For marathon trainers

With dedicated marathon-specific tools and high-accuracy tracking, the Garmin Forerunner 570 is an excellent mid-range choice for road racers. It’s a refined successor to the 265 at P3,500 less—now P29,990 from P33,490 for both the 42mm and 47mm faces until May 31, 2026.

The Forerunner 570 carries a bigger, sharper, and brighter AMOLED display at 1.4 inches housed in a light aluminum bezel and available in colorful design options. The GPS smartwatch is even a better fit for triathletes as it boasts advanced recovery insights, including training readiness, an updated Elevate v5 heart sensor, and an 11-day battery life in smartwatch mode. Personalized Garmin coach training plans even allow you to tailor your fitness activities, creating custom workouts based on your performance, recovery, and health metrics.

Its PacePro pacing strategies, race predictors, and real-time stamina monitoring can help you optimize your performance on race days. A built-in mic and speaker allow you to take calls and use voice assistant on active rest days, while a feature that lets you download and play songs from your Spotify and Deezer accounts can improve pace, increase motivation, and make trainings feel easier.

For run club members

Great comfort and bounce in every stride—that’s the ANTA Men PG7 Travel Running Shoes for you, starting at P3,995. Part of the performance-driven PG7 series from ANTA, the daily trainers are designed for beginners and pros alike, recovery runs, slower paces, and long-distance sprints.

The pair offers a reliable balance of support and durability for both travel and daily runs, thanks to its plush, cushioned feel, but without the hefty price tag. Powered by Peak Gravity 7 technology, it helps reduce that damaging impact, delivering a softer, more cushioned step that takes the stress off your joints and muscles.
