Believe me, the most typical feature of middle-aged people in fighting health anxiety is by no means a thermos cup that soaks wolfberry. Because when facing real anxiety, a person is willing to spend a lot of time and energy to overcome it. The thermos cup that soaked wolfberry is too easy to do, and it cannot reflect the attitude of gritting the teeth and striving hard.
I don’t know which day the middle-aged people around me have become obsessed with running. Those who have known you for decades have never heard of any sports cells, those who have never been to the gym, those who have beer belly or are as thin as bean sprouts... They are now keen to buy all kinds of running equipment, sign up for various marathons, and talk about terms you don’t understand every day (forgive me, I still don’t know what pace is).
People who have never eaten pork have also watched Pig run. As a person who has not participated in the running craze at all, after hearing and watching for a while, even I realized that there is an unwritten discrimination chain in the running world. The highest end of the discrimination chain of
, of course, is the running god who participated in 777. The so-called 777 means spending 300,000 yuan to run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. Although I really think this is essentially a "pretending" activity and may be harmful to health, all those who have run through 777 have become idols worshipped by people in their circle of friends - after all, they can at least show extraordinary strength to be able to complete such a difficult designated action within the specified time.
discrimination chain from top to bottom second level, running the whole horse. They collect all kinds of marathon medals like they collect stamps.
is a subset of discrimination chains in this group that runs the whole horse: the six Grand Slams ( Boston , London, Berlin , Chicago , New York, Tokyo Marathon ) have the highest status; the global status is higher than that collected in China, and much more collected than that collected less. Some people even show off online that they hired someone to run for and won the medals for this year's Boston Marathon, and they were complacently claiming that "the six medals are the ones that are far from London."
The third level is half marathon. How should I describe the discrimination against half-marathon people who run the whole horse? Let's share a real story. There is a famous marathon event in China, and it is said that it is difficult to register. At a dinner party, I heard a big sister say to a new friend who entered the running circle, "If you really want to run, you can apply for it." Then she heard that the other party wanted to apply for a half-marathon, and she immediately curled her lips and said, "Then forget it, I'll just run a half-marathon after I took a long time to sign up?!" The fourth level of
, of course, are those novices who have never even participated in a half-marathon. This level can be refined into different rookie levels. For example, a famous running group stipulates that if a member fails to meet the minimum requirements, he will be kicked out of the group. The bottom line is: "Each clock is not less than 3 kilometers, the pace is below 10 (inclusive), and the monthly running volume reaches at least 10 kilometers." It is said that if you can't even reach this, then this person may really not like running, and there is no need to force it.
Seeing this sentence, I thought about the exposure to the sun in summer and the cold wind in winter... Well, I really don't like running, so I still don't force myself to squeeze into the bottom of the discrimination chain.
