Ironman Barcelona got cancelled the day before the race. Right call, but it left 3,300+ athletes, more than half of them first-timers, with a year of training and nothing to show for it.Which got me thinking: when did we start normalising abnormal feats? 1.3 million people entered the London Marathon ballot, people are running across Africa, and I genuinely don't know if I like running or if I just think I'm supposed to.We get into Ironman's rough 2026, what an Ironman actually costs, whether Strava is doing our running for us, and one question: would you still run a marathon if you couldn't post about it?
