It's easy to get swept up in Amazon Prime Day now it's here - however, just because it's the big week of sales for the giant retailer, doesn't mean that's where all the best deals are. I've been scouring the internet over the last few days to find where to shop for the best running trainer deals - and you may be surprised to learn that Amazon isn't on the list.
If you're a regular runner - or looking to pick up this sport given its meteoric rise in popularity over the last couple of years - you'll know the value of having a pair of the best running shoes in your collection. Needless to say though, they don't come cheap.
So, we urge you to shop around when looking for running trainer deals, and take a look at these savings from the likes of John Lewis, The Sports Edit, and JD Sports.

How do I choose running trainers?
Choosing the right pair of running trainers for you is all about your personal preference. For example, someone who runs 30 minutes a day or takes on marathons will likely need different - if not several more - pairs than those who like the occasional jog. Comfort and support should come first though regardless.
It's best to get a gait analysis if possible, before buying a pair of running trainers for the first time. This is a test done in many specialist running and footwear stores that takes a detailed look into your running style to offer recommendations on the type of shoe that would support you best.
