Earbuds or headphones
Nowadays, all mp3 players and smartphones are for the most part shock-resistant and easy to take with you. Choose the device that works best for you.
You will have to think about buying solid headphones or earbuds that are specially designed for workouts. Most of these models are sweat-resistant and some are even water-resistant.
More than half of all earbuds have a cable. If you find that this bothers you, then choose a wireless Bluetooth option. Prefer headphones? Then choose a model that fits snugly around your head and won’t slip during your workout.
Spotify®
You can create your own playlist on your mp3 player or smartphone. And if you are not inspired, then there’s always the Spotify app. This app combines several running tracks so you will enjoy your run even more.
