The Running Gear and Health Products Our Editors Tested in May 2022

To help you find the best shoes, apparel, and gear, the Runner's World gear team is constantly testing the newest products on roads and trails. We can’t lie, it’s a fun part of our jobs.

As dedicated runners, we have plenty of products that have become part of our daily runs and race-training routines. But we also get access to the newest gear, food, and clothing that find their way into our gym bags, home gyms, and get used in our everyday running routines. Those are the types of products you’ll find here in Things We’re Testing.

We asked our editors to share what they’ve been testing this past month, and you’ll find a range of items, including hydration packs (which are essential on long trails runs this summer) and the latest running shoes (peep that stylish On Cloudmonster). Keep in mind that our editors aren’t one and done with testing, so we’ll continue to try these products in different types of weather, distances, and terrains for further insight. Consider this your warning, however, that your shopping cart is about to get a workout.
