There seem to be some people in the bullpen who are overly devoted to running
People are warning against excessive exercise following the death of Yoo Ji-won,
but it seems those who run find this quite irritating.
Nonsensical arguments keep popping up, like how running can never be excessive or that running and marathons are different.
Is there anything in this world that isn't bad when done in excess? Moderation is key for everything.
A representative example of running-related death is cardiovascular abnormality.
As you may know, the exercise stress test used to screen for cardiovascular disease
only lasts for 15 minutes to diagnose a condition. It doesn't involve making you run a 4-hour marathon for the test.
Since the late Yoo Ji-won was born in the 2000s and was so young, they might have endured it better, but still...
Honestly, the psychology of people speaking like that feels like an idol fandom.
It feels like they simply cannot stand the situation where the running they do is being criticized or might be criticized.
The advantage of running is that it is a wholesome and healthy hobby,
but while running may be healthy, that kind of fandom mentality does not look healthy at all.
I am saying this because I am afraid people will start using single-celled logic, like "people who don't run are just criticizing running,"
but I also started running a few months ago for health reasons and am still doing it.
The more I do it, the more I think it is a truly great hobby.
The important thing is to do it in moderation.
Even Hwang Young-cho, the ultimate legend among runners, warns people to run in moderation.
I don't understand why the runners in the bullpen are so intent on insisting that running is absolutely never dangerous..
