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

My hot take is that Adidas shoes > Nike

    I think that advice is usually directed towards people who are struggling because they’re unrealistically comparing themselves to others who are better than them, like they’ve just started out and comparing to people who’ve run for years.

    It’s fine to compare yourself to others, that’s what racing is all about.

      Yep. And it’s actually great to do it in the workplace, because you know everyone else has a real job and is working roughly as much as you are.

      I got two of the guys on my team to sign up for a half with me in February. If either of them beats me they get my job.
