Lol I bike 55km a day
Everybody has their own definition of what distance is impactful.
And buying a nice car doesn’t always mean you’re having a midlife crisis, I don’t think the industry would survive on that alone. The article isn’t talking about depression, it’s talking about a midlife crisis. You didn’t discredit the opinion of the article by pointing out you like to bike when you’re depressed, but your comment did come across as dismissing it and making it about yourself juuuuust saying. I bought a nice truck, I’m not going to dismiss that this is a common thing people do during a midlife crisis because I’m not at midlife.
"Extreme" is in the title. If you're explicitly stating that you're responding to "midlife" I can't be expected to presume you're opting out of "extreme." I agree with that. I also dispute there's anything new about it. Average age of NY marathon runners in 1980 was 37. In 2011 it was 41.My point had nothing to do with the distance, I was just saying that resorting to athleticism in the face of depression has little to do with how old you are.
