Just had this thought while running with my dog and getting fatigued. Why does it feel like that? What is going on in the tissue to make it "burn?"

I assume you know you're joking, But actually the main asset that let us our specie survive is our ability to run for long where we beat most other animals. Tons of average persons run marathon for fun. Try to bring your dog running and you'll see that you're best friend will get tired before you.

We don't have nice claws, we don't even run that fast. But we're one of the few animals able to run for hours and hours. Which mean that we could hunt by exhausting our target, and harvest fruits/vegetable over a long distance.

Someone wrote an awesome short story once about humans from an alien's perspective and how they will keep following you forever, until you can't move, until you're collapsed from exhaustion. I wish I could find it to share right now.

I'd love to know the title of this as well.

Yeah I was joking.

That's wild though, I can't jog for more than like, 5 minutes at most haha and I'm pretty fit like my BMI is pretty much perfect, no diabetus, body fat low etc.

Even as a kid my lungs would burn just running for like 10 minutes to the point of breathlessnes and collapse long before my muscles would even begin to feel tired, I never understood why they kept forcing us to but I guess it makes sense now.

I thought our evolutionary advantage was building guns honestly.
