#3The wisest thing I've read all day. Thank you my friend
Re: Run every day (2021)
#4I run six days a week. I tried seven and kept getting injured, it's important to get some rest or cross train. In a perfect world (or one where I had access to a pool) I would alternate running and swimming.

#5Why are people who run so obnoxiously self-important about it?
This post makes no effort to explain why running is supposed to be the center of a human being’s mental universe. People who happen to love running seem unable to understand that it’s not the same for everyone. You don’t see this kind of oblivious nonsense from someone who likes powerlifting or pastel drawing or making sushi.

#6Kind of a self important anecdote to make up in the first paragraph.
A table of people snickering at someone for saying they run a mile per day. And doing so because they all thought of OP’s super impressive half marathons.

I definitely see this kind of nonsense from lifting, high intensity interval training, bodyweight exercises, rock climbing, cycling... I think when people get very passionate about something that was lifechangingly important to them, then its very easy to forget other people don't share that experience.
It's probably better to generalize to have some level of daily activity that works for you. But then it's kind of boring, and everyone already knows this.

#8I’d generalize that to do some cardio exercise everyday. There’s nothing special about running versus say swimming, cycling, or even a brisk walk.

#9AKA Streak Running (no, not that other kind of streaking): https://www.runeveryday.com/
I used to do this for a couple years, before I had an (unrelated) traumatic injury that kept me from running.

Ok, lets reframe this just a touch, everyone who runs treats it as an important activity with powerful impacts on their lives, maybe its worth checking out?
Like seriously - try answering your own question. Why would people behave that way?
