Many runners mention that they entered the race “for fun and exercise,” but if they can be a few seconds or more faster than their previous best time it becomes an encouragement to try to be a little faster at the next race. There is a saying in running circles that states, “If you train or run slow your race time will be slow.” In order to run faster the runner must train faster.
