GEAR

Top Winter Running Shoes for 2025: Daily Runs, Speed Work & Long Distances

Winter running season is here. The roads are quieter, the air is sharper, and the miles you put in now are what set you up for glory in the spring. But to conquer the cold, you need the right gear. The right shoes make all the difference - giving you grip when the roads turn slick, cushioning that doesn’t freeze solid, and uppers that keep your toes from going numb.

We've rounded up the best running shoes to carry you through your winter training block: tough, reliable, and built to perform in the cold.

We have already seen incredible performances at Seville, Tokyo, Barcelona, and Rome, and coming up, we have runners taking on Paris, Brighton, Manchester, Boston, and London. This week, I have been sending out training schedules that include the magic word: taper. Some of my photos from last year's very hot London Marathon! For some of you,...

Stepping into Spring: How to shift from winter miles to race pace Hi Reader, Apparently, Spring starts on Sunday, so the TV and radio keep telling me. To be honest, I haven't seen much sign of it yet. I got soaked again coming back from a gym session on Friday - although there was that one sunny day last week, and the daffodils are finally out.

The hardest miles are the ones that count the most Hi Reader, Let’s be honest - when the days get shorter, the weather turns cold, and it feels like the sun is on holiday, getting out the door for a run becomes one of the hardest parts of marathon training. This time of year, it’s not just about clocking up the miles; it’s also about battling your own motivation. Setting off into the rain, facing gusts of wind, and running in what feels like perpetual gloom can make even the most dedicated...
