Imagine telling someone you hate doing something and they just tell you you need to work harder at it or do more of it. It's a bit offensive, don't you think?

Yes, I already said I don't run that far or fast. No need to rub it in or brag at how much farther you can run. I do run a 5k each time, but "a bit over 3 miles" sounded less pretentious to say than "3.11 miles". It takes me 32-36 minutes depending on the day, route, weather, etc. It's slow.

I have no interest in running much farther of a distance. My time in the mornings before work is limited and I live in a very hot climate where I only get a very brief period after the sun rises before the heat is unbearable for running. In my area, people do run in the full sun when it's 99F, but I personally cannot do that. If I accidentally start a run too late in the morning, I end up regretting it because of the heat. No, I don't have any interest in running in the dark or running on a treadmill at a gym. Might eventually make my way up to 8k when it gets cooler out, but we'll see. Def not going to be running farther than that.
