This isn't an "article," it's just from somebody's blog where they are free to post their hot takes. I don't think it's particularly click-baity either.

I shared it here because I also don't agree with it, and I was curious whether it would resonate with anyone here. I'm in a bubble where the thing many people aspire to is to go beyond marathon distance, but there are also plenty of folks in my running club who say then run 10Ks and that's it, and they don't feel they have to justify that.
