Description

Have you ever run without a running watch? Does it count if it's not on Strava? Well, there may be some hidden benefits to training without a watch that you don't know about! Andy, Sarah and Rick all have various experiences of running with and without a running watch - they share their own benefits/drawbacks. Let us know - do you sometimes train without a running watch?
