Ce retour d'information fournit une preuve externe des am\u00e9liorations apport\u00e9es \u00e0 la formation, qui peuvent \u00eatre consid\u00e9rables.<br\/>\n<br\/>En outre, l'enregistrement des donn\u00e9es signifie que nous sommes <strong>de partager notre formation<\/strong> et de rendre des comptes. Des \u00e9tudes montrent qu'en s'entra\u00eenant avec un partenaire, on s'entra\u00eene non seulement plus dur et plus longtemps, mais aussi <strong>de mani\u00e8re plus coh\u00e9rente <\/strong>Les fumeurs sont plus enclins \u00e0 fumer au fil du temps et sont moins susceptibles d'arr\u00eater de fumer. Et s'il n'est pas possible de se rencontrer en personne ? C'est l\u00e0 qu'interviennent les applications d'entra\u00eenement social telles que Strava. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ces applications, vous pouvez d\u00e9sormais <strong> entrer en contact avec des personnes du monde entier<\/strong> et partagez votre course avec des photos et une carte d\u00e9taill\u00e9e, participez \u00e0 des d\u00e9fis de course en ligne et \u00e0 d'autres activit\u00e9s. <strong>soutenir et encourager<\/strong> les uns les autres.

Premi\u00e8rement, il est facile de <strong>perdre le contact<\/strong> avec ce mouvement tr\u00e8s naturel et d\u00e9velopper une d\u00e9pendance technologique, en se d\u00e9connectant de ce que l'on ressent pendant une course et en se branchant uniquement sur les statistiques.<br\/>\n<br\/>Ignorer les signes d'alerte naturels tels que la douleur peut conduire \u00e0 toutes sortes de blessures courantes en course \u00e0 pied, telles que les fractures de stress, dues au surmenage et au surentra\u00eenement. <strong>Devenir d\u00e9pendant de la technologie<\/strong> peut signifier qu'il faut \u00e9viter de courir si l'on a \u00e9gar\u00e9 les \u00e9couteurs ou si la fonction GPS ne fonctionne pas. Il est devenu normal d'\u00eatre toujours \u201cbranch\u00e9\u201d et connect\u00e9 dans des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s occup\u00e9es o\u00f9 nous travaillons toujours avec acharnement \u00e0 la r\u00e9alisation de nos objectifs.

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;.

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.

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.

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;.
