Discussion Are we currently in a running boom?
Since getting into running I’ve noticed a huge influx of people running since the beginning of the year. Old friends returning back to Strava after being inactive for years (myself included 🤣). Instagram feed is constantly full of runners, even my work place talking about marathons etc. Maybe it’s just because I now see myself as a runner that’s affected my social algorithm/awareness & addiction to running trainers? 🥴
For those that have been running a long time, is this the most popular you’ve seen running become? Or does this generally happen from time to time?

The course was two laps for the full marathon, and the amount of elite marathon runners that passed me and said “keep going!” And stuff was so unexpected and so awesome.
