Decathlon's Black Friday sale ends at midnight: Save up to 50% on running tech and kit

Voted 'best for beginners' by our experts, the Forerunner 55 comes with all the basics, including built-in GPS and optical heart rate monitoring, plus 20 hours’ GPS run time on a single charge and a general usage battery life that’ll get most runners through at least a week’s training. It’s small, light and comfortable and though the small screen isn’t as easy to read or as luxe as pricier watches, the display does a good enough job in most light conditions.

The Coros-powered GPS 900 by Decathlon definitely punches above its price tag, delivering unrivalled bang-for-buck staying power: 35 hours in full GPS mode, or 80 hours in Ultramax low-power mode. That outlasts much pricier watches like the Garmin Forerunner 965 and even the older Fenix 6 watches.

The Kiprun also features Coros’ EvoLab training tools with a strong suite of performance, recovery and activity insights, including running performance, VO2 max estimates, training load, impact and fatigue feedback. Navigation functions stretch to breadcrumb route following, off-route alerts and back-to-start guidance.

This running chest light delivers 900 lumens of powerful, daylight-style brightness, illuminating up to 30 meters ahead. Vital for those winter night runs and early morning workouts, the comfortable chest device has three lighting modes and lasts up to 2.5 hours.

Shokz premium bone-conduction headphones send audio vibrations through your cheekbones to your inner ears, bypassing your lugholes. The open-ear fit boosts safety, keeping you connected to the world – and the runners – around. They boast a newer version of the bone conduction tech than the OpenRun (below) but there’s not much difference in quality. However, the 2 hours extra runtime battery and a faster charging time might make it worth the extra outlay.

These bone conduction headphones are ideal from a safety perspective and come with surprisingly little compromise on sound quality. There’s also a comfort bonus – you don’t have to ram and twist them into your ears as you do with some buds. Battery life is also solid (roughly eight hours of playback), while a nano protective coating and watertight rubber gaskets make them fully sweatproof and waterproof.

With three vibration levels and four interchangeable heads, Decathlon's own-brand massage gun is an affordable option to help you up your recovery game. On a single charge, it'll last for 45 minutes.

An elite-level running shoe at a lower price point. Yes, you read that right. The Adizero SL utilises some of the best tech in the Adizero range, but at a fraction of the price. Although there's sadly no carbon plate in the SL (which may put PB-seeking runners off), for runners looking to take their training up a notch, this is a great, lightweight, responsive and fast shoe for those hard tempo and interval sessions.

Stay safe and prepared on every run with this adjustable unisex reflective vest. It has ample storage, including a front phone holder and bottle holder, plus a larger compartment at the back.

Upgrade your running essentials with these cushioned socks, thoughtfully crafted with a blend of recycled and renewable materials. Designed for comfort and performance, they feature a soft feel, arch support and targeted cushioning at the heel and toe. Linked toe seams help prevent chafing, ensuring a distraction-free run. Available in a convenient six-pair pack.

Designed with reflective bands and an approved visibility rating, this running jacket ensures safety during both day and night runs, from up to 50 metres. The soft-shell membrane repels light rain, while back ventilation openings, along with two side zips, provide extra cooling. A reliable layer for protection and breathability in winter conditions.

You'll never be left behind in this highly visible tee. Reflective logos and trim enhance safety after dark, while moisture-wicking fabric keeps you cool and dry by drawing sweat away from the body. Lightweight and breathable, it’s perfect for staying comfortable and seen during every run.

For those brave runners (like RW's Ali Ball, who won't be seen dead in leggings no matter how Arctic the temperatures get), these are a bargain at less than £8. The stretch fabric and wide waistband offer exceptional comfort, while the zipped pocket provides a secure space for your personal essentials.

Decathlon has thought of everything with this jacket. Built in thumb holes and mittens will keep your hands warm, while strategically placed openings at the back can allow heat to escape. There is an opening on each sleeve, too, so your watch can be easily read and two zipped pockets to store essentials. Slip it on over a long sleeve tee when temperatures drop between 0 and 10°C and you are good to go!
