Comments on: Why I Pushed ‘Too Far’ (and Will Never Regret It) https://www.nomeatathlete.com/go-too-far/ Plant Based Diet for Athletes Thu, 09 Apr 2020 18:11:35 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Wilfredo Benitez https://www.nomeatathlete.com/go-too-far/#comment-29313 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 18:14:21 +0000 https://www.nomeatathlete.com/?p=25954#comment-29313 This is sooo true. Since I started running long distances, my family and my girlfriend’s family have become legitimately worried about me. “Is that safe?” “Your body isn’t meant to run for that long!” “You’re crazy. No really. You are.” “You ran how much?! There’s no way that’s good for your body.” The list of comments can go on and on, but I’ll spare you all. What’s funny but also not funny is that all of these people mean well and care for my well-being, yet they judge my long distance running when they either smoke, don’t watch what they eat, and/or live rather sedentary lives. Aren’t those daily habits and lifestyles more of a concern than long distance, ultra running? But at least I find comfort in that they care enough to speak up. Oh family.
