If you’d like to get better at running but struggle with the motivation to put on your trainers and actually do it, a running watch could really help.
Tracking speed, distance and heart rate will give you an indication of progress over time, which can be addictive. Some watches can be synced to an app, where you can access guided training plans to coach you to run longer distances or improve your 5k time. Sharing your data with a third-party app like Strava, where you can connect with friends, will keep you accountable as you’ll have others to check up on you.
