It’s the time of year where deals abound, but are they actually deals?? After testing lots of gear and watching prices, here are the top running gear deals for Black Friday.
In no specific order, here are some of the best deals I’ve found that will help your running!
I have reached out to brands in advance, but will be updating the Black Friday running deals all week because people are rolling things out.
As always, if you see something that’s like I MUST HAVE IT, thanks for clicking through.
😃 It’s like tipping your server because I do often earn a few pennies on affiliate sales.
Black Friday Running Deals
Updating this list consistently as I receive new information, but I reached out to many of the brands I’ve reviewed over the years to know in advance!
1. Jaybird Vista 2 Wireless Earbuds
See current deal >>
35% off normal dropping them to $135
These are the earbuds you see me running in day in and day out.
- Active noise canceling and AWARENESS – so that means it let’s in all sounds and it’s like you don’t have them in
- Super long battery life
- Earbuds can be tracked like find my phone
- Can adjust your sound type through the app – so mine tends to be set for better to hear audiobooks
**NOTE: I’ve seen that the Bose earbuds are on sale, but I don’t recommend them. We had major issues when them cutting out, especially in a gym setting.
**JUST ADDED
Aftershokz – the bone conducting headphones that many of my running friends love are up to 38% off. The Aeropex are going to have a longer battery life and offer some noise cancelling. They’re also rated higher for water, so you could head out in the rain no issues.
1.2. Oakley Sunglasses
HAAA last minute add because I get questions about what sunglasses I’m wearing allllll the time and I never see these marked down!
Oakley Frogskin Clear – 30% off at $99
They don’t fog up, and well I just like the way they look ha!
2. InsideTracker – Athlete Blood Testing
InsideTracker Discount Code: BROOKSGIFT — will get you $200 off the Ultimate package and Free Innerage ($179 value)
Go here to snag this deal >>
I talk a lot about the benefits of checking your blood as an athlete, but I know it can feel like an investment. It is.
It’s an investment in your health so that you can keep running strong and overall improve your health to have more energy, sleep better, have better skin…I mean all of it you can learn from your blood!
- Figure out what foods would optimize your training
- See what foods might help lower that cholesterol or boost that B12
- BONUS for Run Clubbers, we can chat more about your findings in the group to help with ideas.
3. GPS Watches
Each year on Black Friday I have seen some of the best discounts on watches from a variety of brands. This year looks to be no exception!
If you’ve been on the hunt and reading all my posts looking for the best running watch, here are the one’s on sale that I would recommend (NOTE SOME SALES WON’T SHOW UNTIL FRIDAY):
- Garmin 45 – best watch for beginners! (23% off $129)
- Polar Vantage V2 – this is my current watch favorite thanks to great features and accurate HR! (right now 20% off on site, which brings it down to $400! Use code PolarCyber21)
- Polar watches are all a better deal on their site than Amazon
- Garmin Fenix 6s – Best trail running watch, excellent maps and tons of features (31% off)
- Garmin 745 – A notch below the Fenix, but still a top end watch (20% off, $499)
- Suunto 7 – Beloved by many trail runners (30% off, $279)
4. At Home Treadmill Deals
Many of you said this was big on your list and unfortunately this year the deals are slim.
They are sold out and back ordered and don’t need to run many deals.
But I found a few!!
- The treadmill I recommend ALL THE TIME is $400 off — NordicTrack 1750
- Nordictrack 2950 (my treadmill) is marked down $1,000.
- Nordictrack 2450 same price as 1750 with a few upgrades like larger screen
- Sole F80 (my recommended budget treadmill) is marked down $1,100
- Nordictrack INCLINE Trainer marked down $1,100. Definitely best price I’ve seen if you want that massive 40% incline
- Nordictrack Bike – Half the price of a Peloton bike, lots of workouts and you can always pay $12 for the Peloton app. ($200 off)
- Bowflex Treadmill 10 – $300 off + free shipping. This really is a great model that has both incline and DECLINE, which I love for training. It’s going to be sturdy and hit on what runners need.
