Drawing on the first academic research into run-commuting, this paper places running more firmly on the agenda within transport studies. Run-commuting is a rapidly growing mobile practice in which people run between work and home. Academically, very little is known about the practice, with scant research conducted into it. This paper begins to rectify this by critically exploring the geographies of run-commuting in the UK and the politics of mobility that emerge from this. Based on a survey of 287 UK run-commuters, this paper explores the broader trends and patterns within the locations, demographics and movements of run-commuters in the study. This reveals a highly socially-fractured practice with various privileges that enable and constraints that limit run-commuting possibilities. Run-commuting is racialised, gendered and classed with it being most popular with urban-dwelling middle-aged white men in highly paid professional jobs, social differentiations that punctuate much of the practice. This paper also shows the uniqueness of run-commuting as a mobile practice. Arguably more concerned with running than commuting, run-commuting is highly entwined with and affected by other practices of everyday life, notably the rhythms of work, home and exercise. Run-commuting research expands the scope of active travel and demonstrates the value of conversations between transport, mobility and sport studies in understanding such modes. It is also a practice that challenges many understandings held about transport, such as notions around motivation, speed, time, productivity and effort. Run-commuting is a productively provocative practice that opens up opportunities to think and do transport otherwise. This paper shows its worth to transport studies' agendas.

英国的乘车通勤地区

借助有关行驶通勤的第一项学术研究,本文将行驶更牢固地置于交通运输研究的议程中。上下班通勤是一种快速增长的移动实践,人们可以在工作场所和家中之间奔跑。在学术上,对这种做法知之甚少,对其进行的研究很少。本文通过批判性地探索英国的通勤地理环境以及由此产生的机动性政治来纠正这一问题。在对287名英国通勤者进行的一项调查的基础上,本文探讨了该研究中通勤者的位置,人口统计和流动范围内的更广泛趋势和模式。这揭示了一种高度社交化的做法,它具有各种特权,这些特权启用和限制了运行换向的可能性。运行通勤是种族化的,性别和等级,在高薪专业工作中,在城市居住的中年白人男性中最受欢迎,社会分化使很多做法成为重要。本文还展示了运行换行作为移动实践的独特性。可以说,通勤比通勤更关心跑步,通勤与日常生活中的其他习惯(尤其是工作,居家和运动的节奏)息息相关。乘车通勤研究扩大了主动出行的范围,并证明了交通,出行和运动研究之间的对话对理解这种模式的价值。这也是一种挑战,使人们对运输有了许多理解,例如关于动力,速度,时间,生产力和努力的观念。上下班通勤是一种富有生产性的挑衅性实践,它为思考和进行其他运输提供了机会。本文显示了其在运输研究议程中的价值。
