I got interested in running after hopping off the couch and doing a 5k earlier this year. I felt absolutely terrible for a few days afterwards to no one’s surprise.
I don’t really have a history with running but so far it’s stuck. I like how I can just get out and and zone out while enjoying the scenery. From there I went down the rabbit hole of “how far does this sport go” and kept seeing longer and longer distances. I’m definitely the kind of person that likes taking things to their logical extreme so maybe my why is just “how far can I go?”
The saltiness of people’s sweat varies quite a lot, so you may just not lose a lot of sodium that would otherwise need to be replaced via electrolytes.
