Running has a lot of privileges, most importantly you don't need anyone to do it.
In Haruki Murakami's book, "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running," he reflects on the many advantages that running offers. One of the most significant aspects he highlights is the independence it provides. Unlike many other activities, running allows a person to engage in it without relying on anyone else, making it a personal journey that can be pursued at one's own pace and on one's own terms.
This self-sufficiency is a crucial privilege of running, as it enables individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings while they run. Murakami emphasizes that this freedom brings not only physical benefits but also mental clarity, allowing runners to connect with themselves and their environment in a unique way. Overall, the book celebrates the solitary yet rewarding nature of the sport.
