Welcome to OPUMO's weekly roundup of our favourite shoppable finds. From outerwear to decorative objects and everything in between.
What started as a beer-fuelled idea dreamt up by two friends in a 1970s London pub is now the world's largest marathon. Now, with only a few weeks left until London's historic streets become a racetrack for the 46th time, we've started window shopping for the perfect running kit to log last-minute training miles and cross that iconic finish line on The Mall in style.
Goldwin Sheer Nylon Wind Jacket
Few brands hit the brief better than Goldwin when it comes to aesthetically pleasing sportswear, and this jacket is proof. Cut from a semi-transparent fabric that highlights the seams as a design element, it's light, packable and perfect for taking the edge off windy training sessions.
Satisfy Rippy Air Trail Cap
If you're out there logging big miles, the sensible thing to do is protect your head from harmful UV rays. Thankfully, sensible and stylish don't have to be mutually exclusive, thanks to this eye-catching, UV-blocking cap from Satisfy.
Meller Dua Sunglasses
And the UV protection goes double when it comes to your eyes. These sporty shades from Meller are perfect for running, and they're a bit of a steal at less than £50.
Falke Compression Socks
Compression socks have benefits for training, racing and recovery. If you're not wearing them, you should be, and Falke makes some of the best in the business.
Maurten 100 Gel
You might have seen Maurten's slickly marketed gels being guzzled by your favourite running and cycling influencers, but it's not all hype. These things may be expensive, but they taste good and they're easy on the stomach too. Just make sure to ease yourself in by using them on training runs before the big day. That way you can preempt any unexpected toilet breaks when you're in the middle of a PB attempt.
Raide LF 2L Running Belt
You don't want your phone and gels slapping against your thighs with every step, interrupting your rhythm. Instead, secure them in this low-profile belt that holds essentials tightly in place under a singlet or T-shirt.
On LightSpray Cloudmonster 3 Hyper
On's LightSpray tech allows the Swiss brand to create slip-on running shoes that are featherlight and look the business. The LightSpray Cloudmonster 3 Hyper is the latest offering in the range, and is expected to launch in the coming weeks.
Gnuhr Warp Shorts
A bit weird? Yes, but that's why Gnuhr appeals to us in the first place. This unconventional design reimagines what a pair of running shorts can be, and we're here for it.
COROS Pace Pro Running Watch
If it's not on Strava, it didn't happen. Make sure you don't miss a single metric with a proper running wearable, such as this one from COROS.
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Headphones
Ears are probably the first body part that springs to mind when it comes to listening to music, but have you ever considered using your jawbone instead? These clever headphones from Shokz (which happens to be an official London Marathon sponsor) bypass the eardrum, sending vibrations through your bones instead. This leaves your ears free to soak up all of the race-day atmosphere without having to sacrifice your motivational tunes.
