how is time a factor in motivating you to train?
can the urgency of it add motivation to run harder, run longer, run with greater purpose and precision?
maybe all of the above.
this week is getting into the race pace work.
precision is the key.
if you can going to run at this pace for race, time to run at this pace for the long run.
don’t just run the mileage if you are gunning more for PB then the finisher tee.
the 100 year old marathon finisher did it in 8hr and a little more.
he ran the marathon when he was 90 at 5.40hrs. if you are not going to run faster than him when he was 90, i think you are better off just running to finish.
no shame.
just different goals and expectations.
