Best Apple Watch Running Apps...

I’ve spent a goodly amount of time playing with all the running apps on the Apple Watch Series 2 and the Apple Nike+ Watch. There’s really a mixed bag on there and I don’t feel any of them has really nailed it enough to replace a serious runner’s watch (by which I mean a Garmin, Polar or Suunto and the like).

However, if you’re a casual runner who doesn’t care about cadence and vertical oscillation then you might just love the Apple Watch now that it is has GPS and a longer battery and the apps it offers. If that’s you and you’re still unsure which one to download, here’s my take on the best Apple Watch apps for Wareable.com.

World Service Taster: It's Coronavirus Week On Second Captains World Service!! by The Second Captains Podcast .... It might have been one of the madder weeks in sports history - for the sport that went on, the sport that didn't go on, and the sport that may not now go on. Have a listen to this small audio taster of what we got up to on the Second Captains World Service as we talk about just how Cheltenham went ahead, why the Olympics is the Petri dish to end all Petri dishes, and thus should be cancelled for 2020... and, just for some light relief, we talk about the new Nike miracle sneakers with the sixth-best marathon runner in the world. To join the Second Captains world service, just go to secondcaptains.com/join, and we'd be delighted to have you ❤

Garmin Forerunner 920XT just arrived

I’ve got a new toy to test, the Garmin Forerunner 920 XT.

This swim-bike-run watch promises a lot and first impressions are that it looks pretty good out of the box. It's bigger than most running watches I'd normally go for but it's still nice and light.

Let’s see how good it is over the next few weeks.
