But also if you can’t run like 5-10 miles effortlessly I think you are just one step away from being a useless blob of a human without a functional body.

It’s the one thing humans should be able to easily do at all times.
i.would get bored from running after 1/8 mile. at least playing basketball or something you're running is just part of some bigger goal like getting to the ball. now walking is different because you're just relaxing and looking around at scenery.

To me it’s more about being a capable human. But I go out in the woods a lot and being able to GET somewhere or move myself some amount of distance without technology is important to me.

While I understand a lot of people have cars and public transport etc… I feel the fundamental ability to move your fukking body from one place to another quickly has been severely underated for overall wellbeing and oneness with the human experience.

Also lol at peppers who couldn’t run a mile. Like the joggers are probably better prepared.

Even something like taking the time to cook your own meals is underrated.

All about getting the most reward with the least effort

Boomers made everything too quick and easy and made everything unnatural.

I run very regularly but it's not a thing for me. I have a treadmill in my basement and a tv so I just run and watch shows lol. Makes an hour go by much quicker. When it's nice out I prefer a bike ride
I get it. When majority of the country is obese, one of the most basic human movements becomes an obsession for some
