    Fucking lol unironically this is amazing advice. Be strategic and deliberate, pace yourself, go get it.

    Also, it’s easier to maintain a steady jog pace rather than running all over the place like in soccer.

    (They studied soccer players and found they don’t actually cover much distance. But it’s exhausting.)

        A lot of sprinting in those 7 miles too. Aint that many “long distance sprinters” for a reason.

          I’m a long distance sprinter.

          I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, I’m a glutton for punishment.

          Also: I get lapped by people who keep a consistent pace because while I’ve got explosive power, it also involves recovery from the anaerobic sprint. My legs are tree trunks also, another downside.

          So overall, as evolution proves, steady wins the race.

    Persistence hunting is overblown, humans didn’t evolve the best brains to mindlessly jog after prey.

    Work smarter, apply pattern recognition and build traps for your prey.

    And then lose interest because of some random distraction until they get up and start running again.

    That’s what I did, I spent my entire life slowing moving forwards every day making a little progress no matter the amount and now that I’m 32 I have finally got a drawing my mother would put on the fridge.
