run clubs is slowing you down. Going to these run clubs is a waste of fucking time. Look, let me tell you why. Let's say you get off work at 5 o'clock. You work your 9 to 5, you get off at 5 o'clock and you want to go for a run, right? Now from 5:30ish to 6:30ish, you're trying to get ready, you're trying to get ready to go to the run club, you put your best foot outfit on, whatever the case may be. And you get to the run club. Normally run clubs start around 6:30. 6:30 to 7:30, you're probably not gonna start running until like 7 o'clock. Start running around 7 o'clock, you probably won't end your run until like 7:30, 7:45, depending on how much you're running, mostly run clubs is 5k, 3 miles, 7:30 to 7:45, 7:30, right? Now you're socializing. You're socializing, cool, you probably socialize for like 15, 20 minutes, whatever. You probably won't get home until about 8:30, 8:45, 9 o'clock, depending on how far you live from the run club. Then you got to eat, shower and wind down. By that time it's 10 o'clock. Yo, your entire rest of the day is gone, gang. From 5 o'clock to 10 o'clock, you spent on them just running, bro. You could have spent, listen, listen, no shade to people that go to the run club. If running is your entire personality, bro, and that's your character and you love it, and you enjoy going to these run clubs, cool. And you cool with where you at in life and you vibing. Cool. But this is to my people, bro, that are trying to become somebody, bro. This is to my people, bro, that are trying to become somebody, bro. You do not have time to waste four hours of your day for a run. Just go outside of your crib, run down the block and down for a couple miles, or whatever the case may be, and be back at the crib at a reasonable time, bro. 30 minutes, 45 minutes max, bro. Versus three hours of commuting and goddamn, I'm over here burping and shit, versus commuting and like, bro, like.
