Endurance actions, like distance working, have existed since historic instances. However people’ relationship to these pursuits has modified, in keeping with time and place. Within the West, we’ve presently turned endurance sports activities right into a science — monitoring each metric and chasing private data via subtle know-how and customized coaching plans. However as my visitor, who’s spent years learning the working cultures in several societies, is aware of properly, this contemporary, individualized, data-driven method isn’t the one strategy to pursue the artwork of endurance.
Michael Crawley is a aggressive runner, social anthropologist, and the writer of To the Limit. On the present at this time, we first look at how Western athletes have “workified” working via know-how and social media. We then take a look at how different cultures method working otherwise, together with why East African runners emphasize group coaching over particular person objectives and the way the Rarámuri folks of Mexico incorporate non secular dimensions into their working. We finish our dialog with how we’d rediscover extra significant, holistic methods to method our personal bodily pastimes.
