Yep, running on concrete destroys the knees, cross country/varied terrain is much better.

Human beings in general are stuck in a weird obsession with self-importance and vanity!!! Everyone is a f#cking superstar at something and they want the rest of us to all know about it except that 99% are not f#ck all!!!
Facebook and Instagram exemplifies this.

Bodybuilding is a much more difficult sport than running

Tell me that after you go out for 10-20 mile training runs. On some days doing mile intervals on the track.  More to the point bodybuilding isn't a sport. It's an activity based on drug use. No drugs would equal no bodybuilding.

If you define it as a competitive event. But if it's working out in order to look good, without regard to bettering performance in another endeavor, then 95% of people in the gym are engaged in bodybuilding.

They just don't want to use that word because of the whole drug fuelled freakshow connotation which enterprising, but shortsighted, shmoes foster to make a buck. It's too bad.

Was walking into a local grocery store years ago and out walks Bill Rodgers. I kind of nodded my head and he smiled. I'm sure he knew I recognized him but was probably thinking why does this big guy know who I am. I used to be a huge fan of distance running when I was younger. The first book I had on running was by Jim Fixx. The guy was a life long smoker and ate an unhealthy diet. He took up running later in life and believed that running was a cure all for everything. He starting having chest pains and was told to see a Dr but instead he believed that a good run would cure his ails. Went for a run one day and met the Grim Reaper, he was 52.

Marathon running is overrated with regards to popularity mainly because of the World major events, but it only constitutes 4% of all race finishers. The most popular race is the 5K followed by the half marathon. Female participation also drops off dramatically at the marathon distance. It’s mainly a manlet  event.

What makes it easier than in other situations is that you know that they’re in to running and that gives you a way to break the ice. Just ask them about their running shoes. Women love talking about shoes.

Running long distance wrecks your ankles, knees, feet and lower back.  Runners over 40 look 100 years old.
