Maybe it’s a stupid question but where do you guys hold the phone during sprints, especially if you train in a park or something…  
It is very uncomfortable to lock the screen and keep it in my pocket and take it out when I want to start the next exercise.  
Leaving it on the bench or on the ground is of course not an option in a park…  
So how do you solve this?  
Thank you for your help in advance 🙂

What do you exactly mean?  
Doing Kadmos, Hermes, Ares, …, I leave my phone on the ground (in case of "long distances I choose rounds so I could keep an eye on my stuff). Doing a Running God like Bastet I use a phone case which I wear on my upper arm.

Thanks for the answer. Yes I meant the God workouts containing sprints, like Ares.  
So there’s no magic.  
Ok, I’ll try to choose a good place where I can leave it until I finish the sprint.

Whenever I have a sprint, I just hold it in my hands, not super practical but it does the trick

Hi there, I need to do interval runs over varying distances and times. Highly impractical to hold the phone in hand to finish the workout. Is there no better way around this?

Besides, locking the phone means the GPS is often delayed and I am always stopping midway to check if I have completed my sets. That doesn’t give an accurate record of the workout and trend progress, does it?

Any idea when is Garmin able to sync with Freeletics?

Please help, I am at my wits end! Thanks.
