I think ultrarunners are highly underrated. If you’ve tried cardio yourself, you know how hard it is, and now imagine running for longer than a marathon, sometimes up to over a day. Running day and night. Hallucinating even. These people put in such hard work, to me it seems harder than any sport I can think of in terms of just the pure effort and suffering they go through. Sure other sports can be more difficult technically. But when it comes to just pure raw effort ultra running wins for me. I’m very impressed by people like David Goggins (although he is a bit too extreme, there’s only one Goggins for a reason) and Courtney Dauwalter who won Moab 240 miles by like ten hours ahead of the second person, Jasmin Paris who was the first woman to finish the Barkley marathon. I’m surprised people like this aren’t more famous, maybe it’s because ultrarunning isn’t an interesting sport to watch like other sports. 
 

are you pleased now @Schizophonia

Because you're tough

I used to do running when i lived in Strasbourg before my insomnia, i liked that and was actually pretty good (could run half a marathon after a few sessions), the sensation of pride of "persisting" is cool but it wasn't good for weight and muscular mass, i was also afraid for my endocrine system and joins.

Now i just do some muscular training, eat ice cream and do staring matchs with my neighbors dogs ; Cool too.

I’m the same naturally seem to have a pretty good baseline conditioning, I also ran half a marathon after a few sessions

It’s good for weightloss but maybe you wanna maintain or gain instead then it’s not the best

how would running negatively affect endocrine systems? 
 

im gonna start doing some strength training i decided

”staring match with neighbors dogs” lmao that is unheard of

If you're like me it's because you have a facility to dissociate and lose yourself in thoughts.

Because it's very stressful.

Runners tend to produce less hormones and being less fertile.

Yea, even today a Dobermann has begun to woof on me while my walk.

I put myself in combat position and woof woof him until he stop and left me within looking down.

I've won again.

For me I don’t experience it as being related to an ability to dissociate and lose myself in thoughts, but more just having good baseline health 

 

I didn’t know that about runners. but I think in general it’s good to push the body hard from time to time

”I don’t take in the ass” lol what 

you won yea

Yes, i meant that the incline to lose yourself in thoughts/dissociate help to overcome the pain.

would a person born alone on an isolated island develop a self?

[Keryo Koffa]

If alive and aware, there's a self, not necessarily quite like ours though.

I just ate a steak and some salad because it was leftover and I don’t like to waste food. But it felt so off to eat it.  Sometimes I feel icky about eating meat. I think it’s especially if it’s not grass fed and from Sweden. The texture was a bit chewy which made it worse. I think our bodies thrive on a lot of fiber so eating predominantly meat isn’t optimal. That’s what I intuitively sense. I like to incorporate just a little bit of meat in my diet, and have it grassfed preferably. But eating a meal of predominantly meat that wasn’t grassfed felt icky somehow.

I can’t really describe how dead my experience is. Imagine walking around and you barely feel like you exist at all. So disconnected from yourself you feel. You’re disconnected from your thought processes too so you barely hear your own thoughts.

I hear people around me speak and the way they speak and act suggest to me they have a richer experience of reality than me. They aren’t walking dead zombies like me. I wonder how it is to be them. I don’t know how long I can stand living like this. It’s not even living it’s barely existing at all.

Looking back, looks a bit the meditative state i used to practice to help insomnia ; Training to take a distance between the "self" (source) and the "samsara" (thoughts, my body etc).
