naked running

You may have tried silent walking after reading about it on my website.  Refresher: silent walking is going for a walk unplugged from all digital devices.

Naked running is not some nudist enthusiasm.  It is going for a run without any of the digital devices that runners seem to feel are so essential to the process.  That’s right, no headphones issuing instructions on when to run and when to walk, no sports watch telling you how far you have travelled and what your heart rate is.  Nothing.  The tech that might have motivated you to start running is now an obstruction to progress and to peace.

Instead you focus on how your body is moving and how you feel.  You might even take in the ambient sound and vision.  Instead of coming home stressed because you didn’t achieve your goals, you return relaxed and peaceful and in tune with your body and the world.
