‘As soon as you can run 5km, you want to run 10. Before you know it, you’re swapping Strava stats.’‘As soon as you can run 5km, you want to run 10. Before you know it, you’re swapping Strava stats.
Inescapably, you start to situate other people’s problems within their failure to be as fit as you. This is particularly true if you don’t know them and they’re just a bunch of numbers.

So now you’re almost your best self, except you could always be better, and this is when you start eating protein the whole time. What evenprotein powder? I don’t mean: “What’s it made of?” – I know my way around whey. I don’t mean: “What does it taste like?”, as, funnily enough, I quite like it, but that’s only because it’s the taste of pure virtue.
