free-running
Rooftop vault sport
Free-running describes something operating without external control or constraint.
A free-running clock keeps time independently, not synchronized to an outside signal.
In physiology, free-running rhythms are biological cycles continuing without environmental cues like daylight.
The term also names a movement discipline—related to parkour—where practitioners navigate urban environments using acrobatic techniques: He spent weekends free-running across rooftops.
