"Listening to music when I’m training allows me to stay motivated when I’m feeling my most tired. Having Shokz as a partner allows me to listen to music while still being able to hear what’s happening on the trail and stay safe. It allows me to perform at my best in training and in racing. As well as running, I use my Shokz when I’m travelling so I can listen to anything or make calls and stay in touch with my family and friends. I have been using Shokz since 2018 and would never use anything else! "
