It's kinda too bad cars are actively inhibiting skipping, walking, biking etc, it's almost like someone should do something about it

How about the Grover approach and ban everything except cars and use the money saved to buy even more cars?

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

I used to run a lot more than I do now, like 100 miles a week or more. At the height of my running I got minor ankle sprain and it wouldn't stop hurting for a couple weeks, and I finally went to the doctor. Unfortunately I was working in NY at the time and went to a fancy NY foot doctor who just told me to stop running because I was shredding my joints and would be in a wheelchair within 5 years. I told the doctor that stopping running was not an option, I needed to do it to live and he started laughing at me. He said in his whole practice he had never had someone tell them no I refuse to stop running and that I was being unreasonable. Stop doing the thing that makes the pain and the pain goes away, so simple.

This is what happens over and over: you get one piece of lovely advice and it sticks with you. This is what you do to build a successful career in medicine in New York and many other places like it: people want to be given a pill and be made comfortable and told that the pain will never come back.

When I got back to Denver I saw a competent doctor who is used to people being active and he laughed at the NY doctor telling people to stop exercising and said yeah that's just what they do, it's just their culture. Denver doctor was immediately able to tell me no important ligaments were torn or anything and I would be fine, go run up more mountains.

I mostly hike these days but running is super fun, I should try to get back to 100 miles a week.

from a caloric standpoint, running is way less efficient than cycling, which if you're going to use the same bike for a few years probably means it's a smaller carbon footprint

i wonder where mets, rangers, yankees, giants, jets, etc. players go to the doctor? i'm sure its hard on them since in new york the culture is if you show up they give you a pill and tell you to stop doing that activity

idk if I’m missing the joke but in the US there’s a whole sub-specialty among doctors called Sports Medicine, sort of an intersection of Internal Medicine and Orthopedics, and there are various tiers of practices which service professional athletes of whichever celebrity tier anywhere there are professional sports teams, at variously inflated rates

e: which is to say, unless an internist is absolute garbage (always a possibility especially with doctors) they ought to be able to print you out several pages of medical advice in the category of “so you’ve got a stress injury but want to get back up to your precious athletic performance” to take home with you, with a few seconds of work on a computer.

If you don’t like running that’s fine. Millions of people love it and the health benefits are well established.

Sorry about whatever it was that made you like this

I knew a bunch of gymnasts who kept doing drills in their 30s and were shredding knees. Their doctors/therapists were always like : here's an idea , don't do two flips and a spin and try to land on the ground

running on asphalt and/or with improper footwear will absolutely destroy your joints up to and including knees, running on dirt/grass/sand is very good

Running on pavement or concrete is dumb and bad but running on dirt or grass is cool and good. Regardless, I'd like to see someone make a 10 mile commute via running.

Bikes are the answer here. Or running to your local tram stop I guess? Just ride the bike
