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