Running in bad AQI isn’t discipline — it’s ego.
When air quality is poor, your breathing increases 5–10×, meaning you’re not “building stamina”…
you’re literally pulling polluted air deep into your lungs and bloodstream.
Fine particles don’t make you tougher.
They increase inflammation, stress your heart, and cancel out the benefits you think you’re getting.
Real fitness is smart stress, not polluted stress.
Train indoors. Lift. Walk. Protect your lungs.
Discipline isn’t pushing no matter what.
Discipline is knowing when not to push.
