I can buy that. Running is my big thing (also HEMA), which surprised many not least myself when I realised I _liked_ it a few years ago![†]. It helps me keep healthy in body, it helps me burn off nervous energy, sometimes it is social[‡], sometimes it helps me get away[*].
[†] after losing some weight I tried various gym things to get what was left into better shape, we have heart problems in the family line and I wanted to reduce my chance of “being next”, fell into a pattern of dynamic movements to warm up, row a bit, move some weights around, then treadmill to finish, and a friend (who also runs) encouraged me to try running off the mill.
[‡] I find there is a certain camaraderie in trail events, and similarly at parkruns (a movement that has probably done significant good to overall fitness, in the UK at least)
[*] a long weekend herfing myself around the Dales while training for an event earlier this year was the most relaxed I'd felt for a prolonged time in quite a while
