I'm trying to learn this more. If it's a 20k run, I'll push to 13.1 miles just to do the half. If my weekly mileage is 98 km, I'll push to 100km. I am currently this moment icing my knee so I can push out a 28 km run hoping to reclaim the #2 spot in my run club. Strava has been awesome in many ways but also brings out the overcompetitiveness in me. I'm really trying hard to set distance and pace goals and stick to them. If I set goals when I'm sitting down at my desk they are good, healthy, achievable goals. If I set or change them when I'm running, they tend to be destructive: I can push an extra 3k today or why not pick up the pace these last 8 km, I might be able to finish in under 2 hour. All that adrenalin and endorphins are horrible at helping you with decision making :)
