What I learn from running?
Running create many elites. Elites are not elites in the beginning and many just become well known after few years of running.
Elites can be sort in different types.
The first types are the real elites. I call it the Fast One. This kind of elites will train their heart out and win a race. They are very competitive toward any race. But thats human. Human are competitive in many ways. May not be running but competitiveness in many forms. I have give up to be competitive in running after this covid start. Now more of a slow runner. Healthy can be gain by just simple run.
Second type of Elites I call it the Fashion elites. Some are fast runners and some just run more for photo taking for their social media. A good thing about Fashion runners is that if they get enough following. They might get a sponsorship or become a ambassador of some running event. They can get free stuff from sport brands. To the brand it a win win situation. More awareness more sales.
The third type are the Ultra Elites. Those who run so long distance till they forget how to go home. The distance so long that they like don't have to work at all. Distance that take days to complete. Distance that some time no time to eat or sleep. The Ultra Elites many are we so call Nuts. But they enjoy every moment of their run. Ultra Elites mostly after many road run will turn to trail run. Trail I mean nature.
Last the Weird Elites. The Elites that run long distance but wear slippers or flipflops. Elites that wear a costume. Running barefoot. To many runners it may seem normal already by now but I still think it wired and hard to run in flipflop for long distance.
Anything write here are not true. It just a silly thinking of a silly guy like me.

Life still need to go on no matter what come ahead.
