Ain't that true. I used to boulder a lot before COVID, but after lockdown ended everyone in my group had moved on and it was really hard to find the motivation to go anymore.
I run now. Easier to do solo
Run clubs are a thing around here, too. I have no idea how people make that a social activity, though, because my ass cannot talk while jogging.
My wife ran cross country for years and any time we'd run together she'd want to chat while I was gasping for my life.
there's a way to control your breathing under mild exertions where you stay within your breath, if that makes sense. if you're breathing every stride that's probably overkill for jogging unless some other health thing is going on like asthma or allergies. try slowing it down so you take several steps per breath
that's not really "proper" breathing for running really hard, but if you're breathing "wrong" for a jog as it is that might give you better respiration to give your lungs more time on each breath.
I have no doubt you are correct, but lord willing I shall never jog again.
but any time you breathe hard and aren't at the physical limit, you can try slowing it down.
