GADGETS & TECH

• Garmin Fenix 5S Plus ($399) – Garmin’s latest line of Fenix is up to the 6, so if you’re in the hunt for a TON of features, there are some legit deals out there on the 5 series, which is still so fancy, it feels silly to call it ‘outdated’. Otherwise, the 6 Series will set you back a couple hundred dollars more.
• Garmin Venu ($249.99) – In case the Fenix is data overload, but you still want a fancy colorful screen.
• AfterShokz Open Ear Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones – If you can’t live without music on a run, but want to live because you can actually hear oncoming traffic.
• Strava Subscription ($59.99/yr) – Strava is free to use on its own, but being a data nerd, I love the bonus insights that come with the subscription. They help to keep me accountable while COVID is keeping us all away from start lines! 

• Osprey Dyna 1.5 Running Hydration Vest ($89.95) – The day I switched from a handheld water bottle to a vest was the day my running life changed for the better.
• Athleta Flurry Reflective Headband ($28) – Daylight, what’s that?
