OK, so naked running.
Apparently this means running without GPS, music and any other tech.
I wish I knew this an hour ago.

Russia has an Antenna Array of 32 installations designed to Jam/interfere with GPS placed in Kaliningrad.
Its effective range is 5-6 thousand Kilometres.
Moscow can disable GPS across entire Europe.
