Ahhh, I see you too have crossed the line of once a hobby, now a second-job (for which you do not get paid).

[roberjw]

This shit is hysterical.... Doing the lord's work with these videos underrated.

"The church of the long run" <3

Made my day, huge thank you!

[rickgiganti]

Pro: I'm fit, con: my legs are always sore

[terryfurlong]

Serious Runner merch? I would wear that SR logo with pride if I ever qualify for Boston.

[justinnevins]

Always so on point with all your... points!

[paxtonebright]

Pro, I watched this video and it made me smile that my V02 Max is higher than yours. The petty competition with strangers fuels my life.

[momcom]

Omg! I always call my long run church! I thought I was the only one.... (I don't have runner friends) lol

[cpruns]

Denied- have you thought about running less? Bahahaha - that was gold:)

I think the pros and cons you listed are valid and can be applied to pretty much any sport in which every non-pro athlete participates in. But the key is whether all those things in combination make you happy. If not, make adjustments and dial it back as needed.

Marc Bochner is the best for active release!

There are pros and cons for being a hobby jogger too! Ok, we can't keep up with you Serious Runners, but we can justify that cake after a run

[VileVanGogh]

The philosophy of what counts as "arbitrary" is an interesting one. A good portion of philosophy academia might conclude that norms based on a measurable potentiality, such as one derived from a runner's past performance, is much less arbitrary than other values people take seriously.

Paranoid MRI to rule out stress fracture 😂😂

[swansong]

Con, Running. The worlds most expensive free sport.

[Vxc]

I was missing the real Serious Runner in person 💪😎👊

[wvu]

I honestly can't remember the last time I've bought a T-shirt.

100% on the food issue. I'm turning into a monkey with all the bananas I eat now. Kind of forced into an easy to digest baby food diet. Meats are hard to deal with because takes so long to digest, you'd have to delay your running, so it often gets shelved. and alcohol is a thing of the past.

Con: waking up at 5:00am every day to get my run done. Pro: Not having to worry about squeezing it in some other part of the day

[ligmasurvivor]

Pro - your pace is fast - ish
Con - you are always tired
😂
