My running gear: Griffin LightRunner, MilestonePod, and Sensoria Smart Bra

<article>

Life was so much simpler when I only needed an iPod to fuel my workouts, but that was before I became obsessed with quanitifying my health and fitness. I can’t help it: There are just too many gadgets to try, all of them promising to help me run faster, longer, and smarter.</p><p>
My usual road companions are my iPhone 6 and Apple Watch, but lately I’ve been testing some new gear to improve my performance. Here are three accessories I’ve been running with lately, in addition to my phone and watch—and yes, I realize how absurd that is. Don’t be like me.</p><h2>Griffin LightRunner</h2>

I was on a months-long hunt for a high-quality, comfortable iPhone 6 armband to wear running when Griffin released its $40 <strong>LightRunner</strong> this June, and it’s been lighting up my life—literally—all summer. Finding an armband for the 4.7-inch phone, one that wouldn’t make me feel like I was running with a mini tablet strapped to my arm, proved to be a challenge. The LightRunner’s adjustable neoprene band is comfortable even during longer runs of 5+ miles (although I admit I’ve pinched my upper arm a few times by tightening the velcro strap too quickly). A mixture of cloth and rubber hold my phone securely in place without ever letting it touch my skin. The LightRunner also has a window that protects the phone’s screen while still recognizing touch, so I can pick a playlist in Apple Music before strapping the band to my arm. There’s even a hole for the Touch ID fingerprint scanner so I can quickly unlock my phone if necessary.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2977626/fitness-hardware/my-running-gear-griffin-lightrunner-milestonepod-and-sensoria-smart-bra.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
