Are you a runner? What are some of your favorite accessories?
Thanks so much for sharing this. Running gear can get crazy expensive. You have to look for deals.
I’ve never been what you’d call a deal seeker, but ever since I found Groupon Coupons, I’ve been a deal seeking fiend. It’s so easy, it would just be stupid not to use it.
Groupon is such an awesome service to use to same money on your fitness gear. I never make a purchase without consulting with Groupon first!
Congrats on running your first 5k! This is a goal of mine in the next 3 years-God willing! Love the Groupon deals too!
I really need to keep better track of my water intake for my health. That Intak bottle sounds like a great solution.
You really got into running!
Thanks for presenting all the good information here; you give some nice value guidelines for running products.
These are great tips on how to save money on running gear. That stuff can really get expensive, so i love seeing coupons and deals. Every little helps!
Congrats on your 5K! I can’t live without Groupon. It’s my lifeline.
I just recently got into couching. This means I need more workout clothes! I didn’t think about Groupon! Great reminder!
Groupon is pretty awesome. I had not used it much until a couple of weeks ago. I like some of the deals that I get with them. I am going to use them more often.
I have used groupon at least three times just this week alone. So many great deals on there. Two of the things I found were gifts for a friend from out of state. Worked perfectly.
Thanks for this post. I do not run, but my boys and my best friend cousin do. Running shoes are expensive, and so with the rest of the gear but there are lots of options to choose from to save on the cost. Of course, Groupon is always there to help us save.
How true. Running shoes are not cheap and you really have to invest in a good pair to avoid injury. I am like you too, I do a lot of research too, lots of window shopping and online browsing. Groupon coupons help a lot too.
I’ve always enjoyed using groupon especially for getting things that I need without breaking my budget. I think one of the best ways to use it is for your fitness.
These are great tips! Groupon has definitely saved me a lot of money and it’s always been my go-to whenever I needed to buy something without spending too much.
We love using Groupon in our home! There are so many great deals you can find on their site!
Nice post, thanks so much for this sharing!
