Been following this thread for a while. Lots of great tips from runners of all ages and levels.
I started running before last summer and struggled to run 5k in under 30 minutes. I've got that down to 22:41, 10k at 48:05 and ran the Valencia half in October at 1:47:40.
I've signed up for both the half marathon and the marathon this year so it's given me a target after a slow first half of the year where I've been running on and off.
I've been using my phone whilst running but it's a bit of pain having a brick strapped to my arm and, during a race last week, I somehow managed to chuck it down the street and smash the screen. So I'm on the lookout for a decent(ish) running watch. Any recommendations?
Ideally, I'd like one with music and that's where I'm struggling. I don't really want a smartwatch with thousands of apps but just something with GPS and spotify. Anything under £250 if any of you guys are using one that you're happy with. I've been looking at a selection of Garmin watches but could go for a Samsung one to use with my phone.
Any recommendations/reviews would be appreciated. Cheers.
