Alle løber. Alle poster deres Strava. Alle mødes kl. 06.15 foran et bageri i matchende uniformer – og spiser fastelavnsboller midt i et halvmaraton. Men er løb faktisk så sundt, som internettet vil have dig til at tro? Eller er det blevet en hel kult? I dagens episode af Sund Fornuft deinfluerer Sophie Birch en af tidens største trends: LØB. Hun graver i forskningen, kulturen og psykologien bag løbebølgen – og deler ærligt sin egen erfaring med at presse kroppen for hårdt. Forvent lige dele skarp sundhedsskepsis, faktatjek og varme. Sophie kommer bl.a. ind på: 🌀 Trendmodstand – hvorfor jo mere alle taler om noget, jo mindre lyst får hun selv 🏛️ Løbets historie – fra overlevelse og jagt, over antikkens præstation, til 60'ernes joggingbølge og nutidens selvoptimering 🔬 Hvad forskningen faktisk siger – lavere risiko for tidlig død og hjertekarsygdom (og hvorfor du ikke behøver løbe 21 km for at få gevinsten) 🦵 Myten om de ødelagte knæ – og hvad løbeskader i virkeligheden skyldes 🔥 Inflammation efter lange løbeture – naturlig kropsproces eller fare? Og hvornår balancen tipper 👟 Need-to vs. nice-to – hvilket gear du faktisk har brug for, når kulturen vil sælge dig vest, pulsur og abonnementer 🤝 Løb som identitet, status og fællesskab – sociologien (Bourdieu, Giddens m.fl.) om hvordan vi viser, hvem vi er, gennem træning ❤️ Er det løbet eller fællesskabet, vi mangler? – og hvorfor sundhed ikke behøver at hedde løb Stay tuned og stay fornuftig. 🧠 Vært: Sophie Birch Producer, post-produktion og SoMe-video: Kasper Møller Redaktør: Sidsel Kaae Nørgaard Litteraturliste Anderson, J.
