Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is just like any other big sales event from the retailer—there’s a whole lot of good stuff on sale at low prices. The sale runs from October 6th to October 7th, and has discounts that rival Black Friday and Prime Day. Early Prime Big Deal Days are arriving just in time for the holiday season; we’re talking big savings on some of our favorite pairs of running shoes—including Brooks—as well as other must-have running accessories.

All you need to run is a good pair of running shoes, but let’s be honest, that’s the bare minimum: Plenty more is needed to maximize training, boost recovery, or simply make miles more enjoyable. Might as well scoop them up while they’re on sale

Shokz makes the best open ear headphones and we can’t recommend them enough. They sound great, are comfortable to wear through the sweatiest of workouts, and allow you to hear surroundings. The 12 hour battery life sees you through marathon miles or just an easy fall run.

A solid deal from an OG running brand, this Brooks running top is a no-frills basic that you’ll use year-round. The easy fit won’t cling to your body during sweaty runs, but won’t billow and be distracting. It wicks sweat and is UPF 50 rated for sun protection.

I’m a recent convert to Saucony running shoes (even though they’re literally over 100 years old), so I’m scouring for more pairs. The Guide 18 offer a max comfort ride and excellent cushioning for recovery or easy runs. They also make great walking shoes.

Going into fall and winter, it can get tough to head outside for your runs which is why this NordicTrack under $500 is a steal. The brand makes some of RW’s best-tested treadmills, and this model is great when running outside just isn’t an option.

BPN’s Go Gels are some of the tastiest running gels I’ve tried that go down smooth. They have a texture similar to apple sauce, easy to take down no matter if it’s mile 1 or 21.

These noise-cancelling Beats Studio Buds are sweat proof, have up to eight hours of battery, and feature a transparent mode to hear your surroundings. They have reliable Bluetooth connectivity for fewer dropouts and a built-in microphone to connect to calls or use voice assistants.

There’s nothing better than slipping into a pair of recovery slides after a long run. This no-frills pair from Adidas has plenty of cushioning as well as traction so you can go in or outside.

If you don’t want to don a hydration vest, grab this handheld water bottle. It keeps water cold, has an easy-sip top, and there’s even a pocket to stash your keys and gels.

A little compression goes a long way when it comes to running aches and pains. These compressive sleeves can offer extra support, alleviate shin splints, and help stabilize annoying Achilles tendonitis.

I can personally attest to the wonders of a patella band when dealing with runner’s knee, and was shocked how much they helped. The unobtrusive design won’t hinder your strides and the breathable material keeps you from overheating.
