Really enjoyed reading your story, Raziq; particularly the "seven lagers" and "wanting to stay married" anecdotes! Thanks.

They're all parts of my life I want to (try to) balance!

Enjoyed reading this. Running longevity is my goal too. Thank you for sharing.

A totally fun read! And I love the idea of switching out the 7 lagers on a Tuesday with training goals....(Been there myself--well, not lagers, exactly.) But it's a much better option all the way round.

I do still enjoy the idea of seven lagers on a Tuesday afternoon, but it's just not very practical 😂

Great story. I can really relate to this. My wife and I just want to stay healthy enough to continue running as we approach our mid Sixties

Exactly. I don't want to suffer burnout from the thing I love.

Running as solace and quiet time to unravel thoughts. That’s the magic of it.

I hear about this from creatives (and write about it) all the time.
