    ‘The relentless pursuit of marginal gains’. This hits hard.

    No friends… no social life… A Serious Runner is always alone. Poor Sage. I’m sure he will miss you.

    There is nothing like the satisfaction of knowing you were out there training when others didn’t. The sacrifices we make that others won’t set us apart. That’s what makes you a serious runner.

      Absolutely!! The children's and friend's birthday parties, date nights with the spouse, pulling out weight around the house, and moments of blissful enjoyment with tacos and margaritas are all worthwhile sacrifices to shave off 5 seconds a mile!!! 😂😂

      Probably because I am actually not very good at playing the influencer game within the running shoe industrial complex.

      Perhaps a video explaining to us laymen how this influencer game works. But on 2nd thought, perhaps not. You may put your life in danger. Stay safe. @@TheSeriousRunner

    Thank you, Serious Runner, for reminding me of my why... to make those who see me running stop and think "huh, that guy must run a lot."

    Great to see Chamonix in its summer glory. Sun on your back under the towering Mont Blanc always motivates me towards sub 50 second quarter repeats.

    With a bit more effort I'm sure Sage could run at least 100 miles a week and become a serious runner. But you can't miss those epic pow days. And there's still time to put in a solid 22k after skiing.
