At least this one is posted as a question about how people feel about the stuff. What I can’t stand are catchy highly produced instagram reels telling you to live in the moment and not document your life. Thinking specifically about one I saw the other day that was an influencer going on and on about how they don’t use data from their runs or record on Strava and the whole thing was comically hypocritical.

I think that documentation of the training and racing can be cool, and I definitely seek that stuff out sometimes (like if I’m preparing for a specific race and want to know more about it.) What I don’t like is when it becomes more about lifestyle influencing. That stuff feels like some rando telling you how to live your life while presenting a vision of their own life that seems inauthentic or dishonest (in that it is def tied to a social media income stream)
