Good day to everyone!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Elisa Herrera Altamirano,  passionate about sports and PhD student in the Open University of Catalonia in Barcelona and currently working on my thesis about running. I am so happy to have found this group of running cultures, I'm almost feeling like home :)

I am currently starting my second year of the PhD programme in the Information and Knowledge Society and I am about to go to RMIT in Australia as a visiting PhD student to learn about digital ethography methods. I am conducting 'running and walking' interviews as part of the fieldwork stage of my project to explore mobile methodologies in the investigation of running practices. My theoretical focus is on posthuman ideas of the body and its continuity to urban spaces and the impact of self-tracking the running activity in the construction of a cuantified self/embodied experience . 

I am eager to learn about research focuses towards running practices and share mines. 

Thanks for your sharings! and looking forward to increase our knowledge
