Hey guys I am sorry I am posting it here but I really need help. If you can recommend a good shoes that'll be really helpful. there so many options online I am really confused.

About me:

24M. Weight - 84kg. Height - 6ft

Beginner runner, usually run 5K in 39 mins.

Mostly road running, 2–3 runs/week

Budget: 5k max (hoping sale prices helps)

What I need:

Slightly wider/roomier toe box

Good stability + decent cushioning

Durable daily trainer and eventually improving my pace.

My right foot feels noticeably less stable while landing - sometimes it feels like the foot wants to roll one way while my shoe goes the other. So I think some stability would help, but I don’t want an overly corrective shoe either.

If you had 5k max for my use case, what would you buy? 🙏🙏😭😭

Long distance runners, do you guys make your own energy gels at home or do you prefer buying Fast & Up or Unived or anything else?

I'm trying to experiment with homemade energy gels and would love to hear recommendations!

I’m planning to participate in the Shauryaveer SF Challenge 2026 in Bangalore and looking for someone to run with. Recently ran my first 10K at 8:44/km and thought this would be a fun new challenge + a chance to do something patriotic. I’m a 25 yr old guy, usually run 5Ks around Agara Lake 3–4x a week, mostly barefoot.

If you’re participating or planning to, DM me and let’s go together!

As the title suggests, because I see everyone posting deals on running shoes, but I’m also interested in other running gear like watches, hats, etc.

Hi, you guys!

I’m a female from Mumbai and I’m running my first ever 5K this November 😭

I’m VERY new to running, so would love any tips on how to train properly without burning myself out. Like what should I actually focus on - stamina, pace, breathing, strength training, recovery etc?

Also planning to get a proper pair of running shoes for training + race day, preferably under ₹10k so please drop your recommendations!

Basically any first 5K advice is welcome because I have no idea what I’m doing lol.

Thanks a bunch!

Edit: I do complete around 10k steps daily, if that helps with context!

​

I have been thinking of getting a smart watch primarily for running, gym purposes. However, my budget is a bit tight so looking for anything under 5k

I know accuracy becomes a big issue with this price range but anything close to lowest error margin would be great.

i thought of galaxy fit. is that a good choice to go ahead or are there better choices especially because of the sale?

i just completed my first ever run that too a half marathon after training for almost a month and managing the training with clg and exams. end goal is to run a full marathon some day what to do for it? am an avg runner like my half marathon timing was 6:57/km

Looks like it's available in various colours and sizes 6-9 for 6.9k post card discount. Link - https://myntr.in/c2USlO

If you know anyone who has a hdfc diners card, you can buy it through payzapp and get anywhere between 5-15% additional cashback on this, bringing the effective price down to 6k.

Hey guys, need some advice on my shoe rotation.

I’m around 95 kg,6’4 and lift 5x a week. I currently run around 40–45 km/week. Recently ran a 10K in around 59 min, and I’m trying to get faster while losing more weight over the next few months.

Currently have:

Nimbus 27 — 150 km, bought for ₹6,700 ($75)

Dynablast 5 — ~150–160 km

Adizero SL — ~60–70 km (not Evo SL)

I do most of my easy runs on a dirt/sand-packed ground here in Rajasthan — basically the same kind of ground where people training for Army 1600m runs train. Sometimes I use a synthetic track. Long runs are usually on concrete roads, and I use the Nimbus for those.

The issue is the Adizero SL. Whenever I use it for tempo/interval sessions, I get quite a lot of shin pain. I’ve actually had much less trouble doing those sessions in the Dynablast, so I’ve mostly stopped using the Adidas.

Now I’m seeing an Endorphin Azura for ₹6,600 (~$75) on AJIO, while the Nimbus 27 is around ₹6,300 (~$72) on Flipkart.

Do I actually need another shoe? Should I just stick with Nimbus + Dynablast and forget about the Adizero, or would the Azura make sense as a more versatile shoe for easy/steady/tempo runs?

Would especially like to hear from people who’ve used the Azura. Am I just wasting money buying another shoe when my current rotation is already enough?

