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.

One of the most admirable pillars of running culture is its simplicity — and, in turn, the approachability that comes with it. Almost anyone can lace up and go for their first run, setting the barrier to entry as low as finding a good-fitting pair of running shoes. The one problem? For big runners, it can sometimes seem like the industry’s priorities are pointed away from you.

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.
