  • Understandable running feels like torture at first, got to push through until it feels good.

    It’s literally a metaphor for life, “when life gets hard, work harder! And then you see the amazing results of your torturous hard work and you feel absolutely amazing.”

    That’s why running is so healthy. It purges & cleanses out all the bullshit and takes you to a higher level where you are healthy again.

    Mind becomes clear, feels exactly like the sun coming out after a good heavy rain. Outlook optimistic. Tolerance of other people elevated. Everything elevated.

    Because it only feels good once you’ve worked hard enough to get to the next level where you’re achieving the runners high. That is true health.

    Conversely, feeling like you want to “choke people out” is pretty much the opposite of health.

    If you think running is boring & pointless, you clearly haven’t pushed yourself hard & long enough to achieve the “runner’s high.” It is indescribable euphoric bliss & joy & mental clarity!! You would be shouting from the mountaintops you just scaled, shouting with joy for everyone in the world to come run with you because it feels so friggin amazing.
