If you won the $1 billion mega jackpot powerbro lotto, would it change how you run?

You don’t need a billion dollars for this issue. Just turn on transparency mode in AirPods or whatever. Even without anything fancy, I can usually hear vehicles, and in any case, seeing them is more important than being able to hear them.

I'd have more time to run, and would focus on hitting some good times.

I'd also build a public track that anyone could use (running primary though) and upstart teams and motivated individuals could use it. They wouldn't have to sign up.

I'd have big trees in the middle like that one at Nike HQ (I think).

I'd grow really long hair, nod and frolick while I announce my decisions from then on out.

I’d move to Boulder bro

Imposter won't have to worry about me winning. I wasn't even close. Notice the difference in the 1.

I would see if I could get a new disc in my back and start running again.

I'd pay Grant Fisher $100k to try staying off the rail next time.

It would not change me much, a lot would go to Charity, A big house, a big yard, maybe a boat, probably more travel, Would be the same as now would be respectful, kind, friendly to everyone, if I disagree with someone I would try to refute it in an argument, I guess I am the Villain now that I believe things like Men can not get pregnant, but basically the sane, still would follow running and boxing and college wrestling.

It’s spelled “Kerley”

I'd be interested in taking that job.

But only on the condition that remuneration be based on time, not distance, 'm pretty slow so that is not negotiable.

But with that condition, I'm sure this could be quite mutually beneficial.

I would buy Letsrun and keep it as a pet, possibly promote the Rojobot.

I'd build a giant pink 1600m running track with smaller 800m (yellow), and 400m (green) tracks on the inside of the loop. Between the tracks would be 50 evenly spaced 20ft tall statues of angry and judgmental ravens. In the middle of the 400m track will be rubber hills, and a jungle gym.

I'd pay all the guys at some random community college $20k if they break 4:30 in the mile, $5k to break 5, $1k to break 5:30, and $200 to break 6, just to lure them in. In order to receive these bonuses, they must do their part in the upkeep of the mile track, one hour a week.

In my own home, I would build an anti-gravity treadmill, an altitude chamber, water treadmill, cryotherapy cooling and a sauna. I'd get a doctor that's an expert in administering steroids to give me optimal endurance PEDs / test. I'd ask nike to design a line of fast shoes that fits my particular feet for me. And don't forget optimal air quality.

Why are the ravens angry and judgemental?

Because the track is a place of pain and punishment

I'd pay a lot more for medical attention and auxiliary work . Regular physical therapy, a strength coach, regular massages, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to call up my personal orthopedist since I know he could see me that afternoon.

These all fit in the "nice to have" things right now, but are definitely financially frivolous. A bit out of my financial means now, but would be pennies if you won the lottery.

I think we can work out a deal.
If I win a billion dollars, I’ll pay you $100/hour for the time you put in running. I’ll even pay for the rest intervals for any interval training you may do.

The best evidence you are a hobbyjogger — by definition — is that even a billion dollars won’t get you to stop running.

Not sure it would change how I run, but I'd be running to the bank a lot less for sure.
