I'm a big fan of old-school navigation. I always carry a paper map and compass with me on long runs. It's not about being a luddite, it's about not relying on tech that can fail. Plus, it's a great way to improve your spatial awareness and pay attention to your surroundings. Just remember to pack it in a waterproof bag!
Yeah, it's about time we focus on the underdogs. Too much attention on the elites. These smaller runners are the real heroes, grinding every day.
