The Sprt f Cncentratin
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) prmises t help me run farther and faster, sleep better, r mnitr my heart rate mre effectively. These gadgets state they’ll make me a “better me,” r s the stry ges.
Sme f them might actually help, but a few mnths ag, I decided t sell all my sprts gadgets. I nw recrd my running times with just a pen and a ntepad. Sn after, I started training fr a marathn the ld-fashined way—withut a device n my wrist tracking my pace r heart rate. T my surprise, running withut all that infrmatin turned ut t be a real jy.
In the past, whenever my smartwatch tld me I was running slwer than I “shuld”, I’d frce myself t speed up, even if it was clear that my bdy didn’t want t. But this time, I ran the way I wanted t.
Many times, I was surprised t see real breakthrughs in my running times when I checked my ntepad after wrkuts. If I had seen thse numbers during the run, I might have slwed dwn. But since I didn’t knw, I just kept running.
Anther psitive thing abut getting rid f all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me cncentrate mre n the running itself. Since I n lnger feel like I need technlgy t run well, I can g ut and run withut wrrying abut battery life.
S, what’s the lessn here? Well, we culd very easily replace the example f running with writing, studying, r anything else. N matter what it is, the mre we wrry abut imprving, the mre it hurts ur perfrmance.
Shuld yu stp using technlgy t “imprve” yur perfrmance? Of curse, that’s up t yu. Hwever, if I were asked that questin, I’d certainly say that I’m better ff withut it.
1．Hw des the writer recrd running times nw?

2．Hw did the writer feel when he saw real breakthrughs in his running times?

3．What is anther psitive thing abut nt using running gadgets anymre?

4．What d yu think f sprts gadgets? Why d yu think s? (give at least 2 reasns)

Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) prmises t help me run farther and faster, sleep better, r mnitr my heart rate mre effectively. These gadgets state they’ll make me a “better me,” r s the stry ges.
Sme f them might actually help, but a few mnths ag, I decided t sell all my sprts gadgets. I nw recrd my running times with just a pen and a ntepad.

In the past, whenever my smartwatch tld me I was running slwer than I “shuld”, I’d frce myself t speed up, even if it was clear that my bdy didn’t want t. But this time, I ran the way I wanted t.
Many times, I was surprised t see real breakthrughs in my running times when I checked my ntepad after wrkuts. If I had seen thse numbers during the run, I might have slwed dwn. But since I didn’t knw, I just kept running.
Anther psitive thing abut getting rid f all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me cncentrate mre n the running itself. Since I n lnger feel like I need technlgy t run well, I can g ut and run withut wrrying abut battery life.
S, what’s the lessn here? Well, we culd very easily replace the example f running with writing, studying, r anything else. N matter what it is, the mre we wrry abut imprving, the mre it hurts ur perfrmance.
