Why are white westerners so obssessed with running?

You see poor third world kids in Africa and in Asia run everyday for work, play or simply because it's a part of life

But people in the west treat it like a sacred sport where they gather in massive groups, organise running events, talk about it non-stop, buy the latest gear, it's as if it makes them run faster. It's become almost like a cult.

Like bro anybody can run, you're not that special, just run and stop obsessing about it lmao

They don't take it seriously in terms of spending tons of money on gear, talking and obsessing over it. They just do it because it's a part of life over there, they could run barefoot on mud for all they care lmao

A decent pair of running shoes is important though. I grew up in a third world country, we use to play footballer (soccer) bare foot 24/7. Then when I joined a team when I was 12, our coach was one of those guys that once made it to a pro club and even went outside the country, he said dont ever run or play sports barefoot again. Now that I'm older, I realize what he said. The barefoot thing is because people are broke. Wearing good running shoes is 100% a good practice. Now all you really need as a man is good running shoes and shorts. Also, yes, running is good regardless if you're poor or not. In fact, athletes in poor countries like Brazil also run laps obviously because it increases stamina. Even in poor places like Africa, Brazil, etc, day to day running as a kid IS NOT going to be enough to build stamina for a sport like football (soccer). You need to actually train.

just fkn lol @ maintaining cardiovascular health and trying to improve your quality of life to be the best person you can be. It's much better being a basement dwelling shut-in like OP.

Agree people who make running their identity are special.


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.

It's funny you say "anyone can run, you're not that special" when America is the exact opposite now. You're part of an elite tier of American if you can finish a mile in under like 10 minutes these days. Most people are out of shape

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

Do Asians play any sports that they didn't just steal from the west? lol.

Baseball, cricket, badminton, ping pong, basketball, soccer, golf, etc. Literally every sport they care about is western.
