Week 5 Run 2 and Activity Tracker

Actually completed run 2 of week 5 yesterday and found it much better than I imagined I would .

Does anyone use an activity tracker watch? Hubby bought me a Fitbit Alta but we couldn't get it to work so returned it and I'm now looking for an alternative . I quite like the look of the Soleus Thrive - any opinions please?

I used Endomondo while completing the programme as i had the programme on my phone, i now have a garmin vivoactive HR, which i absolutely love, was a bit put off by size and colour (not very girly) but soon got used to it and wouldn't change it, easy to sync and keeps track of everything with the push of a button, i have several friends with fitbits but love that the garmin gives you all info on my arm, also controls the music on my phone and gives me messages etc, great bit of kit but everyone has there own views of what they need to for :)

I've had the Fitbit Charge HR for over a year now and it has been very good (although I'm about to upgrade to a Garmin). The Fitbit Charge 2 is a bit of an upgrade and appears very good although I haven't actually used one. My wife has the Fitbit Blaze which she really likes as it looks good even when not being used for fitness tracking.

I've got a Garmin vivosmart HR+ which is slimmer and not as chunky as some. I am really pleased with it, and it has served me well so far! Good luck choosing the right one for you! 😊
