Reliable Running Gadgets For Active Travellers

Keeping fit on holiday can be a challenge, so I am recommending five incredible gadgets to make it easier for you to stay on track.These high-tech products are designed to help runners achieve their goals. They can be used at home but are also suited to the runner with a desire to explore the world.

Running is a great way to maintain fitness abroad as you don’t need any equipment and you can find good running routes almost anywhere. Let’s get started!

AltraTorin IQ

These are a pair of smart shoes which provide you with all the info you might want to know about your runs. Perfect if you are packing light, these shoes collect data using pressure sensors in the soles of the shoe. They measure how your foot is landing as it hits the ground, how your stride changes throughout a run and then provides live coaching to help you improve.

Lumo Run Sensor

If you don’t like the idea of talking shoes, then the Lumo is for you. Ahead of the game in terms of stats, this product has seven different sensors yet only weighs twenty-five grams. It clips onto the back of your shorts or leggings and tracks bounce, cadence, pelvic movement and sends the info to a handy app so you can study it later.

The app also provides pre- and post-run exercises based on your form. The Lumo is ideal for travellers as it has an impressive twenty days of running time per charge.

FlipBelt

The FlipBelt is a bit of an oddity in this list as it is not a piece of tech. However, it is a necessary bit of kit. The soft, comfortable fabric belt can easily hold your credit cards, phone, cash, snacks and even a water bottle. Ideal for travellers who don’t want to leave valuables in their rooms, the FlipBelt stays firmly in place and comes in a range of sizes.

Jaybird X3

The Jaybird X3 neckband-style earbuds are well-suited to runners with their sweat-proof design and Bluetooth functionality. They have a great battery life so are good for long distancers and have a range of fitting options, so you can find the fit that is best for you.

LifeBeam Vi

With the LifeBeam Vi you receive an AI running coach delivering its wisdom straight into your ears. The Vi learns about your running by tracking your heart rate, cadence, speed, elevation, distance etc. You’ll get encouragement and tips as you run, as well as location specific hints, such as how to run in the rain or heat.

Gadget Travel Insurance for Athletes 

Remember to protect these cool gizmos by taking out gadget travel insurance. For athletes, a break in training can set you back weeks. Therefore, protecting your tech in case of theft or damage is very important. Before you leave, take out gadget travel insurance. For athletes travelling with lots of gear, a good insurance policy means that you can be back on track in no time at all, replacing or repairing your essential items as soon as possible.
