11 months ago“You’re only racing against yourself” is bologna.
Idc if I’m racing for 150th or 1st place, I’m gonna sprint at the end. We paid for a race, I’m gonna race. If you truly only compete against yourself, just do a time trial on your own time
Yeah that’s definitely unpopular in this sub so upvote for contributing to the topic. But lots of people run marathons just for the accomplishment, not to necessarily have the fastest time they could train for.
Also, running 45 miles a week is a huge time suck. Not everyone has that much free time
