\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love a wearable as much as the next runner, and somehow manage to make every pub conversation about VO2 max<\/a> stats. But after running<\/a> my first marathon<\/a> last month \u2013 which I spent a great deal of time looking down at my watch rather than up at the amazing crowds and atmosphere \u2013 I was experiencing a touch of data fatigue.<\/p>\n

So, when my favourite peanut butter brand, Pip & Nut<\/u><\/a>, asked me to run this year\u2019s Hackney Half Marathon, I was keen to conduct a little experiment: racing without a watch. While I\u2019ve run without a watch before, I\u2019d never raced without one, so it felt strange lining up at the start watch-free amid the ripple of bleeps around me. Nevertheless, off I went to run my second-fastest half marathon time<\/a> yet.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything racing without a watch taught me about pacing \u2013 and my own fitness.<\/p>\n

I started a lot slower than I thought<\/h2>\n

Like the majority of runners, my toxic trait is going out too aggressively. Fuelled by vibes and adrenaline, an overly fast opening few kilometres are often the downfall of my race.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, though, when I looked back at this race\u2019s splits (I had Strava running on my phone in my pocket… call me a fraud, but I promise I didn\u2019t peek while running), the first kilometre was my slowest. This was likely one of the main reasons I didn\u2019t really hit the wall<\/a> and my splits stayed relatively even throughout.<\/p>\n

While you might assume a watch helps protect you from going out too fast because you can constantly monitor your pace, I actually think the opposite happened here. Because I was worried about not having the data to guide me later in the race, I was much more tuned into my body from the outset.<\/p>\n

The result? More conservative pacing that protected the rest of the run.<\/p>\n

My breathing was much better<\/h2>\n

I found it much easier to breathe<\/a> throughout the race, which I think was partly because I wasn\u2019t constantly distracted by my watch.<\/p>\n

As a result, my posture and overall running form felt better, and my breathing improved alongside it \u2013 almost becoming my own internal metronome.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t push myself as hard<\/h2>\n

As mentioned, racing watch-free for the first time definitely made me run more conservatively \u2013 and while that helped slow my start, it also meant I probably didn\u2019t push myself quite as hard as I could have. In hindsight, I likely had enough leftover marathon fitness to PB.<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t really the point of the experiment.<\/p>\n

Running without data and relying entirely on feel gave me a much clearer sense of where my fitness actually is right now \u2013 which will probably help me plan future races better.<\/p>\n

And honestly, who needs a watch when you\u2019re running on pure vibes and peanut butter anyway?
