If you’re putting on your shoes and going out for a run, you are a runner, you are in that club.” For Goucher, running is for everyone, not just the elite athletes she spent most of her life competing against. It’s an inclusive message, and one we know will resonate with our wonderful Snapdragon Insiders community. It’s also a good jumping off point for this roundup, the first in a new series that highlights the many ways Snapdragon® tech can help you do the things you love. Whether you’re a weekend warrior who jogs a couple miles on Sunday mornings or the kind of runner who pounds the pavement day in, day out, consider taking these devices along to help you go the distance. ![Qualcomm-image](https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/dmqualcommprod/Inline_1_688x444-15?$QC_Responsive$&fmt=png-alpha&wid=700) TicWatch Pro 5 Perhaps the most obvious and beneficial wearable use case for runners is the ability to track their progress and location. The [TicWatch Pro 5 by Mobvoi](https://www.mobvoi.com/us/pages/ticwatchpro5) is powered by the [Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 Wearable Platform](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/wearables/snapdragon-w5-plus-gen-1-wearable-platform#Overview), our most advanced wearable platform to date. The Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 is purpose built to deliver extended battery life, breakthrough performance for richer experiences, and high integration for sleeker and more innovative designs. The TicWatch Pro 5 utilizes all five global satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and Beidou), so runners can keep track of where they are at all times — whether they’re running through an urban jungle or an actual jungle. Plus, its built-in compass allows you to set a destination before you embark on your run, keeping you on track as you progress toward your goal. Runners can also use the TicWatch Pro 5 to track their health metrics. With a single tap, runners get access to five vital health metrics in 90 seconds: heart rate, blood oxygen, respiratory rate, stress level, and heart health*. This information is as beneficial after a run as it is during: TicWatch Pro 5’s advanced algorithms can provide users with personalized insights on their health and fitness profiles, indicating when their bodies have recovered enough to go for another run. Pretty cool!

Enter: the [Cleer Arc II Sport earbuds](https://cleeraudio.com/earbuds/arc-ii-open-ear-sport-earbuds/). The flexible earhook ensures that these earbuds stay in place when running on the road or in the woods, and are water resistant, ensuring protection from particularly intense (read: sweaty) running sessions. Most importantly (especially for runners who double as audiophiles), they’re equipped with the [Snapdragon Sound™](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/features/snapdragon-sound) Technology Suite. There’s nothing better than hearing your favorite song kick in as you’re approaching that final kick, and now you can experience the music exactly how the artist intended. Runners high + lossless audio = pure athletic bliss!
