If a run happens in the woods and there’s no watch there to record it and post it to Strava, did a run ever happen at all? Is the measuring of running ruining running? Sonia O’Sullivan and comedian Jarlath Regan ask whether the focus on data and super advanced technology is sucking the joy out of running? Later in the episode Sonia looks at the limits of data analytics for elite athletes and the one measurement even elite coaches are reluctant to ask their athletes about. One listener hits a big milestone and Jarlath experiments with low heart rate running. “Running is a long term relationship with yourself” according to Sonia. How can we make it one that lasts rather than a fling? Pop over to Patreon to see footage from Jarlath’s latest road trip and listen to an extra 30 mins deep dive on this subject.
