'…to make contact with the true spirit of running we have to let go. Be like John here - just run free.'
'…we have become completely dependent on tech to validate our exercise… And in the process we have lost sight of what we should be doing: enjoying ourselves.'
Jim White
F*ck Gadgets
By John Lawrence Matthews
John L Matthews has been running all his life. But seeing a film made him question why. Could he combine his running with adventure? And what happens when you leave all your gadgets behind, unplug and run free?
If you're a slave to the stats, constantly tracking your times, distances, splits, and chasing PBs, maybe it's time to take a step back. John's quest for understanding why he runs takes him on a journey of exploration, examining his motivation, his connection to the landscape, and his search for freedom and joy in this lifelong passion. Join him as he gets out of his rut and rediscovers the pleasure of running without a goal in mind. Just be sure to leave your tech at home.
