Any controversial/unpopular opinion that you may have in regards to running

My hot take is that Adidas shoes > Nike

    It’s not the ceiling that stops people it’s the basement. I let myself gain way too much weight because depression and such.

    Decided to get back into running. Didn’t take very long to get my distances back and the speed started coming in real quick.

    Then one day I’m at the gym and am acquaintance I barley talk to was getting ready for a group race. Said he’d seen me jogging recently and it’s just a 5k.

    Here’s my fat jiggling ass running with fit people. Obviously small group of middle aged men and women but in came in second out of about 20 of us.

    Really demotivated some of the other guys. It’s been months and a few of them just kind of quit coming to the group days.

    I’ll probably not push it hard enough to hit the roof for my age but my ceiling is just higher than some people’s and my worst is still higher than some people’s.

    On the up side I almost look like a runner again.
