And typically the way it is described is that it has a role in character development in sort of helping us to be more well-ordered such that we can flourish longterm. But they also express a concern that if you are having an outsized focus on athletics that it can be bad, both physically for your constitution, but also for your character. There are ways of participating in sport that don’t form you in the right way and so I’ve wondered about my relationship with running in terms of the sort of life that I want to have, in terms of the sort of life that’s suited to what it means to be a human and flourish, and I just don’t think sports has been an unqualified good in my own formation. I mean, there are certain qualities that are reinforced that are not…I mean, envy is the big example that I give, or a kind of intemperance, having an outsized affection for sport that crowds out other features of my life or doesn’t make me a good member of my community. So, in asking the question of what flourishing is, what a good life would be constituted of, I’ve started to inspect the role that running has on my life and I don’t know how well—at least in the dosage that I do it in in ultrarunning—I don’t know if it really supports that kind of life.” (WA) Athletics: Seven Diamond League champions to be crowned on Zurich's Sechselautenplatz (AW) Athletics: Sasha Zhoya: “I want to be one of the greatest of all-time in the hurdles” World U20 110m and 60m hurdles record-holder on idolising Usain Bolt, his background in contemporary dance and ballet and ambitions to be one of the great sprint hurdlers (Fast Running) Athletics: Reekie stars again – weekend round-up Hodgkinson and Reekie take second and third in the Brussels Diamond League before Reekie returns to win at the WA Gold meet in Poland   September 6, 2021:  [Links load in new window, * = Registration Req'd]   (CTV) Athletics: Manitoba Marathon returns to in-person race after two-year hiatus (Jamaica Gleaner) Athletics: Fraser-Pryce upbeat ahead of DL Final (USATF) Athletics: Kemp, True shine at the USATF 20 KM Championships presented by Toyota (New Haven Register) New Haven 20K race ends with dramatic finish for top three runners, less than a second apart Athletics: Strong Ethiopians and the two Swiss record holders in Vienna City Marathon Ethiopians Betesfa Getahun and Gelete Burka will be the fastest athletes on the start list for the Vienna City Marathon next Sunday (Lindsey Hein) Athletics:Episode 334: Katie Nageotte – 2021 Olympic Pole Vault Champion Katie Nageotte is back on the podcast today!
