Nike Race-Day System of Speed: Apex, Alphafly 4 and Swooshfly Explained
Nike has just given running-shoe obsessives quite a lot to unpack.The new Race-Day System of Speed brings together three very different shoes: the all-new Nike Apex, the next-generation Alphafly 4 and the new Swooshfly.
Skechers SKX Aero Elite: Layer by Layer
The Skechers SKX Aero Elite has landed with a spec sheet that is difficult for running-shoe nerds to ignore. There is 40mm of HYPER BURST PRO under the heel, a full-length carbon-infused Quantum Plate through the middle, a seriously curved HYPER ARC profile and just 4mm of heel-to-toe drop. The men's sample weighs 167g.
First Look: Altra Vanish Carbon 3
Spend too much time looking at modern race shoes and the recipe becomes familiar. Get close to 40mm of foam underfoot, make it PEBA, put carbon through the middle, curve the whole thing forwards and strip everything off the upper that does not need to be there.The new Altra Vanish Carbon 3 ticks most of those boxes. The interesting part is where it refuses to follow the template.
Running 100km a Week: What It Really Takes and Should You Do It?
Running 100km in a week had been sitting there in the back of my mind for a while. During my build towards the 2026 Berlin Marathon, my weekly mileage had moved from the 50-70km I would normally run into the 80s and 90s. Eventually, a three-figure week started looking less ridiculous.
Maverick Lakes Trail Run 2026: Tash's Race Day Recap
Tash had planned to run the ultra at the Maverick Lakes Trail Event. Heavy rainfall overnight left parts of the course flooded, forcing Maverick to cancel the two longer distances and move runners onto the half marathon route instead.
What Makes Altra Different? Start With the Shape of Your Foot
When selecting your running apparel there is a bewildering amount of choice, from race-ready layers to pieces designed for daily mileage. Add in names like Dri-FIT, Storm-FIT, Miler, Stride and AeroSwift and working out what you actually need for your run can become more complicated than it should be.
Best GORE-TEX Waterproof Running Shoes 2026
The first proper winter run always arrives uninvited. One day you’re cruising along in your usual daily trainer, the next you’re tiptoeing around shiny pavements, trying to ignore the cold seep through your socks, and learning that “light drizzle” can somehow soak you in two minutes flat.
First Look: adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5
The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 gave generation five a very high starting point. Soft, light and properly energetic, it pushed the Adios Pro into a much more forgiving place without losing the quick turnover that made the series such a strong marathon option in the first place.
First Look: Nike Alphafly 4
Put it beside the Alphafly 3 and there is no dramatic visual reset. The same huge ZoomX stack is there, the twin Air Zoom units still sit exposed beneath the forefoot and the sculpted carbon-racer shape is instantly familiar.
Nike Pegasus Plus 2 Review
We covered the Nike Pegasus Plus 2 when it first landed, but specs only get you so far. Rach from Pro:Direct Running has now put it through a handful of proper sessions, with most of the testing coming at tempo pace on the road and treadmill.
Meet the PDRC Team Taking on the 2026 Berlin Marathon
This September, Pro:Direct Running and adidas are taking three runners to the Berlin Marathon, representing Pro Running Club on one of the biggest race weekends in the calendar.
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.
