Episode description
Welcome to The Sideload episode 7, a 9to5Google podcast. This week, Will is joined by Ryan Haines, Senior Writer at Android Authority and an avid running enthusiast to talk through every aspect of how modern technology collides with fitness. Even if you aren't into running — or, perhaps, even if you deeply despise it — Ryan's experience with apps like Strava, wearables from brands like Garmin, and open-ear earbuds designed with exercise in mind makes this a must-listen episode for anyone curious what fitness tech is like outside of the Google ecosystem.
