A Runner’s Journey

Data tends to live as a series of unintelligible numbers that often do an injustice to the emotional climate that they represent. As a runner, I wanted to use the statistics of my activity to represent the physical exertion during each run in a manner that was more true to the experience of running itself.

The colour of each sketch represents the degree of exhaustion (warm colours signifying higher exhaustion). The concentration of scribbles signifies pace and the overall shape represents the approximate geography traversed during the run.
