Ilove running, but running doesn’t always love me back. It makes me frustrated (why aren’t I getting better?), sometimes cry (yes, really) and even throw tantrums (like me quitting Parkrun after years without a personal best).

But over the past few months, the realisation has dawned on me that perhaps it’s not the running causing me problems, but the way I’m approaching it.

I’ve now worn some form of fitness tracker while running for over a decade – first to monitor my running following the birth of my first child, and then out of habit and a desire to see how I was progressing. My trusty Garmins, Polars and more have seen me through many a 5k/10k/half marathon and even (the pinnacle of my running career), the Brighton Marathon back in 2019. New Feature
