And that’s a good thing.
Unfortunately, however, many runners have let their running become too tech-dependent.
As if it’s not a real run unless you recorded it to the hundredth of a second on your GPS watch.
Or monitored your heart rate from start of run to finish, or stayed exactly within your “optimal training zone,” whether it felt right or not.
Or received “likes” on your training run after uploading it to your training app.
That’s where the running-needs-to-be-more-like-yoga thinking comes in.
As in, you would never monitor your yoga workout with a high-tech gadget that measures…what exactly?
And has anyone ever uploaded their Vinyasa session “results” to a training app afterwards? In search of “likes”?
Point being: Consider bringing more of that offline, no-tech, go-with-the-flow yoga spirit to your running.
It could change everything for you.
