Tommo, I signed up for Parkrun here but then COVID hit and it was all closed down. I just never got around to joining after the pandemic lifted. 

Now I belong to a gym and do a 5k run every time I go on the treadmill. I love the feeling and actually, for the first time the other day, got the endorphin high that so many people talk about. But I don't do it for that. I just like jogging.

I think yoga is a fine exercise for those who like to twist themselves up into pretzels. I prefer the gym machines. I do one hour on the treadmill and then go around the room using the arms, legs and abdominal machines. I love it because afterwards I hurt, but in that way that feels good - lol. At my age, I am just so grateful to be moving.

As for breathing, I find during running that I focus more on the exhale than the inhale. It is really rhythmic and soothing. 

This whole Knowledge crap is just that - crap. Anyone can find peace in whatever they do - it is up to each individual to find what works for them. The problem with cults is that they try to force people into a mold. Religions do it, politics does it. Really, anything that requires me to think a certain way is a 'Danger, Will Robinson.' scenario for me. I pay my gym fees but no one tries to tell me how to run even, or what machines to use. I just get access, full stop.I even get access to the pool if I want, which sometimes I do. 

Some people here have mentioned the key element in this whole cult thing - the lack of morality or ethical behaviour, or even simple kindness. Something about cults makes people forget they are human beings first. Not for me, no thanks, nope, no way, oh god NO!

Back to jogging.
