They were running in China though, so the air quality wasn't really much better than smoking a cigarrette anyway.

Why are people surprised about this? one of the top runners (sorry don't remember her name) lives on a diet of tacos and beer. You can smoke and still be able to complete physical exercise they're not mutually exclusive. It's mildly amusing, but it's not groundbreaking.

On my first thru hike of the AT in '14 I crossed paths with a NOBO named "catch me if you can" he was a South Korean tourist who chain smoked newports while pumping out 26 mile days regardless of the terrain. If you met him twice it was considered a big accomplishment.

I find it annoying when restaurants sell double cheeseburgers that include anywhere from a half pound to full pound of beef. Who enjoys that?

IMO the perfectly proportioned double cheeseburger is something on the scale of the McDonald’s mcdouble. Good ratio of meat to bun to toppings and it isn’t thousands of calories.

using the Chinese metric system, this means a 35 year old men got tired 30 minutes into the race and then "cut corners" to finish the race.

Imagine how healthy this guy would be if he didn't smoke.

I knew a guy like this. Ran a 9 minute two mile and smoked at least one cig while doing so.

Idk man. His body probably has a routine.

I always think about that ancient guy from the documentary about centennials and how he ate two toasted bread with butter and two glasses of wine everyday for a decade. Went to the doctor and was told to eat healthy and died within months.

How? Lol. If the air quality is mildly bad my lungs seem too struggle functioning.

When I was in the Army I was watching a National Guard unit do their annual PT exam during their summer training. They start their run and this older, overweight guy is bringing up the rear. He stopped after a hundred or two hundred yards. He pulls out a cigarette, lights it, and just starts walking. Could not believe I had just witnessed that!!

Was he inhaling the cigarette or puffing like a teenager

"I train my lungs by smoking 6 packs a day, seven days a week. Once I get closer to the race, I taper down to five packs a day. You have to train your lungs!

Let’s not forget the survivor bias when it comes to smoking cigarettes. Those who had failures from smoking aren’t here anymore. We don’t see their stories unfortunately.

I used to have a Chinese landlord. We got 3' of snow dumped on us one year and he helped me shovel our driveway. Then we shared his last cigarette, which had been crushed in his back pocket so the filter broke off. There was a panda on the pack and he told me it was the same brand the Chinese president smokes. I dunno if it increased my cardio but it was an experience
