That child will be a mess.

Should have turned the kid into a power lifter/wrestler instead.

If the parents are nutcases, as most hardcore runners are, then this can set the kid up for a lifetime of self destruction. Hopefully the kid won't grow up observing his parents crazy running behavior and think it's normal behavior.

Bhanky disagrees; I would imagine he would argue his joints will be stronger.

Worth watching to see which one he is.
