Hey fellow runners!

I’ve got a question for you:

Do you remember those days before Strava and high-tech sports watches dominated the scene?

Sometimes, I find myself longing for that carefree simplicity, even amidst the sea of data and statistics that now accompany every run.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m all for leveraging technology to track progress and achieve specific goals.

The convenience and insights offered by modern running gadgets are undeniable, especially for those with ambitious running goals!

But let’s not allow ourselves to be consumed by the numbers, forgetting the sheer pleasure and wellness that running inherently brings.

In the midst of this whirlwind of data, it’s crucial to maintain a balance between technology and the pure joy of running.

Here are a few tips to help you strike that balance:

🌟 MIX IT UP: Don’t be afraid to vary your running routes and terrain to keep things interesting. Explore new trails, hit the track for some speedwork, or simply enjoy a leisurely jog through your neighborhood.

🌟 LISTEN TO YOUR BODY: Pay attention to how you feel during your runs and adjust your pace and distance accordingly. Remember, rest and recovery are just as important as pushing yourself to new limits.

🌟 EMBRACE THE MOMENT: Take time to appreciate the sights, sounds, and sensations of each run. Whether it’s the gentle breeze on your face or the sound of birds chirping in the distance, savoring these moments can enhance your overall running experience.

So, how do you navigate the intersection of technology and pleasure in your running journey? Are you a data-driven runner or do you prefer to run purely for the love of it?

The closing of each of my blogpost & also (not by chance) my run coaching method could’t fit better in here.

So see you soon in the next blogpost and…

Feel your run! 😉
