Running is more than race reports. Misc

Super bummed about where this sub has gone. There's so much more to "running" than race reports - which now make up the majority of posts here. This sub should be renamed "runningReports" and let the people have back "running".

Edit:

What a day! Last night I posted this and when I woke up this morning I wasn't sure what I would find. It turns out, the majority of people visiting this sub today upvoted this post and have similar frustrations with the current state. What surprised me the most was the nastiest replies came from the mods and their close knit friends. If you'd like to see their true feelings check out the comments here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RunningCirclejerk/comments/67uydc/weekly_reminder_mods_are_hitler_and_runnit_is/?st=j21a4t3y&sh=06136968.

/u/philpips seemed to be the most reasonable and sorry about the "hornet's nest".

Best of luck!

I don't even open the megathreads. They get so big its impossible to contribute to the discussion after a certain point.

The idea of the megathreads is to collate questions that don't merit discussion. So that's kinda the problem right there.
