We take a look at the latest running gear and accessories to help you on your next marathon
Oakley – Bisphaera Speed – £168.00
The latest trendy design from sports eyewear specialists Oakley features a dual lens frame for grip and superior coverage at any speed.
The Unobtainium Earssocks and Nosepad use a patented material to provide maximum comfort and grip through sweat to keep the frame non-slip.
The O-Matter thermoplastic frame provides improved strength and flexibility, as well as ultra-lightweight.
And of course, the lens provides ultra-clear visibility and protection in a wide range of lighting conditions, perfect for changeable weather when you’re on the move.
AG1 – Annex – from £79.00
AG1 has become one of the most recognizable names in daily nutritional supplements, providing a convenient all-in-one solution. At its core, AG1 is a powdered greens drink designed to replace multiple supplements, combining over 75 ingredients including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, prebiotics and plant extracts in one daily serving.
One of the main strengths of the AG1 is its comfort. Instead of managing a complex array of tablets and capsules, simply mix a scoop with water to deliver a broad spectrum of nutrients. This makes it especially attractive to busy individuals and athletes who want a simplified approach to daily supplementation. It effectively acts as a multivitamin, probiotic and greens powder in one.
Nutritionally, AG1 is comprehensive. One serving provides more than 100% of the recommended daily intake for several key vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and the full range of B vitamins, which play important roles in energy production and overall metabolic function. The inclusion of probiotics also supports gut health, potentially aiding digestion and microbiome balance.
Another advantage is its broad spectrum health focus. Along with essential nutrients, AG1 includes adaptogens and herbal compounds that target stress management, immune function and recovery.
Importantly, the AG1 is NSF certified for sports, meaning it has been independently tested for banned substances and contaminants, an important consideration for competitive athletes. It’s also suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences, being vegan, gluten-free and free of artificial additives.
Sunny – Paldino Sunglasses – £67.95
With a larger, wraparound design, these glasses provided reliable protection with a stylish appeal. The dual bridge design helps with ventilation and the lightweight construction provides greater comfort on the move.
The Helio PC lens is polarized and blocks 100% of harmful UVA, UVB and UV400 wavelengths for the best protection in the sun and comes with a lifetime warranty for added peace of mind.
Superfeet – Run Pacer Elite – £85.00
Featuring a Carbitex carbon fiber plate and SuperRev responsive foam base, these soles aim to add a super shoe feel to your everyday trainers.
The combination of the two materials, often found in the latest race day models, allows for a similar impact to be felt in a training shoe, along with the ability to carry that added drive from shoe to shoe.
The insoles are soft and flexible, and the added drive from the plate really gives your everyday shoes that extra level of toe spring.
Les Mills – Sculpt Bands – £49.99
For the ultimate in strength and conditioning, these high-quality resistance bands help tone muscles, feel strong, and improve balance and coordination. The simple-to-use app provides easy-to-follow instructions for new users, and the varying resistance of the bands makes advanced workouts easy.
Versatile and portable, the lightweight yet durable bands come with a carrying bag and are easy to use at home or while traveling for added resistance and stretch.
Truefuels – Fuel, hydrate, adjust
Truefuels is a new but established player in the performance nutrition industry, co-founded by Olympic triathlete Alistair Brownlee. Based on elite-level insight and sports science, the brand focuses on pure, functional products designed specifically for endurance athletes. One of its most innovative offerings is CoreCtrl, an application aimed at improving performance in challenging environments.
Unlike traditional sports nutrition, which mainly focus on energy supply or hydration, Truefuels takes a more physiological approach. CoreCtrl is designed to support the body’s natural thermoregulatory processes, essentially helping athletes better manage internal heat during exercise.
The formulation combines key electrolytes with ingredients such as taurine and piperine to improve fluid balance, muscle function and heat dissipation. The intended effect is an enhanced sweat response and more efficient evaporative cooling, which helps reduce internal heat build-up during prolonged or high-intensity exertion.
From a performance perspective, this means greater stability under stress. By supporting cardiovascular function and reducing heat stress, the supplement aims to allow athletes to sustain their efforts for longer.
Another advantage is its integration into a broader fuel strategy. Truefuels products are designed to work together, combining hydration, electrolyte balance and energy delivery with this new heat management hub.
Importantly, the brand emphasizes clean, minimal ingredients, avoiding unnecessary additives and focusing on functional results.
Claymore – Heady3 – £49.95
While it may be lighter in the evening, for some runners their schedule means training at night. This lightweight and versatile wearable light has 6 light modes and 4 LED colors to suit any environment.
With an adjustable headband and tilt angle, the unit can illuminate your footsteps as well as the path ahead. It is easy to charge via USB and provides 4 to 60 hours of light depending on output power.
Tracksmith – Spring Marathon Range – From £70.00
This range of spring marathon-inspired apparel is perfect for training and race day. Celebrate your run in Tokyo, Boston or London with Tracksmith’s stylish collection of shorts, singlets and t-shirts available.
