The continual advances in technology are transforming the way we exercise- whether you are an elite athlete or a weekend warrior, there is no denying technology has helped us to train harder, better and more effectively.
On the flip side, technology can see some people over-training, consumed by their public Strava profile, overcome with the fear that people will judge their run pace, and so justify their session with a description along the lines of “very hilly run, recovery session with slight hamstring niggle”.
This aside… when spending hours pounding the pavement and swimming countless lengths of a pool, we think that it is ok to distract yourself from the task at hand, or use technology to motivate, educate and inspire you to keep plugging away.
