Like most people, I spend far too much of my free time staring at my phone screen, alternating between doom-scrolling news headlines and flicking through attention-grabbing, casino-like apps. I love the idea of switching off and engaging in a fully offline hobby.
Running is a great activity for this, as it allows me to uncouple from the digital world and engage with my surroundings, but this is technically work. I'm often testing the best smartwatches and best running shoes in my capacity as TechRadar's Senior Fitness Editor, and therefore I'm checking my metrics and route on one of a dozen wellness apps, or scanning Strava, after every run.
