I feel pleasure when running out in nature, just alone, for myself. Every now and then, I join a race - be it a marathon or some other distance - but running in a race is not as pleasant. It is a completely different kind of experience, different kind of fun.
- sevensor 2y agoPersonally I can’t stand measuring my performance, but a run outside in fresh air, in any weather, is grand, sometimes transcendent.
- ozim 2y agoRunning in a race that was not professional but just “an event” ruined my will to ever do it again. Compared to events like mud race/obstacle course. That street running event was for people who love to compete the runners and public. Have to say I did not do well in 10km run with time 58 or 59 minutes and vibe all along when I just ran for fun to complete 10k was awful all the way. How big of a looser I am to run so slow. In a mud races/obstacle courses I am not that bad I can finish in first half of contestants on 5k distance because I have a bit more muscle and functional strength/coordination. Bunch of obstacles for me are fun and not much trouble. Those obstacle/mud races public and people competing are competing only “can you finish it under x time” where x is reasonable amount for a person to do that.
