Most of my friends on social media run and they all post about what they did in a workout or how far they ran. Not to brag just to post. I personally have no problem with it. Most people just do it to motivate themselves. It's a lot better the posting about some political hate. How do you feel about people posting on social media about how their run went?

I feel good about it. As a serious runner, you need to make sure all of your fitness data is tracked so that you and everyone else knows how good at running you are. If you crush a workout and don't post about it on social media....does it even count?

Exactly! It's a great tool to motivate yourself. I don't find any of my friends trash talking, just using it as a way to motivate themselves l guess. I have one friend who goes live on Facebook during his workouts. He is in his mid 50s and also goes live from the gym. I am sure someone out there has a problem with him doing that, but l have no problem with it at all. He actually went live on Facebook when he DNFd in a marathon he had been training for. I guess he is sharing his experience with all his friends. The good and the bad.
Don’t go out looking for people who post workouts. if it works for them to motivate or so they can see what they did in the past, whatevers. they are getting something out of the tech.
pretty easy to not follow if one isn’t interested.
some like to feel part of the build up and race/season. if that brings them joy or sense of community good for the followers

I don't follow them, they just come up on the Facebook stream. Another girl on my friends list post everyday about her 4:30 in the morning run or bike ride with pictures. No problem with me. I just don't care for political hate. Otherwise good for them.
