The wheels on the bus go run, run, run... Well, that’s the case for Runner’s World UK, at least. At the 2025 London Landmarks Half Marathon, held on Sunday 6 April, RW felt that wearing appropriate running shoes and race day attire was not enough of a look. We also felt that there was more to be achieved than just a medal at the finish line. We decided, therefore, to run this popular half marathon dressed as – that’s right – an iconic London bus, in pursuit of a world record.

Lightweight running shoes have come a long way as both racing flats and daily trainers. Once upon a time, to shave grams on a shoe and get it down to a competitive weight, brands had to make considerable compromises in comfort and stability — but that’s no longer the case. Thanks to lighter midsole foams and meshy upper materials, some of our favourite supportive and maximally cushioned shoes now sit well below 225g on the scale.

For many of us, a decent portion of our day has us wearing our leggings. We may head to a pilates class or out for a run, and then take care of errands, go to work, or meet up with friends. Not only do leggings need to be comfortable, supportive, wicking, and flattering (yes!), they should also have some level of functionality. What’s better than a pair of comfortable, supportive, wicking, and flattering running tights? Ones with built-in, secure, and discreet pockets.

Affrontare le corse all’aperto nei mesi più freddi può essere una vera sfida, soprattutto con le giornate che si accorciano e le temperature in calo. Anche se il solstizio d’inverno è ormai alle spalle, vestirsi nel modo giusto può fare la differenza tra una corsa piacevole e un’esperienza poco confortevole. Se leggings termici, gilet da running e giacche impermeabili sono elementi essenziali per l’abbigliamento invernale, la chiave per affrontare il freddo sta spesso negli accessori.
