Pro:Direct Running

Some runs are written into the training plan. Others happen because the rain stopped, you found an hour and the legs finally felt good. Pro:Direct Running brings together the shoes, clothing and gear for both.

Shop Men's Running Shoes and Women's Running Shoes from Nike, adidas, ASICS, HOKA, New Balance, On, PUMA, Saucony, Mizuno, Salomon and more, alongside running clothing, socks, watches, headphones, nutrition and accessories. From first 5Ks and easy miles to marathon blocks, trail loops, club sessions and race day, the range is built around the running you actually do.

Running Shoes

The right running shoe depends on the session, surface and feel you prefer.

For regular pavement mileage, daily trainers give you the cushioning and durability to handle most of the week. Trail running needs a different outsole and more protection once the route moves onto mud, gravel and uneven ground, which is why we keep dedicated Men's Trail Running Shoes and Women's Trail Running Shoes separate from the road range.

Then there is the way the shoe feels. Some runners want soft cushioning for easy miles and long runs. Others prefer a lighter, more flexible ride when the pace comes up. Structured shoes add guidance for runners who prefer more support, while plated options sit further towards faster training and race day.

The brand choice is just as broad. Browse Men's Nike Running Shoes or Women's Nike Running Shoes, with Pegasus and Vomero covering regular training alongside Vaporfly and Alphafly at the faster end.

Men's ASICS Running Shoes and Women's ASICS Running Shoes span cushioned daily miles, structured support and quicker training through ranges such as Gel-Nimbus, Gel-Kayano, Novablast and Superblast.

You can also shop Men's New Balance Running Shoes and Women's New Balance Running Shoes, from the cushioned 1080 and structured 860 through to lighter Rebel and plated SuperComp options.

If you already know the shoe you want, go straight into silos such as Men's Nike Pegasus Running Shoes, Women's Nike Pegasus Running Shoes, Men's New Balance Rebel Running Shoes or Women's New Balance Rebel Running Shoes. The deeper shoe pages can do the technical work. The homepage just needs to get you into the right part of the range.

Running Clothing

Good running clothing tends to disappear once you start moving.

Shop Men's Running Clothing and Women's Running Clothing across tops, shorts, tights, leggings, jackets, vests, base layers and sports bras.

Summer may only need a breathable top and shorts. Winter runs usually mean a few more decisions around warmth, wind and rain. Either way, the aim is the same: kit that manages the conditions without giving you something else to think about five miles in.

Running Accessories

The small bits of kit become surprisingly important once running turns into a routine.

Running Socks help manage comfort inside the shoe when the mileage builds. Running Watches keep pace, distance and training data easy to follow, while Running Headphones cover everything from a short easy run to the long-run playlist you have heard far too many times.

For longer sessions, Running Nutrition and hydration become part of the plan rather than something remembered halfway round. Bottles, belts, bags, caps, gloves, lights and recovery products fill in the rest of the running kit when you need them.

Pro:Direct Running

Pro:Direct Running covers the week rather than one version of running. Easy Monday. Club night. Treadmill session. Wet trail loop. Sunday long run. Race morning.

Start with men's or women's running shoes, then narrow by brand, model, surface or session. Add the clothing and accessories that make sense for your training, and head into Running Sale when price is part of the decision.

Running Obsessed is knowing that the shoe for a relaxed 5K probably is not the shoe you reach for on race morning, and that sometimes the best bit of kit is the one you completely forget about once the run gets going.
