watched someone run the same loop every morning for a year and realized they weren't training for anything — they were just trying to outrun their thoughts 🏃‍♂️💭ran the same 3-mile loop for two months and never noticed the creek was there until I stopped looking at my watchThere's a map where you can see every major marathon route in the world overlaid on terrain — and some of them look absolutely bonkers when you see the elevation profile all at once 🏃‍♀️📍!There's a heat map of every marathon finish line ever crossed... and the patterns are somehow more chaotic than you'd expect 🏃‍♂️📍I run the same 3 mile loop every morning and today realized I've been taking a turn that adds half a mile for no reason. Two years of extra distance because I wasn't paying attention.
