Realizar un seguimiento de tus entrenamientos puede ayudarte a <strong>Aumentar la motivaci\u00f3n y el rendimiento.<\/strong> Mientras que aplicaciones como Strava han llevado el running a un nuevo mundo ultrasocial en el que tus compa\u00f1eros pueden seguir tu progreso, anim\u00e1ndote y haci\u00e9ndote responsable a lo largo del camino. Por otro lado, parece que la forma m\u00e1s simple de ejercicio humanamente posible se ha convertido en <strong>demasiado complicado<\/strong>.<br\/>\n<br\/>Una actividad que antes consist\u00eda simplemente en dar un paso tras otro, ahora puede ser tan llena de adrenalina y expectativas como una sala de juntas corporativa. As\u00ed que pong\u00e1monos al d\u00eda en tecnolog\u00eda y echemos un vistazo a la\u00a0<strong>Ventajas y desventajas de la tecnolog\u00eda wearable:<\/strong><br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumnsWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><strong class=\"textStyle_description\">VENTAJAS<\/strong>\n<br\/>Los relojes GPS permiten a una persona obtener informaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica. <strong>comentarios sobre el ritmo, la cadencia y la frecuencia card\u00edaca<\/strong> y otros par\u00e1metros medibles que les ayuden a identificar debilidades, realizar un seguimiento del progreso y evaluar el rendimiento. Esta informaci\u00f3n proporciona una prueba externa de las mejoras en la formaci\u00f3n, lo que puede ser de gran ayuda.<br\/>\n<br\/>Adem\u00e1s, registrar datos significa que estamos <strong>capaces de compartir nuestra formaci\u00f3n<\/strong> y mantenerte responsable. Los estudios demuestran que entrenar con un compa\u00f1ero significa que no solo entrenar\u00e1s m\u00e1s duro y durante m\u00e1s tiempo, sino tambi\u00e9n <strong>de manera m\u00e1s consistente <\/strong>con el tiempo y son menos propensos a abandonar. \u00bfY qu\u00e9 pasa si no es posible reunirse en persona? Entra en aplicaciones de entrenamiento social como Strava. A trav\u00e9s de estas aplicaciones ahora puedes <strong> conectarse con personas de todo el mundo<\/strong> y comparte tu carrera con fotos y un mapa detallado, \u00fanete a retos de running online y <strong>apoyar y alentar<\/strong> entre s\u00ed.

En primer lugar, es f\u00e1cil <strong>perder el contacto<\/strong> con este movimiento tan natural y desarrollar una dependencia tecnol\u00f3gica, desconectando de c\u00f3mo te sientes durante una carrera y conectando \u00fanicamente con las estad\u00edsticas.<br\/>\n<br\/>Ignorar las se\u00f1ales de advertencia naturales, como el dolor, puede provocar todo tipo de lesiones comunes en el running, como fracturas por estr\u00e9s, causadas por el uso excesivo y el sobreentrenamiento. <strong>Volverse dependiente de la tecnolog\u00eda<\/strong> puede significar evitar salir a correr si hemos perdido los auriculares o si la funci\u00f3n GPS no funciona bien. Se ha convertido en la norma estar siempre \u201cconectados\u201d y conectados en sociedades ajetreadas en las que siempre trabajamos intensamente para alcanzar nuestros objetivos. Hay un aspecto de esto que <strong>sacrifica la diversi\u00f3n y la libertad <\/strong>del running y favorece la acumulaci\u00f3n de hormonas del estr\u00e9s, adrenalina y cortisol, lo que anula los beneficios del ejercicio para reducir el estr\u00e9s.<br\/>\n<br\/>Por \u00faltimo, los estudios demuestran que, aunque los comentarios espec\u00edficos pueden ser motivadores para algunos, cuando el rendimiento es deficiente, estos comentarios pueden llevar a <strong>motivaci\u00f3n reducida<\/strong>. Se ha descubierto que los contadores de pasos y los rastreadores de actividad pueden tener un margen de error de hasta 20%, por lo que es importante <strong>tomar estas estad\u00edsticas con cautela<\/strong>.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Correr es un <strong>experiencia altamente personalizada<\/strong>. \u00bfC\u00f3mo te afecta la tecnolog\u00eda wearable?

Tracking your workouts can help to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;boost motivation and performance\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; while applications like Strava have thrown running into a new ultra-social world where peers can follow your progress, providing encouragement and accountability along the way. On the flip side, it seems that the most simple form of exercise humanly possible has become \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;overcomplicated\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;An activity that was previously one step in front of the other, can now be as adrenaline-filled and expectation-heavy as a corporate board room. So let\u2019s get Tech Savvy and take a look at the\u00a0\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;pros and cons of wearable technology:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-two-columns {\"contentLeft\":\"\\u003cstrong class=\\u0022textStyle_description\\u0022\\u003ePROS\\u003c\/strong\\u003e\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;GPS watches allow an individual to get specific \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;feedback on pace, cadence, heart rate\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and other measurables to help them identify weakness, track progress and Performance. This feedback provides external proof of training improvements which can be hugely.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Furthermore, recording data means we are \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;able to share our training\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and keep accountable. Studies show that training with a buddy means that you will train not only harder and for longer but also \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;more consistently \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;over time and are less likely to quit. So what if it\u2019s not possible to meet up in person? Enter social training apps like Strava. Through these apps you can now \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; connect to people all around the world\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and share your run complete with photos and a detailed map, join online running challenges and \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;support and encourage\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; each other. Making ist social takes a traditionally individual sport and elevates it to epic community proportions.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u003cstrong class=\\u0022textStyle_description\\u0022\\u003eCONS\\u003c\/strong\\u003e\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;While technology has its benefits for training and performance, there are definitely some key points to be mindful of. Firstly, it\u2019s easy to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;lose touch\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; with this very natural movement and develop a tech dependance, disconnecting with how you feel during a run and plugging solely into the statistics.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Ignoring natural warning signs like pain can lead to all matter of common running injuries like stress fractures, born through overuse and overtraining. \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Becoming dependant on technology\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; can mean avoiding a run if we have misplaced headphones or the GPS function is playing up. It\u2019s become the norm to be forever \u201cswitched-on\u201d and connected in busy societies where we are always working fiercely toward goals. There is an aspect of this that \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;sacrifices the fun and freedom \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;of running and lends itself to the build up of stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol, negating the stress reducing benefits of exercise.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Lastly studies show that although specific feedback can be motivating for some, when performance is poor, this feedback can lead to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;reduced motivation\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;. Step counters and activity trackers have been found to be off by up to 20%, therefore it\u2019s important \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;to take these statistics on board with a grain of salt\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Running is a \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;highly individualised experience\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;.
