The only thing I hate about running as training is impact on joints. Phenomenology is a thing but is there something about elite distance runners' bone and tendon kinematics that just allows them the mileage without issue? The aerobic fitness that elites display in for example VO₂ₘₐₓ is a different kind of strength and no less impressive or shouldn't be. I'm gonna run a mile tomorrow (it's raining) Jim. Do you run? What's a good time for a fit guy untrained to running but like lifts weights and plays sports in your opinion as a metric? Pretend I'm 30 if you wanna really dial in your reply!

I don’t run cos of joints issues and other stuff. I do admire runners though. Phone says I walked 16,762 steps today, which I feel is pretty decent. I’ve been having a lot of drive to walk recently.
I think at least of the two runners mentioned above are Kenyans, who I understand come from very elevated areas which is a massive boon for staying oxygenated.
When I used to run I found better results not overdoing it. It isn’t like weights where you can do a large % and go until failure. If you run to exhaustion its not good. I’m very out of date on sport studies though. I did it as a subject when I was like 18 (also pretend i’m in 30s… maybe more like 40s lol).
