I really resonate with the last part! It's so hard as a runner to make sure we're not saying things that are divisive or excluding other runners. I started to become more aware of this when my wife started running and would often compare herself to me. It really changed my perspective on how important it is to try and make every runner feel included as much as feasibly possible.
Absolutely! I’ve heard runners say to other runners, sometimes at the start of a race, “I’m not feeling good today, so I’ll run at the back at your pace!” It can really destroy people’s confidence :(
