Key run commuting essentials include supportive running shoes (road or trail, depending on your route), a lightweight running backpack for carrying work essentials, weather-appropriate clothing such as a waterproof or windproof jacket, and high-visibility or reflective gear for safety. Consider a sports watch and wireless headphones for tracking and motivation.

Select running shoes based on your commuting surface. Opt for cushioned road running shoes for pavements and urban routes, or waterproof trail running shoes for country tracks and mixed terrain. A gait analysis at a specialist retailer can help ensure the best fit and support for your stride.

A good running backpack should be lightweight, minimise bounce, and distribute weight evenly. Look for adjustable straps, breathable materials, secure compartments for work items, and hydration sleeves or pockets for water bottles. Reflective details are also important for visibility during early or late commutes.

Be visible by wearing high-visibility or reflective clothing and accessories, especially in low-light conditions. Plan your route in advance, use well-lit paths, and let someone know your commuting schedule. Carry a phone and any necessary ID for emergencies.

Yes, use a sports watch or GPS-enabled device to track distance, pace, and time. Many models also monitor heart rate and calories burned, helping you measure progress and set goals. Wireless headphones can keep you motivated with music or podcasts during your commute.

Trusted brands for run commuting include New Balance, Garmin, Brooks, Ronhill, Asics, HOKA, and On. These brands provide a range of running shoes, backpacks, jackets, and accessories designed for comfort, performance, and safety on your daily commute.
