Good one Brent. we should really ask a question that are we running for kudos or inner peace/mental health. I remember the below statement from Sam wrote it in his old blog, I felt its 100% true.
"If something doesn’t affect you directly, you’re not likely to care for very long. People can be proud of you, tell you good job and give you a pat on the ass, but if we are looking for fulfilment and contentment in other people’s reactions to our achievements, we’re only setting ourselves up for disappointment."

Brent, I love having you back in the Strava running community mate.
Regardless of what happens, I look forward to cheering you on for that road leading to and the event that is Gumby! Go Brent!
Great post Fordy and some thoughts:
- all the information is making us more confused and tired as we try to figure out what’s true and what’s bullshit
- most of the fitness industry prey on peoples insecurities and have convinced them that they only way to feel good is to lose weight.
- people usually share what works for them to help others
