Last week, Codoon's editor conducted a small survey through Feed on whether running marathons is addictive, and received enthusiastic feedback from many Codoon friends. Different runners have different feelings about this issue.
Some runners said that after participating in their first marathon, they couldn't stop and always thought about running marathons in various places.Other runners said that they are not particularly addicted to marathon races, but have a crazy obsession with running.
Today, Wuyan Zu will reveal to everyone the extent to which Codoon friends are addicted to marathons and their obsession with running. Do you see a reflection of yourself in them??
Not addicted to marathons, but really addicted to running
@Mingzi40335183:Not addicted to marathons, but addicted to running. I just want to check in, sweat, detox, and reduce stress.
@Liutao683:Addicted to running. As long as it doesn't rain, I want to go out and run at least ten kilometers.
@Zhanshen152:Running is really addictive. Some people are also very persistent about offline marathons, but I believe most people can control themselves. The first marathon feels very exciting, but subsequent ones feel more ordinary, and you can't find the feeling of the first time.
@Dunqudeyi1:It's not marathons that are addictive, but running really is. The more you run, the more you want to run.
@Fangzhang, please let me go down the mountain!:Running is addictive. If I don't run for a few days, I feel uncomfortable all over.
@ZShushuZ:I don't push myself when running normally, but I aim for a satisfactory result in races. The atmosphere at the race is good, making people excited and perform well. I won't get addicted, but I do occasionally race. Running is addictive, and I feel bad when I can't run due to special circumstances.
@w7276949640:I've been running for 20 years, but only participated in my first marathon last year. Participating in races greatly increases running enthusiasm and motivates you to run farther and faster. I feel that running 2-3 marathons a year is enough. Running is addictive, but whether marathons are addictive depends on the person. For most people, running is for health, not competition.
@Yuzhe Yanggesi:Not addicted, but running becomes a habit. Marathons can be seen as a mid-term or final exam for a certain stage of running.
@Gong Xiaoyi:The most important thing about running is to maintain your original intention, always run healthily, and always be moved to tears.
Marathons are truly addictive, can't stop at all
@Wuyuzegang1024:The addiction to marathons is not about the pain but the joy they bring, a supreme sense of self-transcendence and achievement. Every time I finish, my first thought is never to run again, but within three days, I'll be looking for the next marathon, limping off on a new journey.
@Yundong Kelly:Running is addictive, and marathons can also be addictive to varying degrees. Some people selectively participate, while others will go all out whenever they have time. Even if they are usually frugal, they don't mind spending on marathons.
@Chen Juan634:Addictive! My addiction is running in different cities, playing, and eating local delicacies. My goal is to run marathons in all the cities I like! I don't plan to run the same city twice.
@Masou Captain-Xiao Wei:Addictive, running is tough, but the sense of accomplishment after finishing is immense.
@Xiong Doudou007:I'm already addicted. I ran a full marathon recently and now don't want to sign up for half marathons. Gradually, I plan to run all over the country.
@Ningmeng Angel1010:When I achieve a good result, I'm very happy and want to run more. It's really addictive.
@Chuangqian Mingyueguang02:For now, I am addicted. First, I completed a half marathon, then a full marathon within five hours, then a 50-kilometer trail run (limited to those who finish a full marathon within five hours) with a 2,000-meter ascent. Now I'm looking for a 100-kilometer trail run, and if I finish in good condition, I want to challenge 168 kilometers.
@Dalu Wubian:As long as running marathons doesn't harm your health, disrupt your family, or interfere with your work, a little addiction is fine!
Once you participate, it becomes unstoppable!
@Happy Running_666:I think I became unstoppable after my first marathon. The more I run, the more addicted I become. After running once, I want to run a second, third, fourth, and so on. The more I run, the more I want to run!
@SX-Tianyi:In 2013, I saw a marathon advertisement on Taiyuan Street. It seemed online registration wasn't popular then, so I went to a registration point to sign up. Since then, I couldn't stop. At that time, I thought: a full marathon is just eight 5-kilometer runs, right? Thinking back, I was really bold...
@Sun Ting-ST:Absolutely addictive! After running a 10-kilometer mini marathon once, I kept thinking about participating in various races, but unfortunately, conditions are limited!
@Diao Deng-Yanzi:Addictive. The first time I signed up for a marathon, a friend helped me register for a mountain marathon, which was extremely tough! Since the second half of 2017, I've run six half marathons. On the road to marathons, there's no turning back!
@Deep Sea Star59498279:Seeing everyone say they won't get addicted, what should I do? I am! Last year, I signed up for my first mini marathon weighing 160 pounds. After successfully losing 44 pounds, I signed up for a half marathon this year and have already booked a full marathon for next year. I just want to turn my fat photos from last year into slim ones, witnessing my weight loss journey.
@Liu Ye6973515672:It's really addictive! Seeing a friend frequently post about participating in various marathons on social media, I tried running a few times and got addicted too...
Running marathons isn't addictive, but buying gear is!
@Hui Fuqiang:Not addictive, it's just a way to refresh and challenge myself. I love sports, enjoy the happiness and beauty brought by exercise, making my body better and life more colorful.
@Yuan Xiaoshu53406800:I'm mainly addicted to achieving better results. I look forward to surpassing myself in every race, surpassing yesterday! Of course, I won't participate in many races because offline races are expensive and the cycle is too short to improve results. I only participate in two to three races a year according to my plan.
@Jack0810:Not addictive, but buying gear is!
@Juzi Orangemen:No, the feeling and mood of the first participation only happen once. There will be a period of dullness afterward, but seeing familiar people or a running group on the track will still stimulate the desire to enjoy the process.
@955_Global Eagle:Addicted people want to achieve another personal best.
@Adrain:Those who say it's addictive don't fully understand the loneliness and pain of regular training.
@Yueshe Hanjiang0:Not addictive, but marathons can be a stage goal, encouraging oneself to persist in training. Completing one gives a sense of accomplishment!
@Lie Renben Se:No, I've been running for three years, and so far, I've only run two full marathons. I don't know if there will be more full marathons in the future. I won't force it, but I'll run half marathons occasionally, whether online or offline, as I please. Life's marathon has just begun, and sticking to it until the end will allow me to meet a satisfactory self. The original intention of running will be achieved.
