On our website, we test various running products: clothing, equipment, and food. This allows us to provide you with expert and real-world evaluations of these products to save you time, nerves, and money.
How do we evaluate the suitability of a product for running?
When evaluating a running product, we take several factors into account. Here are some of the key ones that allow us to assess the quality and suitability of a running product:
- Comfort: Running can be hard on the body, so it’s important to choose products that provide a comfortable fit and support. This can include factors such as cushioning, breathability, and flexibility.
- Durability: Running can cause significant wear and tear on products, so it’s important to choose products that are built to last. This may include factors such as the quality of materials and construction.
- Functionality: Running products should serve a purpose and make running easier and more enjoyable. This can include factors such as traction on the surface of the shoe, moisture-wicking fabric in the clothing, and easy-to-use accessory features.
- Cost: The cost of a running product should be considered in relation to its quality and functionality. A higher price may be justified if the product provides a significant benefit to your running experience.
- Reviews: When selecting products to test, we also read reviews from other runners who have used the product. This allows us to pre-select the best products for testing.
Overall, when evaluating a running product, it’s important to consider how well it fits your specific needs and preferences as a runner.