- This Website is where I have been finding the best prices throughout the year, but like many they are out of stock on a number of treadmills. So worth perusing.
Weights And Accessories
- Bowflex 552 Select Tech Dumbbells – $50 off + Free shipping — massive win as this means you now have adjustable dumbbells that are truly going to allow you to push your strength. Rarely on sale.
- Spin Bike – Now we’re 1/8th of the price and you can still use the app!
5. Hydration Packs
This has to be your most requested item when I ask what you want as a gift or what I should do for a giveaway. So I tried my best to find the deals!
- Nathan Sports is going to be 25% off on Cyber Monday, so that’s your best deal here (the Pinnacle is what you see me running in most often lately)
- This site is usually selling last years models – a huge variety up to 50% off
6. Previnex
We had a huge discussion about this on Instagram the other day, but stop taking supplements of low quality.
And yes nearly all runners can benefit from probiotics to improve gut health, which improves immune health…and Fish oil because it helps inflammation!
After lots of research and reviewing things like Consumer Labs, Previnex is the brand I use. It’s the only fish oil that doesn’t make my stomach hurt.
Checkout their Black Friday 20% off deals and use code BF2021>>
- Probiotics (I use daily)
- Fish Oil (incredible for helping inflammation, I use daily)
- Joint Health (David has been using and helping his hands after all those breaks)
- Nourify Meal Replacement Shake
- Multivitamin and Brain health
7. Massage Gun!!
I kind of scoffed at these for awhile thinking eehhh people probably don’t really use it.
Then I got mine and guess what I use it every single day and in fact my PT recommended it as we were working on my hips.
Luckily you DO NOT NEED the crazy expensive one’s and today a whole BOATLOAD are on sale.
- I like a minimum of 8 speeds
- Most aren’t crazy loud, but some are a little quieter (wouldn’t be my main reason for buying)
- Should come with a variety of heads to hit different muscle areas
- Most are VERY similar
Checkout the best massage gun deals >>
Yes the Theragun is marked down $100…but all the ones above are under $100!
8. Running Socks
YESSSSSSS you know I love good running socks and Swiftwick are some of my favorite because they don’t stink!
That means when traveling I can reuse them or pack them away and my whole luggage doesn’t suddenly smell like sweaty sock.
They’re also very thin which for me means less blisters and sweat in summer.
On their site 25% off everything — see deal >> (The Aspire is my go to)
Check current sale price on Amazon >>
OR Balega which is soooo wonderfully cushioned is 25% too >>
9. Small Business By Runners for Runners
I asked on IG for anyone you knew with a small business that had gear we needed to know about! It’s not always easy because it’s harder as a small business to run big sales (I KNOW).
- Erica Sara Designs – 10% off with code GRATEFUL and free US shipping in US over $100. I bought a bracelet that says runtothefinish, not because I’m a total narcissist, but because it’s actually a reminder to me not to quit. Nov 23-29th
- Sarah Marie Design Studio – It’s fair to say you see me in one of her sweatshirts in about 80% of the videos where I’m talking…I like people knowing I’m a runner, ha!
- Stiletto Running – 25% off with code BLACKFRIDAY. Yup, my Run To the Finish shirts are done through her, but not available right now…sorry!!! Nov 22-28th

10. Running Clothes and Accessories
- LULULEMON – All the Align Tights, a bunch of short sleeve and tanks and the Rain Chaser Jacket are $20-$30 off. So good, but nothing mind blowing.
- Athleta – Offering a 20% off discount. They actually have tights that are long enough and some good winter options, so a worthwhile discount.
- Ibex is all about merino!! Yes the stuff that wicks away the sweat to keep you feeling warm in winter and cool in summer. 15% off sidewide. I love their shirts and underwear for running, next year they have a seamless sports bra coming and I CANNOT wait.
