4) Running Armband:

Though a little outdated now, with these awesome smartwatches which are making your mobiles redundant, we do sympathize with all you Nomophobians out there who want cant stay a couple of feet away from their mobile phones.

An armband can help protect your smartphone and keep it with easy range while you run. If you are running with your phone in your pocket, do us all a favor, DON'T. If you are not convinced with how it spoils your form and how it is not healthy, just stop because it looks really uncool flapping around in your pocket.

5) Hydration Tracker:

Now this is getting into the experimental tech right out of a James Bond movie. The latest buzz at CES 2018 was hydration tracking.

I know you are probably thinking, those boring manual entries into your app. NO! A latest startup based out of silicon valley has cracked the code of analyzing the moisture level of your skin and developed an algorithm to deduce your hydration levels. Running while drinking the ideal amount of water is the best way to help run longer, and with this band you can actually track that scientifically. 

With 85% accuracy, what this can be used well is comparative analysis. By giving it a week and entering your different levels of thrust, you can help this AI learn and then give you comparative analysis of your hydration levels across runs. Can be pretty cool to end up a run not feeling thirsty at all.

Get out there and go for a run, a mile, 5K or 10K, doesn't matter as long as you hit the road hard and fast.
