#62 - Do you need a Running Watch? - A Deep Dive on Wearables
Update: 2025-10-30
Description
Tommy dives into the world of running wearables and asks the question: have they made us better runners, or just more distracted ones?
He explores how data can both empower and control us, the rise of Strava culture, and why intuition still matters more than metrics. A grounded, practical listen for runners who want to train smarter, not just more measured.
