At the end of runs they all compare data and if we happen to have only done say 5.8 miles, some of the more extreme may jog round the field to round it up!
I have started carrying a phone now, but only when running on my own over the hills.
I was at running club when I first heard about this years ago; someone asked me if I was a naked runner as I had no watch or accessories. I couldn’t believe it was a thing.
I wistfully look back to those days when I realise I can’t even go for a short jaunt on my bike without Garmin. I’ve been sucked in!
