How many times have you headed out for a run without your phone, your headphones, or your GPS watch? If you're anything like me, probably never. Which is ironic, really, because I otherwise consider myself something of a digital detox convert. Most evenings, my phone gets put away well before bed to stop me from doom-scrolling, and it's made a noticeable difference to my sleep and mood.
So when I came across the idea of a running digital detox - no phone, no playlist, no GPS, no running apps - I was surprised I'd never thought to apply the same principle to my favourite form of movement before.
