I'm a premium Strava user. I've been using it for years. I measure miles, but I pace is really where I focus. My recording device is an Apple Watch. I also use an Polar HR chest strap so I don't have to worry about having the wrist strap on the Apple Watch real tight.

The other stuff I run with... When I run on the local multi-use paths, I don't over prepare. When I go on a long run that may include residential areas, I carry some spicy sauce (POM pepper spray) to dissuade dogs of the four-legged and two-legged variety. I also recently started running with a hat instead of a headband. The increased surface area lets me shed sweat easier. The challenge is that I have to turn it around when the water pours off the bill (better than through my eyes), and then the sweat hits my heels until my shoes are wet. I sweat like a congressman in confessional when I run.
