 that there's nothing wrong with Strava segments per se. It encourages their competition, their friendly rivalry between local runners. It might even encourage you to get out more. However, what it does encourage you to do, which you shouldn't do, is run fast all the time. You don't wanna get into the mindset of having to try and beat a Strava segment every time you go out. You don't wanna be in the mindset of trying to run really fast. Your best time ever, every single time you go out. And that's what Strava segments are trying to encourage you to do, to run fast all the time. That's one surefire way to get injured. It's one surefire way to burn out and get tired. Don't do it.
