The book was fantastic, the movie was absolutely awesome. Definitely one of my top movies. The bugsplatter was done so well. I always wonder how the movie flew under the radar for me for so long after I read the book. I actually didn’t even realise there was a movie until a few years after I read it. Was utterly satisfied when I watched it

I’ve heard going very slow pace at first is important. You start to use new muscles and stress yourself in new ways so you need to take it easy until you begin to adapt. If you go fast/fastish too early you can cause damage or get splints I think. Something along the lines of pace as slow as a walker and move to higher speed at you own pace.

Hey I’m not trying to be an ass as everyone has a right to contribute but you really didn’t answer the ELI5 question. You just slandered some groups or something

So ELI5, if you are a little baby sheep and your Shepard was out caring for the flock. He provides a vast world for you to live in but there are bad things in the world and your little sheep brain can fall easily to these bad things. Your Shepard realises there is a way he can show you to live well without him around all the time, but it takes a big sacrifice on his part. He takes a look and goes you know what, I’ll be a symbol, I’ll give up my Shepard life and hopefully you will see, there is a bigger picture and a greater good. So little sheep, you can live in a bad world where people do bad things and I guess everyone suffers from it. Or you too can be like your Shepard and make sacrifices to be a good sheep, and if enough other sheep do the same the flock will be a pretty good place to be. PS. I’m not Christian but I figure that’s the gist of the whole thing
