I came across this article recently and it got me thinking about all the gadgets and technology we are constantly surrounded by in life from Smart phones to iPads, I love this stuff as much as the next person, and I especially love using my Garmin to track my runs and upload the results to the computer to monitor my training progress.

However, every now and then I do enjoy disconnecting and free myself of technology and forget about the world for a little while to hit the trails and run for the fun of it or on how I feel instead of constantly worrying about heart rate zones or pace, enjoy the scenery and the nature sounds around me.

Do you love to use technology with your training and races or do you prefer to Run Free?
