Ha! I've encountered people whose lives revolved around running. They often fly to marathons on weekends. They'd spend mornings or evenings getting treatments from physical therapists, or cross-training with personal trainers. They spent lots of money and were in pain a lot of the time.
Nobody was forcing them to do this. They weren't ever going to run fast enough to become rich or famous. They did want to beat their previous times and/or run more marathons than last year. They enjoyed a sense of community with fellow runners.
Should these people receive corresponding advice about 1x marathoning? Maybe...
