I'm wiped out all day and still think, 'You know what I need? A run.'
Then I come home sweaty and tired, but in a better mood.
Try explaining that to someone who doesn't run.
What running habit do your friends just not get?

Someone takes a gel before a 5K and people LOSE it.
'You don't need that for a 5K!'
Okay, maybe not. But I'm more interested in whether it actually helped 😂
Ever taken one before a 5K? Better, worse, or no difference?

There's nothing wrong with running a 30-minute 5K.
But if you line up right at the front with the sub-20 runners, then make everyone dodge around you for the first mile?
Come on. That's a dick move.
Am I wrong?

You passed that runner at mile 5.
At mile 22 they're passing you back, looking fine while you're barely moving.
You wanted sub-4, went out at 3:40 pace, and now you're paying for it.
Worst pacing disaster? Halfway split + finish time.

You run 50 miles a week. Your mate runs 25.
Race day comes and they beat you. AGAIN.
Now you're wondering what the hell you're doing wrong 😂
Would you change your training, or just tell yourself they're naturally faster?
