Online communities matter.

Online communities matter. I've always been a bit of a hermit in real life, but being part of online communities makes me feel more complete, even though I rarely meet anyone in person.
I use Zwift to run virtually when the weather is bad or I just don't feel like going outside. I rarely chat while running, but this time I ran with some pro athletes again, and the team leader wanted to send greetings to a buddy fighting cancer. I sent her some Finnish SISU.
Seeing those constant support messages appear right at the 10-minute mark (he asked us to send them all at once for a photo) got me emotional. Such a unique, sweaty run.

@ada Yes. Yes, always has been
Some treadmills support it directly, but I personally use a Stryd running pod and a Polar H10 HR strap to get my avatar moving and show my distance, pace, cadence, and heart rate on the screen. That way, an iPhone or Windows PC with any treadmill works just fine. It's so much fun, I've been doing this for years!
