One runner shares why being fast isn't everything 🏃♀️ underarmour ad
I've set a lot of goals for myself during my running career: finish a half-marathon, finish a marathon, run 100 miles in a month. But one goal that's remained consistent year after year and race after race is to get faster.
It's a pretty common goal among runners at any level. Once you've gotten passed the initial"I'm going to finish" hump, the reasonable. Throughout the past eight years, I've been able to see this particular goal through pretty well. I've slowly but surely seen my pace per mile go lower and lower.
Ultimately, just as I'm a different athlete from who I was when I even began running, I'm a different person now. After reflecting upon my headspace during my entire previous year of training, I realized I wasn't allowing myself to focus on anything but running. Any difficult times at work or in my personal life were simply ignored and replaced with a run.
Today, running never takes the place of anything in my life. It's simply a part of it. From the way I feel in a new pair of running sneakers — I'm personally eyeing the new to take my training up a notch — to the sheer enjoyment I get from a casual run in my neighborhood spent looking at the local murals, my current training looks a lot different these days. It may not be very fast, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.
Because really, being fast doesn't seem as important when I'm running toward so many goals ahead of me.
