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.
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.