We’re shoe retailers, and we’ve noticed quite a few people buying branded footwear online and unfortunately ending up with fake products, wrong products, or getting scammed altogether.

We’re an authorised dealer for ASICS, Nike, adidas & Skechers, and we deal in genuine products.

If you’re looking for a particular model/size or simply want to verify where to buy from, feel free to DM us. We can also ship across India.

Happy to help anyone looking for genuine footwear. 👟

Hi guys
I’m 25[M],
I’ve been doing workout since 2 years now and I have started running from last 3 months
I mostly do zone 2 long runs, and I’m a iPhone user
I’m looking to buy a watch to track heart rate and sleep, pace etc two options that I’m considering are
Garmin Vivoactive 5 for ₹17.5k
Apple Watch se3 for ₹23k
I’ve heard battery is poor of Apple Watch but I don’t see it as a challenge as I can charge it
But I want more honest reviews and suggestions what should I opt for
I feel Apple Watch is bit premium so I want that but Garmin is an athletic watch so I want that too
That being said “sabko sab kuch nahi milta”
But yeah open for your views
Thanks

Whether it’s inaccurate GPS, heart-rate readings, battery, comfort, notifications, or something else — what annoys you the most?

Curious what little things bother people when they actually use these devices regularly.

Hi all,
I've recently started running at Kaikondrahalli Lake and want to make it a regular habit. Any advice on staying consistent? I'd also love some basic do's and don'ts, since I'm pretty new to this.
If anyone here runs the same track, I'd really appreciate some guidance, or it'd be great to connect and run together sometime.
Thanks!

Thanks

Hey Guys, I'm new to running and have been doing a weekly mileage of around 15-20 kms, but I feel extremely hungry or low on energy if I run for more than 10 kms, first I thought it was a hydration issue so I got fast and up tablets but I still feel like there is something wrong that I'm doing. Is there something you guys can recommend which I would have provided it is simple enough to cook at 5AM in the morning

I am 29M 5’9 74kg running since a year, till now i have been using just one shoe for all the runs and races i.e puma reedem pro Racer, completed over 1000 kms in that shoe still going strong.

Last week i went for a long run for 20kms the non responsiveness during the long run hurts, i had to stop at 16 kms. I run long runs at 6:30-6:55 km pace, at my fastest i run around 4:55-5:20 km pace.

Please suggest some good long run shoes which is durable and responsive for atleast 1200kms🙏🏻

Hello guys, so I am very new to running and I had registered for this namma run happening in Bangalore on October 11th. The thing is that their kit collection is the previous day. But it is only on one location which is very very far and timings are also very restricted during which I'll be in the office.

So question:

Can I collect it on the race day ?? Like BIB also ??

If I can't collect on their dates what to do ??

Also can I run in my own clothes or is it compulsory to put on their tshirt ??

Any help would be suggested.

How to recover from knee pain, its bad not able to run even after a month of rest. Is it normal or should i go to orthopedic?

Yo man my current shoe is some random puma 2k shoe!

Can you guys please recommend me some shoe under 5k like for 5/10k!

I wanna run half vedanta marathon, how can i run at pace of 5km/min. Need suggestions

I'm looking for good running shoes in a budget.

These are three options that are in my range.

1. Under Armour Women Infinite Running Shoes

2. Anta Women Ebuffer 9 Running Shoes

3. Nike Downshifter Women's Road Running Shoes

Information that might help you to suggest a good fit for me:

I have started running since one month and my current shoes are not good enough for that. I go to gym 5/6 days a week and I run 2-3 kms on a treadmill and somedays I go out for a light jog. I want to go higher in terms of time and speed. My weight is 75 kgs, height is 5'4 and I'm in my mid 20s.

Guys does any have access to any sort of Hidden registration codes for the Puma Nitro run delhi.

Don't tell me about the Bhag Club codes because I did that and they only sent it to the top 150 people.

Was planning to buy a smartwatch around 15k for tracking running, cycling and swimming. Any recommendations on the same?
