As promised: tips for writing about runners (for non-runners)
- after long enough, everything hurts. No matter how well trained, you hit that point eventually
- ankles, knees, lower back hurt first. The shoulders and neck if carrying a pack. Then your organs start hurting - you are hungry/thirsty for a while. Then the bouncing will make you neither. (That’s bad)
- hills are the devil. Even Rambo would cry over a technical hill climb
- run long enough and your brain shuts off, that’s the good point
- fingers and feet swell
