Technology has become a big part of running. Watches, apps and trackers now keep tabs on everything from real time pace, performance and heart rate, through to recovery and training readiness. With more brands, devices and choices, it’s an increasingly busy space. So I dropped into the studio to join Amy Lane – Digital Editor at Women’s Health – on the Well Far podcast to chat about how you can use the gadgetry to improve your running, boost your motivation. And, importantly, to ensure the tech doesn’t take over.
The episode is packed full of insight and tips to help you find the best running tech. Whether you run for general fitness or you’re more serious about chasing those PBs.
We discuss the basics of how to choose the right watch, tracker or app for you. And I share some tips on everything from preserving battery life, to the stats that really matter for beginners and seasoned runners alike.
