The Real Reason We Run on Thanksgiving

Contrary to conventional wisdom, we don't have to run to justify indulging—we get to run to celebrate being alive.

We get to play baseball." That little phrase, "get to" changes everything. This week, roughly one million of us will get to run in a turkey trot according to data from RunningUSA from 2019 and indicators that registrations are returning to the same level this year. Millions more will head out on their own on this day off from work. Conventional wisdom says people run on Thanksgiving primarily to burn off excess calories, but those of us actually running know better. Yes, we appreciate the fitness-inducing side-effects of running, but running is not a means to an end for us, something we endure to get leaner profiles and healthier hearts. Neither is running a penance for later—or earlier—indulgence. That narrative assumes that what we all really want to be doing is sitting on our couch with our feet up drinking a beer and eating unhealthy food, and that anything we do apart from this we do only out of guilt and discipline. The truth is, we know that after overcoming the inertia that ties us to the couch, the run will be one of the best parts of our day. We relish the chance to be able to run in daylight during this winter month and to sneak away and indulge in some alone time. And, unlike other indulgences this day, we know it will leave us feeling more awake, more energetic, more alive. We know that when we can't run, colors are inevitably duller, possibilities more limited, joys less sweet. We run today, as we do most other days of the year, because we can. In the words of the early-twentieth-century poet [Charles Hamilton Sorley](113/cy08X04/MX68LFKfQZKW89rKBt6kmQ-sW805GfB4BdLN5N48YKb95nCVhV3Zsc37CgQhXVvSQqG3ChlHQW2CXzzH9kKW6xW8tMpdn7FV_q0W73nkVB6b09xJW3KvjJB8q3YGfW4mcKTJ4tf-wYW6xwyxs2X5TsXW728w5f2tRmggW7MxQq88d9jYBTn7QV6F-nYkW2Msfs91wS4zQW7W7rdX5p_5pRW6rDFjd7mW67lW4pZ-jn1ScyRZVGJ6sr4tbsGkW5ZCsYl4fd7jQW6xrY_C7hJgm0VQF3YH4JH4_jW2W7hTB6pCgh2W1z-h9G48kq1TW6w7Rff2mG6lnW8nLhDp6nT09pW5_LhTB4pGJTKW7Hchf-2V082XW29qw6d7p9MqnW6-7sVG8yqRLMW8C7jz11RXYcpW7GGj2999RY6KW5Ng6vQ1RjwLhVkKn5T6_8ryVW21mYLC6_j9LTW3f7tFY3MB76HW38f0LV4y6B9QN26QBrMx40H9N6Tx_RC6FKZcMw2QcGVyvy73f5V1), "We run because we like it / Through the broad bright land." I think it's time we changed the conventional narrative. Of all days, Thanksgiving seems to be a chance to avoid the clichés and the rationalizations, a time to drop the "I run for pie" jokes, even to dismiss the credit we get for being disciplined. This holiday, let's unapologetically appreciate and celebrate this amazing gift: We get to run today! Run tall, friends. — Jonathan Beverly, Editor PODIUMRUNNER [Riding the Indoor Cycle to Become a Better Runner](113/cy08X04/MX68LFKfQZKW89rKBt6kmQ-sW805GfB4BdLN5N48YK9V5nCT_V3Zsc37CgFJ3W5-FbFr1-SfkvW87W1zk5b139dW216hGw4KSGFgW2VMGrg6NvNGmW5hvnTD3zl3QyW96fclw7BT_HBW6lDmy24T-ZxbW8cMwMV4q_Z2vW4Sp0Mm60wqkkW3k8f7477mYKJW1nHnXW4zbggsW5Mc1f34KdfmmN6Y-83PnfWj9VcmDh3307Y-BW81Gmjk59m_s6N8W6d0DxCChBN7gNvGl_C5t2W2_Qbjh7gvtjJW1mNQ4g1LrCWJW4qqxD14ljZ0YW4vn_1Q7H1mT3N8QNrT4-jRd9W4Hfb1M5-g3_tW5LTkRs2cWkmsW1dqvlY2cxmQ4W7gBqD218pK5kW7Z2-vT22K7_nW2xv5G123xkhbVkp4fB3pH0z_VYyv6_63B6DQN1sBMG-ksHL7W3mtcbh6PcQQNW6GwFVt9dDN6KW1y1JHd3Ql65F32Yr1) One day last week the wind speed never dipped below 30 miles per hour at my home on the high plains. I got out in it for the sake of my dogs, but far too briefly. So, at lunch, I hopped on my indoor bike for a virtual 40-minute tour of some Icelandic hills with a few intervals thrown in. It's not the first time this winter; I've added a ride one to two times a week since it started getting cold, and while it feels strange after a lifetime of running outside nearly every day, my body is telling me to believe the advice that says this is not a wimpy choice, but a smart one. Here, an elite runner and a coach tell why and how indoor riding can not only keep you fit but make you a better runner.

Two and half years on, New York has now followed suit, and Martin Fritz Huber digs deeper into the reasons the change might be beneficial from the perspective of the race organizers. Emotionally, however, Fritz Huber agrees with me that we'd rather preserve the idea that we're in the same race as the world's best runners, even if we'll never have the ability to actually compete with them.
