All good except the long distance runner part. Don't think it is equivocally good as the others and may be potentially harmful (key is the long part, short/medium is good).
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoWalking in inclined, rough terrain is arguably more versatile exercise, and far, far less depressing to me. Hell, it actually lifts my mood. Jogging on asphalt just makes my joints hurt and it makes me feel like I'm administering some pathetic modern substitute to the primal need to be active and to be in nature, which just depresses me. Same with everything gym based.
- Tade0 4y agoI wondered why I couldn't keep my swimming regime, despite generally liking this sort of activity. The only time I have some space is during winter, when few people use the outdoor pool and that is still a 20x10m rectangle, where I have to swim in circles like some captive orca.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoMy main issue is finding exercise in the winter time I can motivate myself to do. Despite growing up in Norway I just hate snow. And my favourite forest trail which is literally right outside my door is a death trap in the winter because it's in a river valley. One slip and I end up falling 50m face down into a frozen river.
