What? Tech? Who cares. Why do we do this to ourselves ? Just get out and do something. Don’t over think it. Don’t make it worse with pointless guilt trips that really don’t add anything to the end goal. Wear a watch, or don’t… and I don’t care if you double back to get one just cuz you want or need it. That shouldn’t be the thing here. You do it the way you need to.
just so long as you’re getting outside and looking after yourself. That’s the goal here.
Run naked
Yeah, I end up trying to run to the cadence of music, and so I don't run to music.
To dial the clock back, I used to be a "naked" runner. Just me, my shoes, and my silkies. I'd see what time I left and what time I got home and kinda estimate my pace, but pretty much would just go run.
I got older, had kids, lost it for probably close to a decade, but got back into running again, but now I listen to audiobooks. Was podcasts for a bit, but now audiobooks. I wear bone conduction headphones, because the only concern is have with the electronics is when I see folks running with noise canceling headphones on. I just can't get behind turning off one of my senses.
Well you can always just put together a playlist of your preferred cadence for that particular workout. I'm usually a 180 steps per minute kind of runner, so I like 90 bpm songs.
Yeah, I don't listen to much at 90bpm. Plenty of 140, and 172 is oh so close, but 90 is tough. I get songs like Ebolarama or Memphis Will be Laid to Waste that get close, but it ends up being a real undertaking getting the venn diagram of music I like and music that goes on my cadence to line up.
There's probably some value to that playlist, but whether I can get a legit hour of music out of that is one thing, and whether I can repeat that so as to not listen to the same songs on repeat is another.
You can speak for you only.
some people struggle just to get outside. and that matters. And it’s not about running faster. That isn’t the goal for everyone.
You dont need to elitist it up to dismiss any effort to do something healthy for themselves.
It matters overall if they even make the effort music or not. We don’t need imposing unnecessary rules on something that should be simplified to just make the effort not win a race.
Not everything needs to be a competition to matter. To each their own.
I didn’t misinterpret considering you don’t seem to know how possessives in English work. This is a ‘you’ problem. Not a ‘me’ problem.
Now you’re Speaking of rude: You completely missed my original point and decided to do your elitist stance on running. You used ‘your’ possessives and you know it.
It was lecture speech in order to shame. Then you denied it like a gaslighting little troll when I called you out on it. So forgive me for giving into stooping to your level of being rude.
It’s like cyclists who ignore people who are working on a health issue and instead of recognizing everyone has their own pace to go at, you are rubbing it in with nothing is good enough unless everyone is living their life at your level and wearing spandex with the correct logos on it. The bullying competitive mean-girls of exercise.
I realise now there is no getting through to you on what my point was and I can see your intention was just to pull me into some dumb internet fight to be about you instead of at least even attempting to see my point of inclusivity in this.
Go huff your own farts troll.
