PoGo transformed me from a 5k fun runner to a Ultra Marathoner in 4 months.

Yup, definitely.. I went from running for 1.5 hrs to running 2 hrs, to 2.5, to a full on 4-6 hours on a Saturday or something.. Run/jogging/catching all day is just a mental & physical endurance thing. Thing is, 99.99% of people don't want to put in the hardwork and do it.. IMO, most the player base was just a bunch of fat scrubs using their 3rd party trackers, cars / scooters / etc. It also made me rather pissed to learn that all the level 40 players had a measly 300-400 KM logged when I had that much by level 25 or something in the mid 20's.. I'm lvl 35 now with 1500KM+ logged.. I have a lifetime total of 6 mil exp vs. a lvl 40 trainer with 20 mil exp, except I already have 5X more distance logged. So the game makers want to reward you for not exercising and sitting at some stupid lure spot? That's a huge problem for me with this game.. this game was supposed to be all about the GO.. whatever, doesn't stop me from not playing since I have already long since incorporated playing into my workouts.
