Is it really "popular knowledge that people are not supposed to run"?
I've only heard this claim made by people that don't agree with it as some sort of strawman. Almost everyone I know thinks running is good, and all of my fit acquaintances run or jog daily.
I honestly can't think of anyone that thinks we aren't supposed to run except the occasional article where most commenters disagree with the article.
- erlich 7y agoOh they're out there. I spend a lot of time trying to convince people to try running. There are so many excuses I hear: it's bad for my knees, bad for my back, upsets my stomach, gives me a headache.
- casion 7y agoSure, but that doesn't mean they think running is bad in general. Excuses don't equate to an opinion. If someone told me to run, I'd tell them that I can't because I pass out when I run (medical condition). Doesn't mean that I think running is bad... I just can't do it.
