Personal anecdotes highlight the joy and camaraderie found in running events despite the looming concerns about long-term joint health. We also delve into the delicate balance between pushing physical limits and ensuring long-term well-being, acknowledging that while some may naturally excel, most of us need to adopt sustainable training practices.
