The hardship of the #fitness requirements is that one does not have any access to gadgets to track the time. One gets the start and end announcements, either one accomplished it or not.
Thus a big part of training should be to train without any digital/mechanical distractions. No music, no podcasts or audio books, no knowledge of much more distance to go, no knowledge of how much time has elapsed; one is stripped of all (modern) technical achievements.
If you can tell time elapsed dependent of the cast a shadow, that is permitted. Or if you count every single step to know how far you are along is also permitted.
