But actually, you don't want cotton on your feet when you're running because...

As a lot of people, I'm sure, who ran the half marathon know, you can get blisters if you wear the wrong socks.

Yeah, exactly.

And to be fair, like the other side of it is I've really enjoyed connecting more with the like social runner or kind of the everyday runner through Swifter.

And it's really helped me like step away from that elite side where every second mattered and it was like all or nothing.

It's kind of helped me like see the love of running I had again.

Yeah yeah exactly and I think when you're like at an elite level and trying to make it to Olympics and Worlds and everything like there's days I've been crying over a second you know what I mean that I didn't run I didn't run a second faster in a race and then when you step away and just look at a half marathon or the everyday runner and they're so happy they've achieved something they never thought they would so it's kind of brought me back to reality I think.

Yeah, look, it's different.

I guess I do have that elite mindset.

And obviously, as I said, I do want to go back to competing and I don't want to be competing unless I'm competing at a high level.

So I guess I am built like that.

But I think seeing that whole side of running and all the different areas of running you can enjoy has also helped me.

Yeah, I think for me it was there was two things like funding wise.

It's difficult.

It was I think it happens to a few athletes.

As soon as I got enough funding and sponsorship to be full time was kind of coincided when I got injured.

And then the clock starts ticking on when you're going to get caught from your funding and your sponsorship.

So I think I wanted to train myself up in other things.

So I went to learn graphic design and kind of website design, which ultimately helped me start Swifter.

And that was something I can do anywhere in the world if I'm on training camp or something like that.
