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

My hot take is that Adidas shoes > Nike

      When the first 10 minutes are terribly, they are lying. When the first 10 minutes tell you it’s super easy today, they are also lying.

      Took me almost 6K into my 12K run yesterday to actually feel good. After that point I felt great.

        The fitter I get, the longer into my run it takes for me to start feeling okay. It’s like a punishment for being able to run farther.

        I ran my first half marathon this year and mile 12 was my fastest mile. Started feeling pretty good at mile 8 and it kept improving from there. Not sure why the body works like that.

      Exactly what I mean, powerjunkie. It’s actually the first 20 minutes for me now, as I’m 66 yoa.
