I stopped tracking my runs. I was overly obsessed with how fast I was completing a certain route. It was increasing stress and decreasing enjoyment. I’m currently running without headphones and no tracking. Much better experience.
omg an anomaly 👀 I want to start running without headphones. I sense it takes away from the mental stamina to finish sometimes and i rely on music to hype me up or for tempo
I recommend starting with podcasts. I race without headphones for the most part but I listen to podcasts or audiobooks to train. Just feels like you’re listening to friends chatter about something, which simulates a lot of what you’re going to hear on a race day.
It happened by accident. I forgot my headphones one day wondering how tf I was going to run. I went for a longer run that day because of how nice it was
