Anecdotes are only derided or promoted by people who don't understand them. They're very useful for hypothesis framing, and that's not nothing--often coming up with the right question is one of the toughest parts of doing science well. Without a hypothesis a scientific study is pretty difficult to run in any meaningful way. I think it was Asimov who said that the greatest phrase in science isn't "Eureka", it's, "Gee, that's funny." But also, I'd like to echo other sentiments here, which is that either way, I'm glad you're on the mend.I've gone from running once a week and feeling like hammered shit to running twice a week and suffering zero ill effects. Anecdata of one.
