Jackrabbit Sports is currently hosting a pretty kickass sale, offering 25% off all new arrivals, which includes everything from Nike windbreakers to a nice selection of items from InsideHook favorites Rhone.
Also on sale, though, and not part of their new arrivals section, is the Garmin Forerunner 235, which is marked down from an already-reasonable $250 to a totally crazy $149.
It’s GPS-enabled running watch that comes packed with all the features you need and none that you don’t -— which is usually the kind of shit people say when they’re trying to sell you something that’s basic at best and outdated at worst. But the 235 is honestly more than enough watch for 95% of the running population — and especially for anyone who maybe took up the hobby during quarantine and is wondering about life beyond their phone.
It’ll track your route, of course, give you your current pace, calories burned, split times and all that other basic stuff, plus it’ll track your heart rate and your VO2 Max. It obviously works with the Garmin Connect activity tracking, but it also syncs easily with Strava and any other fitness app you may prefer.
I used it for two years and for a complete marathon training cycle and never had a single problem with it. The battery lasts forever, it’s super comfortable and easy to use, it’s 100 percent waterproof … it’s just a really fantastic, reliable product that will serve you well for a very long time.
