Crazy Jogger in Washington DC

I was out wondering one morning in Washington DC, and heard some yelling. I turned around, and this guy is jogging through traffic, yelling, twisting, flailing around. Hopefully he was arrested later.

No idea, but judging from what I've seen at least a few would've gotten run over if it wasn't for the driver's good reflexes.

@logik316 Seriously, how many runners have you seen killed in a car accident because of the influence of endorphins?

@serendipityify

I use a bike and avoid driving when making local trips, so don't call me lazy. I get enough exercise in my normal daily routine, so I don't *need* to run around looking like an idiot. I've seen far too many joggers high on endorphins developing tunnel-vision and obliviously running right in front of moving cars, so whatever health benefits it may have are probably negated by the increased likelihood of you getting creamed in the middle of the street.

@logik316 If you weren't too lazy to try it you'd see that it offers so much more than a longer life expectancy. It improves almost every area of life, and contrary to what you obviously think, running itself can be very enjoyable and is always very rewarding.

You don't run to live longer, you run to live better.

Until one day when he gets his stupid ass run over.

What the hell would I need cardio for? I don't routinely chase people around and I don't run from a fight.

@serendipityify

And whatever extra time you might add to your life, is all going to be spent exercising. Pretty pointless, especially if you're doing a high impact exercise like jogging which will likely destroy your knee joints eventually. No thanks.

@logik316 Healthy weight for a man of 6'2" is 145-185 pounds.

@logik316 Endurance athletes are clearly a different group to casual runners; and I don't know where you got that nonsense about cancer spreading more quickly but in reality people who take regular aerobic exercise are less likely to suffer from virtually every illness, including mental illnesses and including cancer.

Studies show that endurance athletes have a higher rate of cancer than the normal population. Sure, a more efficient cardiovascular system might make you less prone to heart disease, but it also allows cancer cells to spread faster before your immune system has a chance to tackle them. And personally, I'd rather have a heart attack than suffer from cancer.
