It's easy to overdo it when buying tech aimed at helping you in sports. I ran my first marathon last year, and I kept it simple with just a few pieces of tech.
The fitness world is littered with opportunities to buy tech aimed at enhancing your physical performance. No matter your sport of choice or personal goals, there’s a deep rabbit hole you can go down. It’ll cost plenty of money, but the gains can be marginal — and can honestly just be a distraction from what you should actually be focused on. Running is certainly susceptible to this.
Related A great running watch When it comes down to it, the only thing that truly matters in this list is my smartwatch. Without it, I’m lost. The watch in question is the Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar — a beast of a contraption that I’m downright inseparable from. Garmin doesn’t deliver a particularly slick interface, and there’s a bit of a steep learning curve involved with getting comfortable with its features, but it’s all worth it. Garmin watches simply deliver incredibly accurate GPS tracking and consistent data recording that you can rely on for making all of your training and fitness decisions while you build up to a marathon.
Much like buying an expensive Garmin for tracking your runs, you’ll quickly find value in paying $80 per year for Strava’s premium subscription to unlock additional features. The biggest benefits for me have been setting and tracking goals, creating custom routes , and getting various insights into my improvements in performance over time. Strava strikes a great balance of providing a good core experience for free, while also offering strong value in its paid tier.
Whether the Elite 7 Active will work for your ears is a personal question. But the Jabras fit my ears nicely, and they have the core features I need. The big thing I look for in running earbuds is physical buttons for controlling volume and playback, and the Elite 7 Active have them. Touch controls don’t work so well when sweat is involved and you’re trying to tap and slide on capacitive controls while moving. Trust me.
