In this interval Ed, Ro, and Gill take a lighthearted dive into the love-hate relationship runners often have with technology. From GPS watches to heart rate monitors and Strava records, we explore the ways in which gadgets enhance – and sometimes complicate – the simple joy of running. We share stories of tech fails and gadget-induced frustrations, like waiting for GPS signals or adjusting to new devices. We also discuss how data can be helpful for tracking progress but caution against becoming overly reliant on numbers and algorithms. With insights on finding balance, humorous anecdotes, and practical tips for tech-savvy runners, this episode is a lighthearted exploration of how technology shapes modern running.
