Follow the emotional and psychological journeys of runners who are in training for their first Bupa Great North Run on this interactive website . Ten runners from across the country were equipped with Nokia phones that capture information on every training run including GPS co-ordinates, routes and images. This data, combined with a psychological profile of the runners after every run, has been reinterpreted by NAME, Atau Tanaka and the Culture Lab team to create a beautifully abstracted visualisation of what it feels like to run. Explore the work at www.dry-run.org or visit the Hatton Gallery to view the related exhibition.
