In this solo episode, Tommy explores the complex relationship between running and the internet. As a runner of 12 years who once kept his miles private and offline, he reflects on how much the running world has changed with the rise of apps, social media, and constant connectivity. Starting with the downsides such as comparison culture, curated identities, and data obsession, he unpacks the ways online life can quietly distort the joy of running. Tommy also speaks to the unexpected gifts of the digital age including connection, knowledge, opportunity, and the ability to share the beauty of the sport. A thoughtful take on the past, present, and future of running in the online world.
