This is why we run

This is what I've been talking about, folks. You run because your ancestors have been doing it for thousands of years just to survive.

ULTRA HUNTING


I talk about this often on my podcasts. Humans are bred to run farther and longer than probably any other terrestrial animal. We use our hands and brains to leverage our endurance by carrying water and outsmarting our prey.


Running is part of our survival. We have an urge to do it, just like sex, eating, and language.


The video reinforces the Galloway method. We are intended to take short breaks on occasion. You call them "aid stations", but your ancestors called it "finding dinner's footprints again." It's not about speed, it's about tenacity.


Don't run like something you're not. Run like you were intended to. Keep up a good pace, take walking breaks, hydrate, envision your next meal scooting off over the horizon, and run with friends.


Big ups to Scott Dunlap for the original post.
