- Simplify flatten_vault API to return usize instead of MigrationResult struct - Add KEEP_FOLDERS: attachments/ and _themes/ alongside type/, config/, theme/ - Use HashSet for collision tracking in unique_filename - Update wikilinks from path-based [[folder/slug]] to title-based [[slug]] - Clean up empty directories after flattening - Flatten demo-vault-v2: move all notes from type-based subfolders to root - Update smoke tests for flat vault structure - Remove migrate_to_flat_vault from repair_vault (one-time migration only) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Running
Running covers casual road running, trail running, and the role of running as cross-training for cycling. It is not a primary sport but a complementary one — used for variety, mental clarity, and maintaining aerobic fitness when the bike is not an option.
Why this matters
Running is the most accessible form of exercise when traveling, during bad weather, or when a cycling session is not practical. It provides a different kind of physical stimulus that complements cycling well, especially for general aerobic capacity and mental resilience. The meditative quality of a solo run — no power meter, no route planning, just movement — has a restorative effect that is distinct from structured cycling training. The ideas in note-born-to-run about human endurance capacity are inspiring, and the parallels between running and knowledge work (steady pace, long effort, the importance of not starting too fast) connect to themes in the-two-types-of-hard.
Key resources
- note-born-to-run — Christopher McDougall's exploration of human endurance and the joy of running
- topic-cycling-training — the primary sport that running complements
- recovery-week-in-training — the principle of periodic rest that applies across all endurance disciplines
- topic-sleep-recovery — the recovery side that makes training adaptations possible
- Strava and basic GPS watch — the minimal tooling needed for casual running
Notes
- Running is the best cross-training for cycling because it maintains aerobic fitness while using different muscle groups, reducing overuse injury risk
- Trail running is more engaging than road running and easier on the joints — the varied terrain demands attention that makes the time pass faster
- The risk of running too much as a cyclist is that it can create fatigue that interferes with key cycling sessions — keeping it to 1-2 easy runs per week avoids this
- Running is uniquely good for thinking through problems — the rhythm and lack of required attention (unlike cycling in traffic) free up mental processing in a way few other activities do
- Starting a run is always the hardest part; the mood boost that comes by kilometer two is remarkably reliable
