I am actually a gymbro but I love running. I run 5km and 10km races. However, I feel totally pathetic about that because nowadays everyone is running half marathons, marathons and even ultra marathons.I perform well at my races, usually placing top 10% even with gym being my main focus. It doesn't mean anything though. Like if I am on a date with a girl I can never talk about me running because only the word "marathon" is attractive, especially if she is also a runner. 5km and 10km distances are just pathetic.

>>33640871Run a marathon if you care so much?Call your 10k a quarter marathon.
>>33640871You're just overthinking
>>33640871Walk a marathon. I'm a pudgy piece of shit but once per year I ride public transport as far out as it goes and walk back. Stop somewhere for breakfast, stop somewhere for lunch, stop somewhere for dinner, get wasted and sing karaoke at a favorite spot near home, and then shuffle the rest of the way home. Just do it, say you've done it, and that you aren't competing or training for it right now.
>>33640871The average person is on the borderline of obesity, nobody's running any fucking marathons these days.If the average person could run 5k we could cut healthcare costs in half
>>33640871Marathons are unnatural and have nothing to do with being healthy or long-lived.
