Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic and the author of the new book, The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports, has spent years developing that relationship. (He's also a very fast runner - the type who wins races rather than just finish them.) And on this episode of The Vergecast, he describes his approach to running and to running tech.

Screenless fitness trackers can sometimes feel like they aren't doing the job they set out to do. Sure, there's no constant stream of data to obsess over every time you turn your wrist. But in the absence of that quick peek, I find myself opening a tracker's companion appconstantlyto check on the data it's collected. In the end, I find myself spending more time staring at those charts and figures than if I took a look at the tiny screen on my wrist.

The wellness industry is booming. Even as we're downing our protein powders and installing walking pads under our desks, one of the best ways to take stock of your fitness is by donning a simple fitness tracker. Even if you're a little ways away from planning out a complete strength routine, a little wrist-worn tracker is a simple way to nudge yourself to stand up a few more times or get a little more rest.

Fitness trackers have come a long way from the simple bands that tracked steps and little else. Modern trackers can monitor everything from your heart health to how well you've recovered from a hard bout of training. Even flagship smartwatches, which used to be lackluster trackers, have become pretty adept workout companions. Whatever your fitness goals are, there's probably a fitness tracker that can help you achieve them.

Amazfit Helio Strap and Amazfit Balance 2 have been launched in India. The new wearables come with a BioTracker 6.0 PPG biometric sensor for monitoring heart rate and feature a dedicated Hyrox Race Mode. The Helio Strap is the Amazfit's first fitness tracker without a screen, and it supports 27 sports modes. The Amazfit Balance 2 supports Bluetooth calling and has over 170 sports modes.

The Apple Watch Series 10 boasts an incredibly slim profile at just 9.7mm thick, offering a lightweight and comfortable experience that enhances usability for sleep tracking.
