Rhythmanalysing the urban runner: Pildammsparken, Malmö

Abstract: Urban running and jogging became popular in the USA during the 1960s and 1970s as a predominantly middle class activity to improve health (Latham 2015). Since then, interest in urban sports, and running in particular, has greatly increased. Generating new spatial patterns and rhythms, running -along with other mobile practices such as skateboarding and parkour -reproduces space, and shapes everyday experience and relationships with place.

While this research demonstrates the importance of fitness trails, (large) parks and social activities to encourage recreational running, understanding of the geography of running nevertheless remains piecemeal, as individual places or events are studied, rather than the different geographies of running.…”

“…Urban environments – as environments with abundant natural and artificial features (Amin and Thrift, 2002; Gandy, 2014; Lorimer, 2015) – can be invigorating places to inhabit. There is green space to run in (Hitchings and Latham, 2016; Edensor et al, 2018), water to swim in (Watson, 2006; Ward, 2017), parks to play in (Neal et al, 2015; Herrick, 2009), sports halls (Shove and Pantzar, 2007), roller rinks (Pavlidis and Fullager, 2015), and gyms (Crossley, 2004a; Blue, 2017). These environments permeate many cities and create affordances for a diverse range of activities.…”

“…What are the communities that coalesce around boxing and basketball without the infrastructures of boxing gyms and basketball courts that support them (Wacquant, 2004; DeLanda, 2012)? Examples like Neal et al (2015), Carr (2010), and Cook et al (2017), along with Hitchings and Latham (2017b), and Edensor et al (2018) have shown that geography can be adept at highlighting the public-ness to be found in amateur sports and fitness practices – even when the public-ness is not the primary focus of the research. What an attention to the kinaesthetics of these activities contributes is a sharp focus on the public facilities, equipment, resources, terrains, and technologies that are required to pursue these activities.…”

“…Current studies have, for example, conceptualised running in terms of a jog aph Cook et al, 2015) which offers an engagement with the relationship between running, interaction, and space thatthrough the use of video data and running interviewsrecovers something of the methods of navigation employed by runners in an urban environment. Other recent studies have adopted a more theoretical stance, discussing running in and through an application of rhythmanalysis (Edensor et al, 2017). There are few ethnomethodological studies of running, although Pehkonen (2017) is developing a conversation analytic research on interaction in orienteering.…”
