Take running as an example - the couch potato thinks the weekend 5K duffers are "running to excess"

A classic straw man example. I hadn't herd of this 'running to excess' term, but I defy you to find someone who thinks running 5k once a week is excessive. I'm not into running myself, but I walk a round trip of that length a couple of times a week (to a specific destination, I don't mean that's my only exercise) and the idea of jogging it instead doesn't seem particularly radical.
