RUN FOR THE THRILLS
The weather’s turned milder than Keane’s back catalogue – get off the home-gym hamster wheel and go for a proper run with this clever kit
GARMIN ENDURO
In the running watch arms race, battery life is a fierce battleground. Even budget trackers now last weeks between charges. However, with an 80-hour GPS battery life, extendable up to 300 hours in endurance mode – all boosted by juice-saving solar charging – the Garmin Enduro has just blown away all of its rivals.
The Enduro is basically a Fenix 6 that won’t die. It’ll survive even the most extreme multi-day ultra running adventures, while hour-a-day run streakers can expect at least a month from a single charge.
This run buddy also comes loaded with Garmin’s best adventure-tracking smarts, including new trail-adjusted VO2 fitness estimates and an ultra running mode that clocks how long you dawdle at aid-station buffets. Plus you get adaptive workout suggestions, remote live tracking and all the usual heart/blood stats.
