What do you use to track runs? Do you just use your phone or do you have something like a garmin?
I have been using my phone but since upgrading to iPhone 6 I don't like it as much! It's rather big on my arm and the armband brand that I like worked well with the smaller phone but now the new one is chaffing my arm. Oh and Nike changed their app display and I now hate it (sure I could find a different app though). Am thinking of maybe getting a garmin and that I'd find this easier and less obtrusive (and hopefully doesn't hurt! Like my current situation).
Just wondering what everyone uses and if you like it. I'm looking at just a basic garmin (forerunner 10) since it's not too big and least expensive.
Re: Runners ?
I use a Garmin watch. Sometimes I will also track with my phone using either MapMyRun or RunKeeper. I hate using armbands, so I use a running belt. I keep my phone/keys/iPod in it...I thought I would hate running with it, but I don't notice that I'm wearing it.
I used to use the Nike app on my iPod, but found it usually said I was much faster/ran further than I actually did.
This is what I use: http://www.amazon.com/Amphipod-AirFlow-Microstretch-Black-Silver/dp/B0055Q494M/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1434547375&sr=1-1&keywords=Amphipod+AirFlow+Microstretch+Belt
I know a lot of people like the flip belt too: http://www.amazon.com/Level-Terrain-FlipBelt-Waist-Pouch/dp/B00JF9DU4U/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1434547467&sr=1-1&keywords=flip+belt
I know people who use the Nike app without complaints, it may have just been an issue the Nike app on my iPod!
