As the new year approaches, you’ll no doubt have that dreaded sense of responsibility — “I should finally start running, shouldn’t I?”
Come on, finally start your running journey here
It seems everyone is taking up the most accessible sport in the world, especially with one of the best free exercise apps on the market, NHS’ Couch to 5K. But there’s no use making the leap without some best-selling running equipment to make sure you’re not damaging your body as you go…
If you've never tried out Couch to 5K, developed by the NHS in collaboration with then-running-newbie Josh Clark, or haven’t touched the app since lockdown, we encourage you to do so as the most affordable way to keep fit in 2025.
Life after completing the Couch to 5K
However, with this new adventure comes the need for top-quality gear to get the most out of your run.
New Balance’s FuelCell Rebel v4 Shoes
Available in women's and men's sizes
Three reasons why the FuelCell Rebel v4 Shoes are the best on the market:
- The specially-designed FuelCell foam delivers a propulsive feel to help drive you forward
- The geometric midsole extends wider and stacks higher than predecessor
- The lightweight, breathable mesh with FantomFit for added bonded support
What do the reviews say?
“Amazing trainers. Lightweight, great soles, fantastic performance. Any knee or hip aching I experienced after long runs has disappeared since using these trainers.”
“Smashing PRs in these bad boys! I highly recommend it! Took 8 minutes off my previous half marathon time 🤯”
“I have been a runner for 10 years and I have tried all of the different brands of running shoes. These are light, extremely comfortable and very responsive. Some of my favourites.”
