Does anyone use a fitbit to track their runs? I'm thinking of buying one and wanted some advice. :)

I have a Fitbit surge but I am unable to use the functions as the screen doesn’t swipe for some reason. I run with my phone using Strava linked to my Fitbit. Seems to be fine. Can only see the functions on the Fitbit by looking at the app on my phone.

Before you go out and buy a fitbit you maybe interested in Strava who h is free to download and will work along side c25k and your music

I went for Garmin over Fitbit. More trackers with GPS to link into Strava

Most phones will do all the stats you could want using apps like Strava. If later you want to go on to HR monitoring and more accuracy then think about a proper running watch rather than an activity tracker.
