[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you looking for an Olympic medalist time? Because that’s “good.”  
But for everyone else….just run to be healthy and happy. If you want to get faster, train harder and you will get faster. [/quote]

I guess it’s hard to understand, but some of us are just motivated by competition. Even if it’s against myself, or even if it’s just going from the bottom 1/3 to top 1/3. Obviously I’m never getting a gold medal! [/quote]

YES. Doing MY best - that DOES motivate me. I know there are factors that influence my time - for example, the temp and humidity and where I am in my cycle both influence how I run - but when I see gains - going further, going faster - I'm motivated. And setting a goal. Last night I set a goal of 5 miles for this morning. I planned my route, I visualized me running it. I knew it was going to be hot and humid, so I knew I needed to run slower than my body usually likes, but being able to run the extra mile (I've been running about 4 miles recently) was motivating for me to slow down and keep going in the humid soup of a morning![/quote]
