With the influx of new runners over the years I have found myself frustrated at times about others runnings. Until I just thoight, if they’re enjoying it, let people enjoy it. Not everyone is trying to optimize and race. Some people are just getting after it and that’s cool.
And so what? Depends on goals. Some go out for a run or want a short/ intense workout. Doesn't make it inferior.
Now if we find that they hate every step are trying to become more involved in running, then maybe it makes sense.
I think it is great so many people were out!
