Love this! As an intermediate runner, it's fascinating to peek behind the curtain of elite training. Those medal factories are no joke! Can't wait to cheer on Team GB in Paris 2024.
Yeah, I knew a guy who did it for a hot second, then his feet got all pruney and he went back to shoes.
I think virtual runs are awesome for convenience and accessibility, but there's no substitute for the energy and camaraderie of a live race. I'll take sweaty high-fives and awkward small talk at the water station over a solo virtual run any day.
