INSPIRATION ALERT! This Influencer Asked 20 Women Why They Run, Even Though She Doesn't Really Care
/A health and fitness influencer spent hours at a local park yesterday, Dumb Runner has learned, stopping 20 women and asking them why they run—despite the fact that she truly doesn’t care.
Melania Knauss-Zara, 25, recorded the women’s responses on her phone, intending to merge them into a single video that she could share on her social media accounts, according to a source. The part-time barista, brand ambassador, and self-proclaimed “wellness coach” endured 20 long, often-rambling answers, the source said, without once complaining or rolling her eyes.
Instead, said the source, who requested anonymity, she maintained a facade of empathy and feigned interest, all the way through.
“She was a champ,” the source said. “Every response she got was either totally predictable or super-schmaltzy—sometimes both—and she didn’t even blink.”
“This, even though I know for a fact that, deep down, she really doesn’t give a crap about any of them or what they have to say about running.”
“It’s rare to see that sort of discipline and commitment these days,” the source added. “Melania really is an inspiration to others.”
Reached for comment, Knauss-Zara asked why I run.
