Have a listen:
1. Cleer Earphones and Headphones
Why Cleer?
Cleer ironless driver technology shuns the common, soft iron pole piece in favor of a ringed assembly of rare-earth magnets delivering: a perfectly-focused magnetic field, high-excursion with optimized voice-coil control, and exceptionally low distortion. The result is expressive and composed wide-band frequency response.
Enjoying music to the fullest, ideally in a quiet and still background is not always easy nor realistic, especially when living life on-the-go. Enter Cleer hybrid noise canceling technology developed to deliver class-leading noise canceling capability along with superb audio response for immersive listening anytime and anywhere.
Rick has been tryimg the Cleer Edge Pulse and it's been wonderful. Cller makes earphones that are great for running and working out. There is also a heart-rate monitor built in.
2. Mizuno's exclusive Peachtree Road Race Shoe
Availalable in Atlanta, Mizuno makes a 2018 Limited Edition Peachtree custom shoe, although any of Mizuno's running shoes are great for pounding the pavement.
Inspired by the American flag first knitted by Betsy Ross, the design embodies a patriotic red, white and blue theme featuring the iconic race badge, and is the first release of WAVEKNIT® in the U.S. market.
Available at running specialty stores in the Atlanta area, the Mizuno Experience Center and online at MizunoUSA.com.
3. FlipBelt - $30
Ultimate stash belt for all your run-tech
The FlipBelt isn’t like a fanny pack with all its adjustable straps and buckles, it sits flush against your skin so that you don’t have to worry about it bouncing around. And the lack of zips or latches means there’s no chafing, and assuming you get the correct size – there are five to choose from, ranging from a 23- to 41-inch waist – it won’t ride up either.
You can even get water bottles designed to fit inside the belt and more.
4. Runvi Smart Insoles

6. MYNT ES Bluetooth Tracker - $15
Runners lose things, so how about a $15 Bluetooth tracker that actually works. Keep in your gym bag, attach to your keys or anything else you might lose.
Mynt ES brings the best of the Mynt Tracker with a new design, more sound and a lower price. $15 is about right for a Bluetooth tracker. Advances in AI and connectivity improvements have been made that simplify operation and offer a better overall experience..
Mynt’s smartphone app works with the smartphone’s GPS, keeping a record of the frequently-visited locations. If a user activates the search function, the app displays the item’s location on a map that is easy to read. The secret here may be a new Bluetooth inner chip that appears to be more durable and provides a secure connection between device and smartphone. A new generation of embedded anti-loss algorithms enable the Mynt ES to achieve 99 percent search accuracy indoors and outside.That's much better than any other tracker near this price point.
